The 2025-26 Serie A season is set to begin on August 23, 2025, and conclude on May 24, 2026, marking the 124th edition of Italy’s top-flight football competition. Napoli enters the campaign as the defending champions, having claimed their fourth Serie A title in the previous season[7].

The full fixture list for the new season was released in early June. AC Milan will host Cremonese at San Siro on opening day, with key clashes against Napoli (matchdays 5 and 31), Juventus (6 and 34), Atalanta (9 and 36), Roma (10 and 22), and the Milan derby on matchdays 12 and 28. The calendar also includes midweek rounds on October 29 and January 6, with the winter break for international fixtures. The final day of the season falls on May 24, 2026[1].

After a disappointing 2024-25 campaign that saw Milan finish eighth, changes have taken place: Igli Tare joins as sporting director and Massimiliano Allegri returns as head coach. With no European commitments, Milan’s focus will be solely on domestic success this year[3].

From a financial perspective, the summer 2025 transfer window has been active, particularly for Juventus, AC Milan, and Inter, who have been responsible for some of Serie A’s highest transfer fees so far. The window remains open until September 1, with notable moves such as Lloyd Kelly’s transfer from Newcastle United to Juventus ranked among the most expensive deals[5].

As for competition structure, Serie A consists of 20 teams. The top four secure Champions League spots, while three teams are relegated to Serie B at season’s end. In cases of teams level on points, head-to-head results are used as the primary tiebreaker, followed by goal difference and goals scored[4].

Looking back at the standings from the 2024-25 season, Napoli finished first, followed by Inter, Atalanta, and Juventus. Milan placed eighth, emphasizing the need for improvement in the upcoming campaign[2].
