On 14 April 2016, it was announced that Serie A was selected by the International Football Association Board to test video replays, which will initially be private for the 2016–17 season, before allowing them to become a live pilot phase with replay assistance by the 2017–18 season at the latest. On the decision, FIGC President Carlo Tavecchio said, "We were among the first supporters of using technology on the pitch and we believe we have everything required to offer our contribution to this important experiment."
On 29 April 2016 Crotone earned their first ever promotion to Serie A. One week later, Cagliari was also promoted from Serie B after just one year of being relegated. On 9 June 2016 Pescara won the Serie B play-off to return to Serie A after a 3-year absence.
