After 1928–1929 season: the single table

In 1929 FIGC changed the mechanism of the championship, and created the Serie A as we know it today (a single league with 16, 18 or 20 teams).

Seasons in Serie A

There are 68 teams representing 61 cities that have taken part in 92 Serie A championships in a single round that was played from the 1929–30 season until the 2023–24 season. Milan, Turin, Genoa, Rome and Verona are the five cities that hosted derbies. Internazionale is the only team that has played Serie A football in every season. The teams in bold compete in Serie A currently. ^[1]

92 seasons: Internazionale 91 seasons: Juventus , Roma 90 seasons: Milan 86 seasons: Fiorentina 81 seasons: Lazio 80 seasons: Torino 78 seasons: Napoli 77 seasons: Bologna 66 seasons: Sampdoria [2] 63 seasons: Atalanta 56 seasons: Genoa 51 seasons: Udinese 43 seasons: Cagliari 33 seasons: Hellas Verona 30 seasons: Bari, Vicenza 29 seasons: Palermo 27 seasons: Parma 26 seasons: Triestina 23 seasons: Brescia

19 seasons: SPAL 18 seasons: Lecce , Livorno 17 seasons: Catania, Chievo 16 seasons: Ascoli, Empoli , Padova 13 seasons: Alessandria, Cesena, Como, Modena, Novara, Perugia, Venezia 12 seasons: Pro Patria 11 seasons: Foggia, Sassuolo 10 seasons: Avellino 9 seasons: Reggina, Siena 8 seasons: Cremonese, Lucchese, Piacenza, Sampierdarenese [2] 7 seasons: Catanzaro, Mantova, Pescara, Pisa, Varese 6 seasons: Pro Vercelli 5 seasons: Messina, Salernitana 4 seasons: Casale 3 seasons: Crotone, Frosinone , Lecco, Legnano, Reggiana, Spezia 2 seasons: Ancona, Benevento, Monza , Ternana 1 season: Carpi, Pistoiese, Treviso

16 of these teams actually play in Serie B and 20 belong to the Serie C, while the remaining 11 clubs lost their professional status.

By province

54 out of the 61 cities that host past Serie A clubs are present-day provincial capitals, while 7 not. ^[3] The province of Forlì-Cesena is the sole one that was represented solely by a town which is not its capital. Consequently, 55 out the 107 provinces of Italy were represented in Serie A in their history, while 52 not yet. ^[1]
