The '''Serie B''' ({{IPA|it|ˈsɛːrje ˈbi}}<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dipionline.it/dizionario/ricerca?lemma=serie|title=serie|work=DiPI Online|author=[[Luciano Canepari]]|access-date=26 March 2021|language=it}}</ref>), officially known as '''Serie [[Balkrishna Industries|BKT]]''' for sponsorship reasons,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.calcioefinanza.it/2018/06/22/nuovo-title-sponsor-serie-b-bkt/|title=La B cambia nome: si chiamerà Serie BKT fino al 2021|last=Redazione|date=22 June 2018}}</ref> is the second-highest division in the [[Italian football league system]] after the [[Serie A]]. It has been operating for over ninety years since the [[1929–30 Serie B|1929–30 season]]. It had been organized by [[Lega Nazionale Professionisti|Lega Calcio]] until 2010 and the [[Lega B]] ever since. Common nicknames for the league are ''campionato cadetto'' and ''cadetteria'', since ''cadetto'' is the Italian name for junior or [[cadet]].

==History==
The first [[Italian football league system|Italian football championships]] were composed of a small number of teams. It was in 1904 that the tournament expanded with the first edition of the [[Seconda Categoria]] (''Second Category''): this was a competition in which, on one side, the reserve teams of clubs affiliated with the [[Prima Categoria]] (''First Category'') participated, and on the other side, those provincial clubs that had recently joined the [[Italian Football Federation]] (FIGC).

For the provincial teams, it wasn't enough to beat the reserve teams of the metropolitan clubs by winning the second-tier championship: they had to prove to a Federal Technical Commission that they had acquired a sufficient level of technical ability to compete with the first-team players of the Prima Categoria. Therefore, they were required to demonstrate this in a unique test match, not comparable to a play-off, a match against a Prima Categoria team in front of prominent football figures of the time. The first team to reach the honour, was [[F.C. Pro Vercelli 1892|Pro Vercelli]] in 1907, which even won the [[scudetto]] in [[1908 Italian Football Championship|1908]].

The status quo was challenged by a federal official with a letter published in the football columns of [[La Gazzetta dello Sport]] in February 1912: according to him, there was no movement between the Prima Categoria and the Seconda Categoria, which had to bear the expenses of an entire season only to see them wasted by a single match against the reserve teams of the larger clubs. The official proposed the introduction of a [[Promotion and relegation|promotion-relegation system]], which immediately gained the support of many clubs. As a result, several proposals for changes to the current Championship Regulations were drawn up in preparation for the annual Federal Assembly. This mechanism was introduced by the Federal Assembly on 31 August 1912, when the Valvassori-Faroppa plan was approved. This plan modified the [[Italian football league system|Italian football pyramid]], turning the Seconda Categoria into the new [[Promozione]] (''Promotion'') championship and creating a dedicated championship for Reserve teams. Just as the Seconda Categoria had been managed in the past, the Promozione was entrusted to the Regional Committees, which the [[Italian Football Federation|FIGC]] had established in 1909.

It wasn’t until 1921 that the Pozzo Plan, made by manager [[Vittorio Pozzo]], created a true national second-tier league by establishing the [[Seconda Divisione]] (''Second Division''), a tournament in which all the clubs affected by the heavy trimming of the Prima Categoria, now renamed [[Prima Divisione]] (''First Division''), participated. The new introduced regulations, strongly supported by the secessionist [[Italian Football Confederation]] (CCI) (which applied them starting in the [[1921–22 Prima Divisione|1921–22 season]]) and approved along with the Pozzo Plan, involved the division of Italy into two large geographical areas, managed by the North and South Leagues, with a sharp cut at the center of the country. This meant teams from [[Tuscany]] played in the North, and those from [[Marche]] and [[Umbria]] played in the South. As a result, the Seconda Divisione experienced two different sets of rules, due to the stark geographical and organizational differences: in the North, the league was organized outside the regional framework directly by the [[Lega Nord (football)|Lega Nord]], while in the South, it was still managed by the Regional Committees because the distances and means of transportation didn’t allow for interregional league management. Only in the [[1925–26 Lega Sud|1925–26 season]] did the Lega Sud of major clubs organized the regional Seconda Divisione groups directly. The first teams to be relegated ([[1921–22 Prima Divisione|1921-22 season]]) were [[L.R. Vicenza|Vicenza]] and [[Inter Milan]] even if, after the CCI reunion with FIGC, the regulations were changed, and [[Venezia F.C.|Venezia]] was demoted instead of the Milanese club. 

