Feralpisalò played in Serie B for the first time in history this season, the 125th team entering this round robin league.

After 50 years of absence, Lecco returned to Serie B for the first time since 1973, Catanzaro returned to Serie B after a 17 year spell in lower divisions and Reggiana returned to Serie B after a 2 year spell in Serie C.

On 1 July 2023, the Co.Vi.So.C. rejected the applications of Lecco (due to the documentation involving their home venue of Padua for the season being presented late) and Reggina (due to financial irregularities). On appeal, the Federal Council readmitted Lecco, but confirmed Reggina's exclusion. The following level of appeal, the Collegio di Garanzia of the Italian Olympic Committee, withheld Reggina's exclusion while also ruling in favour of Perugia's demand to overrule FIGC's decision to accept Lecco.

On 3 August, the Administrative Court of Rome again reversed Lecco's exclusion, readmitting the Lombardian club into the Serie B league, while rejecting Reggina's request for readmission. Those decisions were appealed at the Council of State later on 29 August. In case of any vacancies, Brescia and Perugia (in that order) were expected to be readmitted to the league.

On 30 August, the Council of State rejected the demands of Perugia and Reggina and ruled in favour of Lecco and Brescia, consequently the two teams were allowed to take part in the league.
