1927-28 Prima Divisione teams location map.
Group B; Group A; Group C; Group D.

The format of the championship was confirmed, but AS Roma and SSC Napoli received a wild card to join the National Division as guests, so the Southern group remained solely with eight clubs.

Following merging of new clubs in Rome and Genoa, both Udinese and Anconitana were re-elected in the league.

AC Monza, Ponziana, Carrarese and Ternana were promoted from the inter-regional leagues.

Following various clubs merging and financial bankruptcies for a till weak Southern football, Valenzana and Lecco Calcio from the North, and Tivoli and US Savoia from the South were invited to join the league.

The promotion of the group winners was confirmed.

Relegation zone was theoretically expanded to two clubs for each group, but the Great Reform of the Italian football of 1928–29 changed the situation.^[1]