In the north, the new competition started in the [[1922–23 Seconda Divisione|1922–23 season]] with 48 teams divided into six groups, structured at the interregional level but still vaguely corresponding to the jurisdictions of the regional committees. By [[1924–25 Seconda Divisione|1924–25]], the number dropped to 40 teams and four groups, now geographically more extensive. In the south, not all Regional Committees managed to organize the Seconda Divisione championship immediately, which was especially difficult in the island regions, where the number of regulation-sized fields was minimal. The first season saw about 25 teams participating, and by the following season, this increased to 40, but problems related to the particularly troubled political era began to emerge. Few clubs managed to complete all four championships organized by the Lega Sud between [[1922–23 Lega Sud|1922–23]] and [[1925–26 Lega Sud|1925–26]] due to high operating costs.

In 1926, the Viareggio Charter renamed the top league to [[Divisione Nazionale]] (''National Division''), consequently renaming the lower categories, with the Seconda Divisione becoming the Prima Divisione. The two bodies managing the tournament, the Lega Nord and Lega Sud, were merged into a national governing body called the [[Direttorio Divisioni Superiori]] (''Directory of Higher Divisions''). This led to one of the groups being reserved for [[Southern Italy|southern]] clubs, with many [[Northern Italy|northern]] teams effectively relegated by default.

The far-reaching reform envisioned by the Viareggio Charter was completed in 1928 by the new FIGC president, the [[Fascism|fascist]] politician from [[Bologna]], [[Leandro Arpinati]]. The influential politician established the creation of a radically different second-tier league within a year, meaning no longer an interregional tournament but a single national group, exactly like the one planned for the top league. Thus, in 1929, the Serie B of the Divisione Nazionale was born.<ref>Essendo sorta dalla scissione del massimo campionato, la ''Divisione Nazionale'', in due serie a girone unico, la denominazione completa del campionato era ''Divisione Nazionale Serie B'' (cfr. [http://dlib.coninet.it/bookreader.php?&f=37&p=1&c=1#page/256/mode/2up ''Annuario Italiano Giuoco Calcio 1929'', p. 258]), spesso abbreviata anche in ''Divisione Nazionale B'' (cfr. [http://dlib.coninet.it/bookreader.php?&f=38&p=1&c=1#page/212/mode/2up ''Annuario Italiano Giuoco Calcio 1932 - stagione 1930/31'', p. 217]), ''Divisione B'' o ''Nazionale B'' (cfr. [http://ino.unipu.hr/data/corriere/1935/25.pdf ''Corriere Istriano'' del 29 gennaio 1935, p. 3]). Non di rado, durante il ventennio fascista, il campionato cadetto veniva definito "la Serie B della Divisione Nazionale" (cfr. [http://www.archiviolastampa.it/component/option,com_lastampa/task,search/mod,libera/action,viewer/Itemid,3/page,4/articleid,1615_02_1940_0284_0004_23864743/ ''La Stampa'' (''Europa'') del 29 novembre 1940, p. 4]). A partire dal secondo dopoguerra la locuzione ''Divisione Nazionale'' per indicare nel loro insieme i campionati nazionali di A, B e C (e successivamente anche di D, come dimostra [http://www.archiviolastampa.it/component/option,com_lastampa/task,search/mod,libera/action,viewer/Itemid,3/page,11/articleid,1533_02_1968_0059_0011_21622604/ ''La Stampa'' (''Europa'') del 9 marzo 1968]) cadde gradualmente in disuso fino a venir tagliata dalla denominazione ufficiale dei campionati.</ref> The establishment of a single group for the second-tier league sparked protests from smaller clubs, who complained about the high travel costs for matches across the entire country and the lower gate receipts compared to the top league. They unsuccessfully proposed expanding the first edition of Serie B of the Divisione Nazionale to two groups based on territorial criteria, admitting the semifinalists of the southern Prima Divisione championship by default. The two-group formula would have reduced the high operating costs of participating in the second-tier league and given more representation to the central and southern teams. However, the proposal was not accepted, and Serie B remained a single group.<ref>[http://dlib.coninet.it/bookreader.php?&f=433&p=1&c=1#page/2/mode/2up ''Il Littoriale'' del 17 luglio 1929.]</ref>

