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 62 cities that have taken part in 92 Serie A championships in a single round that was played from the 1929–30 season until the 2024–25 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]

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

56 out of the 62 cities that host past Serie A clubs are present-day provincial capitals, while 6 not. ^[3] Consequently, 56 out the 107 provinces of Italy were represented in Serie A in their history, while 51 not yet. ^[1]
