A total of 22 teams contested the league: 16 returning from the 2014–15 season, 4 promoted from Lega Pro, and 2 relegated from Serie A. Vacancies created by the bankruptcy of Serie A-relegated Parma and the demotion of Catania to Lega Pro due to match fixing allowed Brescia to remain in the league despite being relegated. Furthermore, Teramo was due to participate to Serie B but due to the allegations for match-fixing, the Courts decided to relegate Teramo in the last place of Lega Pro of the previous season. After the demotion of Catania, Virtus Entella was readmitted into Serie B as the best team of the relegated teams from the previous season. Furthermore, Ascoli was promoted into the championship after finishing second in Lega Pro Group B, second after Teramo before being stripped of the title for the match-fixing scandal.it "Sentenza combine Savona-Teramo-Ascoli" (il Resto del Carlino)it Article on tuttolegapro.com https://web.archive.org/web/20160304121912/http://www.tuttolegapro.com/altre-news/calcioscommesse-le-decisioni-della-corte-federale-d-appello-sulla-gara-savona-teramo-111330 2016-03-04 Serie B introduced the "green card" at the beginning of the season. The green card was given to promote fair play and good acts. The green card was not given during the game, as it would alter sport rules, but awarded after the match to a player or coach who exhibited fair play by the referee. The player or coach with the most green cards at the end of the season was rewarded.http://www.foxsports.com/soccer/story/italy-serie-b-to-introduce-green-cards-for-fair-play-rewards-given-after-season-090415 MLS Soccer News, Scores, & Standings Teams Relegated from 2014–15
