The '''Italian Baseball League''' ('''IBL''', {{langx|it|Campionato italiano di baseball|link=no}}), officially known as the '''Serie A''' ({{IPA|it|ˈsɛːrje ˈa}}), is the top-level [[baseball]] [[baseball league|league]] in Italy. Founded in 1948, it is governed by the Italian Baseball & Softball Federation (FIBS), which has its headquarters in [[Rome]].

Many of the teams are based in the northern [[Emilia-Romagna]] region of Italy, which has historically been the hotbed of baseball in the country; a team from the [[Republic of San Marino]] also plays in Serie A.

Like most professional sports leagues in Europe, and unlike [[professional baseball]] leagues in North America and Asia, the IBL uses a [[promotion and relegation]] system; the bottom five clubs are relegated to the [[Serie B (baseball)|Serie B]] minor league. Winners of the league are awarded a ''[[scudetto]]'', and earn the right to represent Italy in the [[European Champions Cup (baseball)|European Champions Cup]].{{efn|That is, for Italian clubs; [[San Marino Baseball Club|San Marino BC]] automatically qualifies to play in the European Cup as the sole representative of the [[San Marino|Republic of San Marino]].}}

== History ==
{{See also|Baseball in Italy}}
Until 2010, the IBL featured a promotion-and-relegation league format that demoted the last place finisher to the minor leagues (Series A2), while the [[Serie A2 (baseball)]] champion would be promoted into the IBL. This was changed in late 2009, when FIBS approved the decision to introduce a fixed-team [[professional sports league organization|franchise]] format (similar to that found in [[Major League Baseball]]) starting with the 2010 season. 

However, in 2018, the promotion-and-relegation system was reintroduced.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.baseballmania.eu/notizie/serie-a1/basta-ibl-si-ritorna-alla-serie-a1/ |title=Basta IBL! Si ritorna alla serie A1! |agency=baseballmania.eu |date=20 December 2017 |lang=it}}</ref>

In 2021, the Italian Baseball League was rebranded as Serie A, bringing together the previous eight-team Serie A1 and the second-tier Serie A2. The new league was structured into 33 participating teams in 8 divisions, or ''gironi'' ({{lit}} "groups"). The 8 ''gironi'' winners compete for the league championship (the ''[[scudetto]]''), while the remaining 25 will fight to avoid being among the five relegated to Serie B.<ref>{{cite web |title=The history of baseball in Italy |url=https://www.mlb.com/news/featured/italy-baseball-history |website=MLB.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.fibs.it/it/news/campionati-baseball/47557-nuova-formula-per-la-serie-a-baseball-che-assegner%C3%A0-lo-scudetto-a-fine-agosto.html |author=Fabio Ferrini |title=Copia archiviata |archive-date=12 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210412124046/https://www.fibs.it/it/news/campionati-baseball/47557-nuova-formula-per-la-serie-a-baseball-che-assegner%C3%A0-lo-scudetto-a-fine-agosto.html |lang=it}}</ref> In 2023, the league size was reduced to 30 teams, divided into five ''gironi''; the top two in each group of the first phase (''prima fase'') advance to the ''poule scudetto'' (and then to the playoffs), while those not qualified fight to avoid relegation.

== Teams ==
As is the practice in Asian baseball leagues like Japan's [[Nippon Professional Baseball|NPB]] and South Korea's [[KBO League|KBO]], many of the official team names in the Serie A include the team's corporate sponsor — though unlike Asian baseball, a sponsorship name does not necessarily indicate ownership.

=== 2023 ''poule scudetto'' teams ===
Of the 33 teams participating in the 2023 Serie A season, ten qualified for the ''poule scudetto'' (the championship pool). The top eight teams in the ''poule scudetto'' qualify for the postseason.
