2008–09 Eccellenza

This is a list of division winners and playoff matches in the regionally organized Eccellenza 2008–2009, which is the 6th level of Italian football. A total of 36 teams are promoted to Serie D for the 2009–10 season.

The first-placed team from each of the 28 divisions is promoted directly. The seven winners of the national playoffs are also promoted. Finally, the 36th spot is reserved for the winner of the Coppa Italia Dilettanti. This year, the winner was Virtus Casarano, which also won direct promotion as divisional winner in the region of Apuglia, thus Castel Rigone of Eccellenza Umbria won promotion as Coppa Italia Dilettanti runners-up.^[1]

In addition, L'Aquila were handed special promotion from the Federation as they were unable to play the two remaining matches following a massive earthquake in the city.
