The 2023–24 Serie B (known as the Serie BKT for sponsorship reasons) is the 92nd season of the Serie B since its establishment in 1929.
Changes
The following teams have changed divisions since the 2022–23 season:
To Serie BRelegated from Serie A Promoted from Serie C
|
From Serie BPromoted to Serie A Relegated to Serie C
|
Feralpisalò will play in Serie B for the first time in history this season, the 125th team entering this round robin league.
After 50 years of absence, Lecco returned to Serie B for the first time since 1973, Catanzaro returned to Serie B after a 17 year spell in lower divisions and Reggiana returned to Serie B after a 2 year spell in Serie C.
On 1 July 2023, the Co.Vi.So.C. rejected the applications of Lecco (due to the documentation involving their home venue of Padua for the season being presented late) and Reggina (due to financial irregularities).[3] On appeal, the Federal Council readmitted Lecco, but confirmed Reggina's exclusion.[4] The following level of appeal, the Collegio di Garanzia of the Italian Olympic Committee, withheld Reggina's exclusion while also ruling in favour of Perugia's demand to overrule FIGC's decision to accept Lecco.[5]
On 3 August, the Administrative Court of Rome again reversed Lecco's exclusion, readmitting the Lombardian club into the Serie B league, while rejecting Reggina's request for readmission. Those decisions are expected to be appealed at the Council of State later on 29 August.[6] In case of any vacancies, Brescia and Perugia (in that order) are expected to be readmitted to the league.
On 30 August, the Council of State rejected the demands of Perugia and Reggina and rule in favour of Lecco and Brescia, consequently the two teams are allowed to take part in the league.
Teams
Stadiums and locations
- ↑ Feralpisalò temporarily relocated to Stadio Leonardo Garilli (home stadium of Piacenza) after Stadio Lino Turina did not meet Serie B requirements.
- ↑ Lecco played in Stadio Euganeo (home stadium of Padova) the first home game of the season because Stadio Rigamonti-Ceppi initially did not meet Serie B requirements.
