Overview edit

Virtus Roma comes back to the Serie A after five years in Serie A2. Roma gained the promotion to the highest Italian league by ending the 2018–19 Serie A2 season at the first place in the West division.

The 2019-20 season was hit by the coronavirus pandemic that compelled the federation to suspend and later cancel the competition without assigning the title to anyone.[1] Roma ended the championship in 14th position.
