Team changes

The following teams changed divisions since the 2023–24 season:

New teams for the 2024–25 Serie B started early to appear as Cesena FC earned their spot on 30 March 2024 (the first team to be promoted so early in a season),[7] marking the city's return to the Italian second tier after six years of absence and the first time in club history due to dissolution of the former AC Cesena. A few days later, Mantova and Juve Stabia also returned to second level tier after 14[8] and 4[9] 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.[10] They were followed by Sassuolo, who were relegated to Serie B on 19 May 2024 after an 11-year stint in the top flight,[11] and Frosinone, who went down on the final game of the season on 26 May 2024 after just a year in the top flight.[12]

Relegation play-offs

Summarize
Perspective

The higher-placed team plays at home for the second leg. If the teams are tied on aggregate, the lower-placed team is relegated to Serie C, unless the teams finished tied on points after the regular season, in which case the winner will be decided by extra time and a penalty shoot-out if necessary.

The relegation play-offs (play-out in Italian), originally scheduled to be held between Salernitana and Sampdoria on the dates of 19 and 26 May 2025, was successively postponed after Brescia was reported for financial irregularities that might lead to the club being deducted four points as a result.[73] On 26 May, Lega B decided that the relegation play-offs would probably occur between 15 and 20 June 2025.[74] On 29 May, Brescia's four-point deduction for administrative violations was confirmed, however, Lombard club appealed the judicial verdict with the decision coming on June 12.[75] On that day, their appeal failed after they dropped the appeal.[76] On 17 June, Lega B announced that the relegation play-off second leg would take place on 22 June 2025.[77]
