The 1925-26 Prima Divisione was the twenty-sixth edition of the Italian Football Championship and the fifth and last season branded Prima Divisione (before its re-brand to Divisione Nazionale). This season was the third from which the Italian Football Champions' celebrations included adorning the team jerseys in the subsequent season with a Scudetto. The 1925–26 Prima Divisione was the second Italian Football Championship won by Juventus and their first in the scudetto era.
Format
All five seasons of Prima Divisione were scheduled as regional competitions, leading to a national final.
Northern League
Regular season
Udinese and Parma FC had been promoted from the Second Division.
Goal average was introduced eliminating the tie-breakers.
The Northern League decided to create the Serie A with 16 teams starting in 1926, so the last four teams of each group should be relegated.
However, just after the end of the regular season the fascists postponed thus project under protests of Southern clubs which would be excluded. They imposed a National Division of two groups instead, and all relegated clubs entered into an extraordinary qualification for the new tournament.
