Format and teams in the serie

The LigaPro Serie A runs from February to December. Rather than a single long table, the season is split into multiple stages. The format changed in 2010 and has stayed consistent since then.

Sixteen clubs contest the league each year. Promotion and relegation with Serie B keeps the field active. In the First and Second Stages, every side meets twice in a double round-robin format. Winners of those stages meet in a Third Stage for the title. If one team takes both early stages, they are automatically champion.

History runs deep here since 1957. Pausing only in 1958 and 1959, the tournament became annual. Barcelona leads the way, followed closely by Emelec, El Nacional, and LDU Quito. A table of title winners ranked by trophies follows this overview.

Past champions and title holders

Independiente del Valle holds the title after winning in 2025. Barcelona holds a unique record in the competition's history. The club is the only side to have never faced relegation from Serie A since the national tournament started in 1957. Football in Ecuador was played at an amateur level until 1950, which means the professional era is relatively young by standards.

Individual records add another layer to the story you can follow. Ermen Benítez remains the all-time top scorer with 191 goals across 15 seasons in the league. Carlos Javier Caicedo holds the appearance record at 670 matches, a number that reflects the endurance required to stay at the top level. Recent champions and key statistical records from the competition's history appear in the table below.

Markets and odds for Serie A on 1xBet

The match result market settles on the main outcome of a fixture, where a draw after 90 minutes counts as a legitimate result alongside home or away wins. Handicap markets let a bettor back one side with a start or a deficit to balance the contest.

Prices for the overall competition winner appear in the outright market long before the title is decided. Specials and exact-outcome markets carry higher odds for a precise call, such as correct score or first goalscorer. Totals markets simply ask whether a count passes a set line for over/under goals.

Odds shift constantly once the event is underway. Prices on live markets move as the match unfolds, reflecting every change in momentum. You can stake one selection on its own with a single bet, or combine several selections into one price using an accumulator. System bets keep part of the return even if some selections lose along the way.

Match markets

Since a draw counts as a legitimate outcome after 90 minutes, you price all three possibilities before kick-off. Pre-match boards cover the full range of football outcomes.

Double chance narrows risk by covering two of the three results.
Totals ask whether goals will land above or below a set line.
Handicaps adjust the start to level uneven matches.
Correct score predicts the exact final tally for both sides.
First goalscorer markets settle on who finds the net initially.

Outright and specials

The outright market settles on the league champion. Specials add depth to the slip with bets on specific player milestones or team achievements that occur across the campaign.

1xBet bonuses for Serie A betting

The welcome offer starts with your first deposit. This sports bonus applies specifically to the opening deposit made on a new 1xBet account, giving you extra backing for your Serie A slip. You do not have to use it, but terms and wagering requirements attach to every promotion. Conditions change over time, so each offer carries its own specific rules that must be checked before staking.

Free bets work differently than regular stakes. A free bet lets you place a selection on the league without risking your account balance, meaning the stake itself is not returned in any payout. Cashback offers provide another layer of protection for long-term players involved in the tournament. As your loyalty level goes up, the rate can rise, rewarding consistent action across the season.

Promotions are tools, not guarantees: you will find these sports-specific deals at 1xBet when you look to back a match result or an outright winner. Read the terms carefully because every bonus has its own set of conditions that dictate how winnings are released.

The 1xBet app, banking and customer support

The 1xBet app handles pre-match and live betting from a phone. You can follow Serie A live while managing your stake on the move, since the interface supports both markets in real time. You install the Android version directly from the official site rather than a third-party store.

Deposits and withdrawals happen inside the same mobile interface. Bank cards are available for funding your account, while direct bank transfer covers larger movements. Limits apply to each method, so you need to check the specific caps before moving money. Account verification may be required before a first withdrawal clears.

Email handles account and payment issues, while an FAQ section answers common questions about betting rules. When a match ends in a draw or a cash-out needs processing, the help desk is there. You do not wait for office hours to resolve a dispute on a league wager.

Start betting on the serie

Football defines the competition first and foremost. Serie A runs as a league where every match can end in a draw after 90 minutes, so three-way markets are the standard for pre-match slips. You will find home win, draw and away win options alongside double chance to cover two of those outcomes. You can place a bet on Serie A through 1xBet to get started today. 18+ only. Bet responsibly and stake only what you can afford to lose.
