(22 goals) The 1926-27 Divisione Nazionale was the twenty-seventh edition of the Italian Football Championship. It was also the fourth season from which the Italian Football Champions' adorned their team jerseys in the subsequent season with a Scudetto. This was the first of three seasons of the Italian Football Championship re-branded to Divisione Nazionale (replacing the previous Prima Divisione). The 1926–27 Divisione Nazionale won by Torino was revoked during the following season. That was due to alleged match fixing in a derby versus Juventus.

The Viareggio Charter

In 1926 the ”Viareggio Charter” submitted the Italian football's organization to the fascist regime. The Northern League was disbanded and it was replaced by the fascist regime appointed Higher Divisions Directory. Three clubs from Southern Italy were added to the original sixteen-clubs championship to make it a national league. The 20th club had been chosen by a special qualification between the relegated clubs of the Northern League which was won by US Alessandria.

Hence, in a complete re-structure from previous Italian Championships, Divisione Nazionale was organised into two non-geographical round robin contests. In 1926-27 it was contested by 17 Northern Italian clubs plus two from Rome plus SSC Napoli. The top three teams from each of they two round robins then decided the championship via a round robin finals contest. The finals phase replaced the previous championship final that had become a traditional appointment with riots and supporter violences.
