Team changes edit

The following teams will be changing divisions since the 2023–24 season:

New teams for the 2024–25 Serie B started early to appear as Cesena earned their spot on 30 March 2024 (the first team to be promoted so early in a season),[2] marking the club's return to the Italian second tier after six years of absence and first time in history due to dissolve as former Cesena. A few days later, Mantova and Juve Stabia also returned to second level tier after 14[3] and 4[4] years of absence, respectively. And on 9 June 2024, Carrarese defeated Vicenza in Serie C play-off finals, thus earning the final promotion spot and returning to Serie B after 76 years of absence. On 26 April 2024, Salernitana were relegated to Serie B after three years in Serie A.[5] They were followed by Sassuolo, who were relegated to Serie B on 19 May 2024 after an 11-year stint in the top flight,[6] and Frosinone, who went down on the final game of the season on 26 May 2024 after just a year in the top flight.[7]
