The 2021–22 Serie C was the eighth season of the unified Serie C division, the third tier of the Italian football league system.
Contents
Changes
The league is composed by 60 teams, divided into three different groups. On 31 May 2021, the league committee decreed the three groups would be split horizontally in geographical terms, from north to south.[8] The group composition was decided and formalized by the committee on 9 August.[9]
The following teams have changed division since the 2020–21 season:
To Serie CRelegated from Serie B Promoted from Serie D
|
From Serie CPromoted to Serie B
Relegated to Serie D
|
Vacancies
On 6 July 2021, the Lega Pro football league announced Serie D Group A winners Gozzano had renounced on their promotion right, thus automatically creating a vacancy in the league.[17]
On 9 July 2021, the Co.Vi.So.C. rejected league application of Carpi, Casertana, Novara, Paganese and Sambenedettese.[18] All these clubs successively requested being admitted on appeal;[19] in case that is denied, they would still have the opportunity for a further appeal at the Italian National Olympic Committee level.[20] On 26 July 2021 the Italian National Olympic Committee admitted Paganese's reclaim.
Events
On 9 April 2022, Catania was excluded from the league with immediate effect due to financial issues, with only four games left for them to play till the end of the regular season; all of the club's results were subsequently expunged.[21]

As Padova and Südtirol, respectively winners and runners-up of the 2021–22 Coppa Italia Serie C, concluded the season in the first two spots from Group A, an additional spot in the national phase of the playoffs will be handed to the fourth-placed team from Group A itself.
Due to the exclusion of Catania, points for teams from Group C will be multiplied by a fixed coefficient of 1.05555556 in order to determine the best-placed team among different groups in the playoff rounds.[22]
