← 1945–46 South The Serie B 1946–47 championship was organized by the Lega Calcio with geographical criteria: for this reason the three groups have different numbers of participants.

Teams

26 clubs had variously qualified for this championship, following the results of both 1942–43 and 1945–46 seasons. However, war damages and political choices imposed to divide the old Serie B between Northern and Southern Italy. Consequently, 20 Northern clubs from the previous Serie B-C and 14 selected teams from Southern Italy were added.

Events

To reduce the fixtures to 34 matchdays the following season, four teams per group and an additional club from Northern Italy had to be relegated.

Three groups were created: North-West, North-East and South. The group with 22 clubs was a record in the Italian football history.