The first edition saw 18 teams registered, a format that remained unchanged until the [[1933–34 Serie B|1933–34 season]], when an attempt was made to divide into two groups based on geography (west and east). However, this experiment was unsuccessful, and in [[1935–36 Serie B|1935–36]], the original model was reinstated, which, except for an attempt to reduce the number of teams between [[1936–37 Serie B|1936]] and [[1937–38 Serie B|1938]], continued until the break caused by [[World War II]].
[[File:1972–73 Genoa 1893 (edited).jpg|thumb|[[Genoa CFC|Genoa]], winners of the [[1972–73 Serie B]]; with 6 total victories, the [[Liguria|Ligurian]] club shares the record for most wins in the second tier with [[Atalanta BC|Atalanta]].]]
In the immediate [[Post-war|post-war years]], the colossal wartime destruction and widespread poverty made it impossible to immediately restart the competition. The tournament developed with different formats between the two areas of the country, north and south. In the [[1946–47 Serie B|1946–47]] and [[1947–48 Serie B|1947–48]] seasons, the Serie B was played with a three-group format (geographically divided into northwest, northeast, and central-south). In the [[1948–49 Serie B|1948–49 season]], the [[Italian Football Federation|FIGC]] finally managed to recreate a single group with 22 teams, reduced again to 18 teams in the [[1952–53 Serie B|1952–53 season]]. In the [[1958–59 Serie B|1958–59 season]], the league was expanded to 20 teams, a format that, except for one occasion (the [[1967–68 Serie B|1967–68 season]], with 21 teams due to the reduction from 18 to 16 Serie A teams), remained unchanged for 35 years. 

It was the consequences of the so-called "[[Caso Catania]]" in the [[2003–04 Serie B|2003–04 season]] that disrupted this consolidated tradition and brought the number of participating teams to a record high of 24, later reduced to 22 the following year. 

From 1946, both Serie A and Serie B were run by [[Lega Calcio]]. However, on 30 April 2009, after divisions between Serie A and Serie B clubs regarding the future of the league, 19 of 20 top-flight clubs (the only exception being [[US Lecce|Lecce]]) agreed on plans to split from Serie B to form another governing and financing body.<ref>{{cite news |date=2009-04-30 |title=Serie A to form breakaway league |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/8027857.stm |access-date=2009-04-30 |publisher=BBC Sport}}</ref> Subsequently, on 1 July 2010, the Lega Calcio has officially ceased to exist and was replaced by the two newly formed leagues, [[Lega Serie A]] and [[Lega B|Lega Serie B]].<ref>{{cite news |date=1 July 2010 |title=IL SITO DELLA LEGA CALCIO SALUTA GLI UTENTI |url=http://www.lega-calcio.it/it/Sala-stampa/Archivio/Dettaglio.page?id=890634F8-3FCC-055C-0344-CF8A3DC7C3F4 |access-date=2 July 2010 |publisher=Lega Calcio |language=it}}</ref>

In the [[2018–19 Serie B|2018–19 season]], due to the bankruptcy of [[US Avellino 1912|Avellino]], [[SSC Bari|Bari]], and [[AC Cesena|Cesena]] to register, and the inability to quickly relegate teams (by the deadline for presenting the 2018–19 season fixtures), the second-tier league once again had an odd number of teams, dropping from 22 to 19. By FIGC order, in the [[2019–20 Serie B|2019–20 season]], the league returned to having 20 teams, a format that had been in place from 1968 to 2003.<ref>{{cite web|date=30 January 2019 |title=Figc, serie B a 20 squadre dalla prossima stagione |url=https://www.repubblica.it/sport/calcio/serie-b/2019/01/30/news/serie_b_la_figc_ha_deciso_dal_prossimo_anno_torneo_a_20_squadre-217843749/?refresh_ce}}<!-- auto-translated from Italian by Module:CS1 translator --></ref>

The second-tier league, following the example of the top division, introduced the [[Video assistant referee|VAR system]]: from [[2018–19 Serie B|2018]] to [[2020–21 Serie B|2021]], it was used only for the play-offs and play-outs, while starting from the [[2021–22 Serie B|2021–22 season]], it was implemented for the entire regular season.

Serie B is the lowest division in which five historic clubs have ever played: [[Torino F.C.|Torino]], [[Juventus FC|Juventus]], [[A.C. Milan|Milan]], [[A.S. Roma|Roma]] and [[S.S. Lazio|Lazio]].

=== Promotion and relegation ===

==== Play-offs ====
Play-offs were introduced in Serie B in the [[2004–05 Serie B|2004–05 season]] to determine the third team promoted to Serie A.

The original formula provided for the participation of four teams (from 3rd to 6th place) who faced each other in semifinals and finals (both based on home and away matches). If the gap between the 3rd and 4th place teams was greater than nine points, the third-place team would be directly promoted to Serie A; otherwise, the play-offs would take place. In the [[2012–13 Serie B|2012–13 season]], there was a change in the final regulation: extra time was abolished in the away leg if the score was tied after 180 minutes.

