Rok wcześniej 6 nie uzyskało licencji, więc wypełniono wakaty do 60 drużyn,
Z tych które nie dostaną licencji na ten sezon i za te które spadły do serie D(w sumie 9 z trzech grup) priorytet do zajęcia miejsca mają drużyny B z klubów serie A.
Should a team drop out from the 2018/2019 Serie C season, the priority for inserting a new team will be as follows: A second side from Serie A, a club relegated from Serie C followed by a club who competed in an interregional league. Further information on the selection criteria which is still to be fully defined will be published in due course.
A second team starting from Serie C can be promoted to Serie B but it can never play in the same division as the first team, nor can it play in a higher division. In a situation where results mean that both the first and second team would be in the same division, the second team will have to play in the next professional league down. Should a second team be relegated to Serie D, the club cannot enter the amateur league and will instead be able to compete in the next Serie C season after entries from other second teams are sorted. Second teams of Serie A clubs cannot take part in the Coppa Italia while they can compete in the Coppa Italia Serie C.
Second teams can have a squad of 23 players, 19 of which must be born after 1st January 1996. At least 16 players in the matchday squad must have been in a club affiliated to the FIGC for at least seven seasons. Players can constantly switch between the first and second team to ensure that the squad and age limits are met but they will no longer be able to play for the second team after making five league appearances for the senior side.
