The 2026-27 Serie A2 campaign features an unusually deep field of promotion contenders, with Dinamo Sassari, Rinascita Basket Rimini, Fortitudo Bologna, New Basket Brindisi, and Unieuro Forlì among the most frequently cited frontrunners after the opening weeks. Sassari brings Serie A pedigree and a veteran-laden roster, while Rimini returns much of its core from consecutive promotion finals and Brindisi added scoring depth under coach Brienza. Fortitudo relies on coach Cavina’s experience and a balanced Italian unit. With two promotion spots available—one via regular-season finish and one through playoffs—the 38-game schedule, injury risks, and travel demands across 20 teams keep early probabilities tightly bunched as no side has separated itself after the first handful of results.
