Teams

Casale, Fanfulla, SPAL, Siena and Salernitana had been promoted from Serie C, while Novara and Alessandria had been relegated from Serie A.

Events

The league was expanded to eighteen clubs to allow a wider representation of Southern Italy.

The goal average substituted the tie-breaker in event of equal points, to save time considering the risk of war. This change greatly helped Venezia.
