Geographical distribution of 2005-06 Serie C2 teams. Serie C2/A teams are depicted with red dots, Serie C2/B with green, and Serie C2/C with yellow ones. The 2005–06 Serie C2 was the football league season of Italian Serie C2 for the years 2005 and 2006. It was divided into two phases: the regular season , played from August 28, 2005 to May 7, 2006, and the playoff phase. Once the regular season was over teams placed 2nd to 5th entered a playoff to determine the second team in each division to be promoted to Serie C1. At the same time, teams placed 14th to 17th entered a playout for the right to remain in Serie C2 the following season.
As usual, Serie C2 was composed by three divisions, whose teams were divided geographically. Division C2/A was mainly composed by Northern Italy and Sardinian teams, whereas division C2/B included North-Central and Central Italy teams, with the exception of two teams from Campania (Benevento and Cavese ), and division C2/C was represented by teams hailing from Central-Southern Italy and Sicily .
Teams finishing first in the regular season, plus one team winning the playoff round from each division were promoted to Serie C1 ; teams finishing last in the regular season, plus two relegation playoff losers from each division were relegated to Serie D , losing also their professional club status. In all, six teams were promoted to Serie C1, and nine teams were relegated to Serie D.
Teams The season originally features 9 teams from Serie D, 6 teams from Serie C1 and 41 teams from last season Serie C2. However, COVISOC had expelled Calcio Como S.p.A., A.C.
