2008–09 Coppa Italia

Format

In the previous year, the number of teams participating was reduced to only 42: the teams in Serie A and Serie B. For 2008–09, that number was expanded to 78 with the addition of 18 clubs from Lega Pro Prima Divisione (formerly Serie C1), nine clubs from Lega Pro Seconda Divisione (formerly Serie C2) and nine clubs from Serie D. Also, except for the semifinals, all rounds were one-leg fixtures. The one-game final played at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, which was first adopted in 2007–08, remained.

• First phase: one-leg fixtures
  • First round: 18 clubs from Lega Pro Prima Divisione, 9 clubs from Lega Pro Seconda Divisione and 9 clubs from Serie D were paired
  • Second round: All 22 clubs from Serie B were added to the 18 winners of the first round
  • Third round: Clubs 9–20 from Serie A were added to the 20 winners of the second round
  • Fourth round: 16 winners of the third round were paired
• Second phase: one-leg fixtures (except semifinals)
  • Round of 16: Teams 1–8 from Serie A were paired with the 8 winners of the fourth round
  • Quarterfinals
  • Semifinals: two-leg fixtures
• Final: one-leg fixture at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome

Throughout the tournament, home stadium advantage was given to the projected higher seed (i.e., assuming no upsets). In the two-leg semifinals, the projected higher seed played the second leg at home.

Participating teams

Due to financial problems and other sanctions, the list of 78 teams was filled as follows:

• Serie A – all 20 teams
• Serie B – limited to 20 teams
  • Messina, which finished 14th in 2007–08, and La Spezia, which finished 21st, were left off due to financial difficulties
• Lega Pro Prima Divisione – number of teams participating increased from 18 to 20
  • top 10 teams from Girone C1/A and Girone C1/B based on 2007–08 standings were selected to enter
  • Lucchese, which finished 8th in Girone C1/B were omitted
  • Pro Sesto, which finished 11th in Girone C1/A with 43 points were selected. The 11th-placed team in C1/B had 40 points
• Lega Pro Seconda Divisione – 9 teams selected
  • all three division champions from Girone C2/A, C2/B and C2/C
  • both playoff finalists from each of the three divisions, a total of six teams
• Serie D – 9 teams selected
  • all second-placed teams from each of the nine divisions, except for Girone D and Girone E where the third-placed teams were selected
  • both Montichiari which finished second in Girone D, and Colligiana which finished second in Girone E, were promoted to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione
