Serie C Live Scores, Table and Betting Odds 2026/27 | ScoresLive
ScoresLive covers Serie C live scores for every match across Italy's third tier, from fallen giants pushing for promotion in the south to a congested North group chasing the same prize. The 2026/27 season runs from late August to late April with 60 clubs split into three regional groups, the most distinctive format in Italian football, before the playoff and play-out rounds decide the final places. ScoresLive tracks every fixture, group table and prediction as it happens, alongside the routes back to Serie B and Serie A.
Serie C's Three-Group Format Explained
Unlike Serie A or Serie B, Serie C does not run as one single table. The division splits into Group A in the north, Group B in the centre and Group C in the south, known locally as Girone A, B and C, each with 20 clubs playing 38 rounds. A club in Group A might never meet a Group C side all season outside the Coppa Italia Serie C or the promotion playoff, so geography shapes almost every rivalry: Serie C effectively runs as three parallel championships chasing the same prize, one of the quirks UK followers of Italian football ask about most.
60 clubs across three groups of 20: Group A (North), Group B (Centre), Group C (South)
Regular season: late August to late April, then playoff and play-out rounds into June
Three group winners promoted directly to Serie B, plus a fourth club through the national playoff
Down from Serie B: four clubs each season, usually among the early favourites in their group
Up from Serie D: the nine group champions
Coppa Italia Serie C runs alongside the league from mid-August to March, open to all 60 clubs

How Serie C Promotion Works: Group Winners and the Playoff
The three group winners go up automatically to Serie B, the route Vicenza, Arezzo and Benevento used at the end of 2025-26. The fourth spot is settled by one of Italian football's longest playoffs: a regional phase pairs clubs finishing fifth to tenth in each group, fourth-placed sides join for a second round, then the survivors meet the three group runners-up and the Coppa Italia Serie C winner in a national phase, funnelling into a two-legged final, the stage Ascoli used to complete the 2025-26 promotion group by beating Union Brescia. ScoresLive's predictions hub tracks the picture as it sharpens.
Relegation and the Serie C Play-Out
Relegation to Serie D is decided separately in each group, with the clubs finishing bottom going down automatically. Sides just above the drop zone are not safe either: they face a two-legged play-out against a nearby rival, and the loser is relegated regardless of where the two clubs finished relative to each other in the table. It makes for a nervy finish for mid and lower-table clubs in all three groups, where results elsewhere can matter as much as a team's own form.
Storylines to Follow Every Season
The clubs relegated from Serie B are usually among the best-supported sides in their groups and rank among the favourites to bounce straight back, often with squads carrying recent top-flight experience. Behind them, clubs with ambitious owners and the latest arrivals from Serie D regularly produce a surprise package or two, and with three groups running in parallel the race for the national playoff places stays open deep into spring.
Serie C Betting Guide
Group Winner and Playoff Outright
With three separate tables in play, group winner and playoff outright markets are where most UK interest in Serie C sits, whether that means backing a club to top Group A, B or C, or simply to reach the final for the fourth Serie B place. Given the financial gap between clubs down from Serie B and the rest of the division, compare outright prices across the best UK betting sites early, before they shorten through autumn.
Relegation and Play-Out Markets
The bottom half of each group throws up regular value in relegation and play-out markets, especially once fixture congestion and thinner squads separate sides on similar points totals in February and March. Check ScoresLive's latest offers around the run-in, when Serie C's three relegation fights are usually still unresolved deep into April.
Frequently Asked Questions: Serie C Live Scores and Betting UK
ScoresLive provides live scores for all three Serie C groups throughout the 2026/27 season. Head to Football, then Italy, then Serie C for real-time scores, group tables and results.
With 60 clubs spread the length of Italy, one national table would mean impractical travel for a third-tier division. Serie C instead runs as three regional groups of 20, Group A in the north, Group B in the centre and Group C in the south, before a national playoff decides the final promotion spot to Serie B.
Vicenza won Group A, Arezzo won Group B and Benevento won Group C, all promoted directly to Serie B for 2026-27. Ascoli completed the promotion group by winning the national playoff final in June.
The three group winners are promoted automatically. The fourth spot is settled by a national playoff open to the group runners-up, several mid-table finishers and the Coppa Italia Serie C winner, ending in a two-legged final.
Each group sends its bottom-placed clubs down to Serie D automatically. Teams just above the drop zone face a two-legged play-out against a group rival, and the loser is relegated even if they finished above their opponent in the table.
The four clubs relegated from Serie B each summer usually carry the strongest recent pedigree, making them early favourites in their groups, alongside historic names that have spent several seasons in the third tier. ScoresLive's predictions section covers form and odds across all three.