In the [[2013–14 Serie B|2013–2014 season]], the play-off bracket was expanded to include a maximum of six teams (from 3rd to 8th place), which had to be within a fourteen-point margin. As a result, the number of clubs participating in the promotion play-offs could vary, and thus the structure of the tournament changed depending on how many teams were involved. The third-place team would still be directly promoted if it had a gap of more than 9 points from the fourth place.

From the [[2017–18 Serie B|2017–2018 season]] onwards, the play-offs involve teams ranked from 3rd to 8th place (without considering the gap between them), but the point difference between the 3rd and 4th place teams must not exceed fourteen points (instead of nine). The format is no longer variable based on the number of participating teams.

The current format is as follows:

* The teams ranked from 5th to 8th place enter the preliminary round: 5th place faces 8th, and 6th faces 7th. There is only one match at the home of the higher-ranked team at the end of the season, and in case of a draw, [[extra time]] is played. If still tied after 120 minutes, the higher-ranked team in the regular season advances to the semifinals.

* The teams ranked 3rd and 4th place automatically advance to the semifinals, along with the 2 winners from the preliminary round. The 3rd place team faces the winner of the match between 6th and 7th place from the preliminary round. Semifinal matches are played home and away, and in case of a tie after 90 minutes in the return leg, the team better placed in the [[Season (sports)|regular season]] advances to the final.

* The final consists of one home and one away match. If there is an overall tie after 180 minutes, the team better placed in the regular season is promoted to Serie A. Only if both teams finished the season with the same number of points, starting from the [[2015–16 Serie B|2015–2016 season]], extra time and possibly [[Penalty shoot-out (association football)|penalty kicks]] are played. In both the semifinals and the final, the [[away goals rule]] is not applied.

==== Play-out ====
Play-outs were introduced in the [[2003–04 Serie B|2003–04 season]] to determine the fourth team relegated to Serie C: the bottom three teams are directly relegated, followed by the fourth-to-last team if the gap from the fifth-to-last team exceeds four points (5 points in the 2003–04 season). Otherwise, the play-out takes place with a home and away match: in the event of a draw in the final score, the fifth-to-last placed team at the end of the season retains its place in Serie B. Only if the two teams have finished the season with the same points in the standings, starting from the 2015–16 season, the away match includes extra time and possibly penalty kicks. Just like in the play-offs, the away goals rule does not apply in the play-out.

Starting from the [[2010–11 Serie B|2010–11 season]], following the division within the Lega Calcio and the creation of the new [[Lega B|Lega Serie B]], the second tier of Italian football began managing its own search for title sponsors. The league adopted various commercial names, including: Serie [[bwin]] (2010–2013), Serie B [[Eurobet]] (2013–2014),<ref>{{cite web|archive-date=4 August 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130804012110/http://www.legaserieb.it/it/sala-stampa/archivio-dettaglio/-/news/IL_CAMPIONATO_SI_CHIAMERA_SERIE_B_EUROBET/915010 |date=1 August 2013 |title=Il campionato si chiamerà "Serie B Eurobet" |url=http://www.legaserieb.it/it/sala-stampa/archivio-dettaglio/-/news/IL_CAMPIONATO_SI_CHIAMERA_SERIE_B_EUROBET/915010}}<!-- auto-translated from Italian by Module:CS1 translator --></ref> Serie B ConTe.it (2015–2018), Serie [[Balkrishna Industries|BKT]] (since 2018).<ref name="BKT2">{{cite web|date=18 June 2018 |title=Nasce la Serie BKT: ecco il nuovo title sponsor del campionato |url=http://www.legab.it/nasce-la-serie-bkt-ecco-il-nuovo-title-sponsor-del-campionato/}}<!-- auto-translated from Italian by Module:CS1 translator --></ref> In the [[2014–15 Serie B|2014–15 season]], the play-off and play-out rounds received an additional sponsor: Compass, which led to the names Playoff Compass and Playout Compass for those phases of the competition.

Furthermore, in the [[2013–14 Serie B|2013–2014 season]], Serie B introduced a single top sponsor for all teams participating in the league, which appeared on the back of the players' jerseys for the first time.<ref>{{cite web|date=22 August 2013 |title=Il top sponsor NGM comparirà su tutte le maglie della Serie B 2013-2014 |url=http://www.passionemaglie.it/2013/08/ngm-sponsor-maglie-serie-b-2013-2014/}}<!-- auto-translated from Italian by Module:CS1 translator --></ref> This sponsorship was repeated in the [[2014–15 Serie B|2014–15]] and [[2018–19 Serie B|2018–19]] seasons.
