The final verdicts from the 2025–26 Serie A season have been confirmed, with Italy’s European qualification spots officially decided following a dramatic end to the campaign.
Inter Milan will represent Italy in the UEFA Champions League after finishing among the league’s top sides, continuing their strong domestic dominance in recent seasons. They are joined in Europe’s elite competition by SSC Napoli, who also secured Champions League qualification after another consistent campaign at the top end of the table.
AS Roma have also booked their place in the Champions League, completing a successful league season that ensures they will compete among Europe’s strongest sides next year.
They will be joined by one of the surprise packages of the season, Como 1907, whose qualification for the Champions League marks a remarkable achievement and one of the standout stories of the Serie A campaign.
Como’s rise has been one of the defining narratives of the season, as they managed to secure a place at Europe’s top table despite fierce competition from some of Italy’s traditional giants. Their qualification completes Italy’s Champions League quartet for the upcoming European campaign.
In the UEFA Europa League, Juventus FC will compete after missing out on Champions League qualification. The Turin club will be aiming to regroup and mount a strong European campaign following a domestic season that fell short of their usual expectations. They are joined in the Europa League by AC Milan, who also dropped into the competition after failing to secure a top-four finish.
Despite their status as one of Italy’s most successful clubs, Milan will now turn their attention to the Europa League as they look to rebuild momentum on the continental stage.
Elsewhere, Atalanta BC will compete in the UEFA Conference League after finishing in the final European qualification position. While they missed out on the higher-tier competitions, they still secured a place in Europe for the upcoming season.
The overall verdict reflects a competitive Serie A campaign, with Italy once again sending a mix of established giants and emerging challengers into European competitions. Como’s inclusion in the Champions League stands out as the headline story of the confirmed places, while Juventus and AC Milan will view Europa League football as an opportunity to reset and push for a return to the top tier.
With all European spots now confirmed, attention in Italy will turn towards squad rebuilding and preparations ahead of the new continental season, where Serie A clubs will aim to compete strongly across all UEFA competitions.
