Serie A could consist of a total of 22 teams next season if the season has to be cancelled according to a report in today's print edition of La Repubblica.
Coronavirus has wreaked havoc on the Italian football calendar in recent weeks and a new government decree has only further complicated matters with all sporting events, including Serie A football, postponed until at least April 3.
With many games now needing rescheduling and not a lot of time left coupled with the fact the whole Coronavirus situation is entirely unpredictable, the season might just be called off.
Calling the season off would bring about many problems though such as who would be crowned champions, who would qualify for European competitions and then there is relegation and promotion from Serie B to worry about too.
As per this report, the Serie A teams who occupy the bottom three places, in the event the league is cancelled, will be spared from relegation. The top two in Serie B will however not be punished and they will still be promoted thus meaning Serie A will have two extra teams.
The report goes on to add that European football's governing body might even postpone the Euro 2020 in order to allow for seasons to be finished across the continent if it needs to come to that.

It’s very harsh but I fell as long as everyone has played the same amount of games it’s something that should be considered.

some teams has easier games than others. while they will recognize the current positions, they will not grant the title to any club. just use the current positions for European competition s qualification. its sad for Lazio as they really have good chance to win the title for the first time in many years, still it's sad for Juve not to win their 9th continues league in a raw.
Lazio can't win the title in front of us bro

for Liverpool I would sympathize with them. I think epl should give them the title even if the league got suspended, but am not sure about epl laws or if they will suspend the league.
If it was anyone I would agree, they fully deserve it but just because it’s Liverpool I would want them to rather not get the title or their fans not be able to see it because that would be funny.

I mean if it happens in England it’s probably a fair reflection on how teams have performed this season to where they are in the table. I don’t see the point in delaying it we are in March you might as well just end the season and focus on the Euros or their families. It would be unfair if a player gets it and passes it on to the rest of the squad because then they wouldn’t be able to play and could get relegated when they wouldn’t have if they could play.
