Rules

The season will provide a total of nine promotions to Serie C (those being the winners of all nine groups). Teams placed between second and fifth for each group will play a so-called "playoff tournament," starting with two one-legged games played at the best-placed team's home venue:

  • 2nd-placed team vs 5th-placed team;
  • 3rd-placed team vs 4th-placed team.

In case of a draw by the end of the game, two extra times will be played; in case of no winner after that, the best-placed team will advance to the final.

The two winning teams will then play a one-legged final, to be hosted at the best-placed team's home venue, with the same rules as in the first round. The nine playoff winners for each group will be prioritized to fill any potential Serie C league vacancies.[2]

The two bottom-placed teams for each league group are automatically relegated to Eccellenza. Two two-legged relegation playoff games (known in Italian as "play-out") will therefore be played between:

  • 13th-placed team vs 16th-placed team (for 18-team groups), or 15th-placed team vs 18th-placed team (for 20-team groups);
  • 14th-placed team vs 15th-placed team (for 18-team groups), or 16th-placed team vs 17th-placed team (for 20-team groups).

Two extra times will be played in case of an aggregate draw after the second leg; in case of a further aggregate draw, the worst-placed team will be relegated.

In case the two teams have a league gap of at least eight points, the relegation playoff will not take place and the worst-placed team will be automatically relegated instead.[3]

Teams

The league's composition involves nine divisions, grouped geographically and named alphabetically.

Teams relegated from Serie C

The following teams were relegated from the 2023–24 Serie C:

Alessandria, who were originally relegated from Serie C, failed to send a valid application in time and were consequently excluded from the league.[4]

Teams promoted from Eccellenza

The following teams were promoted from Eccellenza:[5][6]

EX Originally promoted, successively excluded. PO Promoted as national playoff winners. CI Promoted as Coppa Italia Dilettanti winners. RE Admitted as repechage to fill a vacancy.

Admissions

Readmissions

On 30 July 2024, the league committee announced the readmissions of Zenith Prato, Crema, Ciliverghe Mazzano and Cjarlins Muzane to fill the remaining vacancies.[8]

Notes:
  1. [a]
    Akragas announced their withdrawal from the Serie D on 12 March 2025 due to significant financial and managerial difficulties.[27]

Notes

  1. [A]
    If two or more teams finish tied on points in the top of the league, once the tie-breaking criteria have applied, the 1st and the 2nd-placed teams play a tie-breaker, whose winner gets promotion to Serie C.
  2. [B]
    Winning playoffs does not grant promotion to Serie C, but a chance to get promoted in case of vacancies.
  3. [C]
    If the 15th-placed team finishes nine or more points ahead of the 18th-placed team, then the relegation playoff is not played, and the 18th-placed team is relegated to Eccellenza directly. If the 16th-placed team finishes nine or more points ahead of the 17th-placed team, then the relegation playoff is not played, and the 17th-placed team is relegated to Eccellenza directly.
