Add the Gazzetta del Sud as a source
Lega B gives a gift to all football fans: the final act of the season, which offers the last pass for the top flight between Calabria and Brianza, will be visible for free and without a subscription.
The last 180 minutes of the Serie B season are tinged with great enthusiasm, not only in the stadiums, but also in front of the screens. The double match between Catanzaro and Monza, the home and away final of the playoffs, will in fact be visible free-to-air and free for everyone on TV8 (channel 8 of digital terrestrial and in streaming on the broadcaster’s official website).
A choice by Lega B and broadcasters that rewards the enormous interest generated by this total clash, guaranteeing maximum visibility for what is, in all respects, the key event of the cadet championship after the direct promotions of Venice and Frosinone.
The program of the two matches
The dates are already set and will see the two squares compete five days apart:
First leg: Sunday 24 May (8.00 pm) at the “Nicola Ceravolo” stadium in Catanzaro.
Return leg: Friday 29 May (8pm) at the U-Power Stadium in Monza.
In addition to the live free-to-air broadcast on TV8, the matches will maintain the usual coverage for subscribers on the rights-holding platforms: DAZN, Sky Sport, LaB Channel (available on Prime Video) and OneFootball.
Who gets to the final and the rules
The two teams reach the last act after an intense ride. Catanzaro, led from the bench by Alberto Aquilani, eliminated Avellino and then resisted Palermo’s return in the semi-final (defending the heavy 3-0 lead from the first leg). On the other side, Alessandro Bianco’s Monza broke through, breaking Juve Stabia’s resistance thanks to a decisive goal from Cutrone.
Pay attention to the rules: Monza starts with the underdogs linked to the best placing obtained in the regular season. By virtue of this advantage, the Brianza team will only need to get two draws in 180 minutes to celebrate their return to Serie A. Catanzaro, however, will be forced to win in the total goals to crown their historic dream.
All the ingredients are there for a spectacular double of challenges: on the one hand the incessant push of the Calabrian public, on the other the solidity and experience of a Monza team determined to take back the most important stage. And this year, the show will truly be available to everyone.
