Serie A reveals 2026-27 fixtures with Inter opening at home to Monza

What happened

Serie A unveiled its 2026-27 fixture list at a draw held in Parma on Thursday, with the season set to begin on the weekend of 22-23 August. Champions Inter will open their title defence at home to Monza, while the rest of the opening round pairs Frosinone with Juventus, Genoa with Napoli, Torino with Milan and Roma with Fiorentina.

Why it matters

The calendar quickly throws up its marquee fixtures, with Juventus-Milan and Inter-Napoli both falling on matchday three; Inter's trip to face Napoli is pencilled in for 6 September. That early scheduling lands at a moment of upheaval, testing several sides while their summer reshuffles are still bedding in.

Context

Inter begin as defending champions after sealing a 21st Scudetto in early May, and they do so in a division reshaped by managerial change — Domenico Tedesco has taken over at Bologna, Maurizio Sarri has agreed to lead Atalanta, and Napoli are closing in on Massimiliano Allegri. Milan and Juventus, meanwhile, both head into a season without Champions League football following a dramatic final day.

What to watch next

Kick-off times and broadcast slots are still to be confirmed, and they will determine exactly when the early heavyweight clashes are played. Beyond that, attention turns to how the opening weeks treat the clubs in transition, with the new-look benches at Napoli, Milan, Bologna and Atalanta judged against a demanding early calendar before the campaign runs through to late May 2027.
