The1925-26 Prima Divisione was the twenty-sixth edition of theItalian Football Championship and the fifth and last season brandedPrima Divisione (before its re-brand toDivisione Nazionale). This season was the third from which the Italian Football Champions' celebrations included adorning the team jerseys in the subsequent season with aScudetto. The 1925–26 Prima Divisione was the second Italian Football Championship won byJuventus and their first in the scudetto era.
All five seasons of Prima Divisione were scheduled as regional competitions, leading to a national final.
Udinese andParma FC had been promoted from the Second Division.
Goal average was introduced eliminating the tie-breakers.
The Northern League decided to create theSerie 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 thefascists 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.
