With just three Serie A matches remaining in the 2025–26 season, plenty is still to be decided. Inter clinched their 21st Scudetto and were the first team to secure qualification for the next UEFA Champions League. Behind them, the race for Europe remains wide open -- four Champions League spots are up for grabs, along with places in the UEFA Europa League and the UEFA Conference League, setting up a tense and unpredictable finish to the campaign. Here's what you need to know about the European race in the Italian Serie A: 

How many teams will qualify? 

Due to the disappointing European results of the current season, Italy's Serie A won't receive additional Champions League spots next season in the Champions League with the top four going.
