1925–26 Prima Divisione

The 1925-26 Prima Divisione was the twenty-sixth edition of the Italian Football Championship and the fifth and last season branded Prima Divisione (before its re-brand to Divisione Nazionale). This season was the third from which the Italian Football Champions' celebrations included adorning the team jerseys in the subsequent season with a Scudetto. The 1925–26 Prima Divisione was the second Italian Football Championship won by Juventus and their first in the scudetto era.

Format

All five seasons of Prima Divisione were scheduled as regional competitions, leading to a national final.

However, just after the end of the regular season the fascists postponed thus project under protests of Southern clubs which would be excluded. They imposed a National Division of two groups instead, and all relegated clubs entered into an extraordinary qualification for the new tournament.
