Juventus U23

Reserve teams were introduced in Italy in the early 20th century, and played in the Seconda Categoria [it]. On 17 April 1904, the second team of Juventus lost the final 4–0 to Genoa II at the Ponte Carrega field. On 2 April 1905, after a 3–0 away win to AC Milan II, Juventus II obtained the mathematical certainty of first place at the final three-team group stage to win their only Seconda Categoria trophy.

Juventus II also took part in the Campionato De Martino [it], another league dedicated to reserve teams, until the competition ceased in 1976; they won the 1959–60 edition.

Juventus even had a third team who played friendly matches against local teams, and competed in the Terza Categoria [it] in the early 20th century.

A few years before their foundation, Juventus' sporting directors Fabio Paratici and Giuseppe Marotta had already made up an unofficial structure in order to follow youth players' progresses. Following the reintroduction of professional reserve teams in Italian football after over 40 years, and was officially admitted to the Serie C championship, Juventus U23 were founded on 3 August 2018.

On 21 August, Luca Zanimacchia became the first scorer of the team's history after scoring the only goal in a 1–0 win over Cuneo in the group stage of the Coppa Italia Serie C. Juventus U23's first game in Serie C was a 2–1 away defeat to Alessandria, with Claudio Zappa scoring the team's first league goal. Juventus U23 ended their first season in 12th place with 42 points in 37 games, and were eliminated in the group stage of the Coppa Italia Serie C.

In the 2019–20 season, coached by Fabio Pecchia, Juventus U23 won the Coppa Italia Serie C after beating Ternana 2–1 in the final on 27 June 2020. The club won its first trophy in their second year as a professional club. In August, U19 coach Lamberto Zauli was promoted to U23 level, replacing Andrea Pirlo (who became first-team coach), who had in turn taken Pecchia's place. Zauli coached for the following two seasons; in the last one, his Juventus U23 made their best-ever regular-season score with 54 points.

On 28 June 2022, Massimo Brambilla was appointed as Juventus U23's coach. On 26 August, the club changed its name to Juventus Next Gen. In his first season, Brambilla's Juventus Next Gen reached the final of the Coppa Italia Serie C, lost 5–3 on aggregate to Vicenza, but they failed to qualify for the promotion play-offs, having finished the league at the thirteenth place with 49 points. However, in the following season, they obtained the seventh place in the regular season, their best-ever-regular-season placement.

Brambilla left Juventus Next Gen at the end of the season and was replaced by former U19 coach and former first-team defender Paolo Montero in mid 2024. Montero was sacked in the November of the same year, with the team trailing at the penultimate place in relegation zone and with them obtaining one only victory in 14 league matches. Brambilla returned to Juventus Next Gen on a contract until June 2025. Under Brambilla's leadership, Juventus Next Gen climbed the table and reached the play-off zone.
