The 2022–23 Serie C was the 9th season of the unified Serie C division, the third tier of the Italian football league system.

Changes

The league is composed by 60 teams, geographically divided into three different groups. The group composition will be decided and formalized by the Serie C league committee between July and August.

The following teams have changed division since the 2021–22 season:

To Serie C Relegated from Serie B Vicenza Alessandria Crotone Pordenone Promoted from Serie D Novara (Group A winners) Sangiuliano City Nova (Group B winners) Arzignano (Group C winners) Rimini (Group D winners) San Donato Tavarnelle (Group E winners) Recanatese (Group F winners) Giugliano (Group G winners) Audace Cerignola (Group H winners) Gelbison (Group I winners) Torres (Group G play-off winners, admitted)

From Serie C Promoted to Serie B Südtirol Modena Bari Palermo Relegated to Serie D Seregno Giana Erminio Legnago Teramo (excluded) Pistoiese Grosseto Campobasso (excluded) Paganese Vibonese Catania (excluded)

Vacancies

On 1 July 2022, the Co.Vi.So.C. rejected the league applications of Teramo and Campobasso. Both exclusions were confirmed on appeal on 8 July 2022, with both teams announcing their intention to request one further appeal in front of the Italian National Olympic Committee sports magistrature, which was rejected.

The appeal at TAR of Lazio was rejected on 3 August 2022, leading the football league to confirm the repechages of Fermana and Torres. However, later on 4 August 2022, the Council of State suspended the exclusion of Campobasso, with a final appeal sentence scheduled on 25 August; as a direct consequence, the Lega Pro football league postponed indefinitely the announcement of the fixture list. On 26 August 2022, the Council of State finally confirmed the exclusion of both Campobasso and Teramo.

Name changes

On 26 August 2022, Juventus Under-23 (Juventus's reserve team) changed its name to Juventus Next Gen.
