Serie A unveiled its 2026-27 fixture list Friday, with champions Inter Milan hosting newly promoted Monza in the opening match. The schedule sets up intriguing early storylines across Italy's top flight, featuring traditional powerhouses against promoted sides and regional derbies.

Napoli visits Genoa while AC Milan travels to Torino in opening weekend action. Juventus faces Frosinone, and Como meets Udinese. Roma hosts Fiorentina as the season kicks off the weekend of August 23 and runs through May 30.

The marquee matchups arrive in round three when Inter hosts Napoli and AC Milan visits Juventus. The Milan derby takes place November 1, the same weekend Napoli visits Juventus. The Rome derby between Roma and Lazio is set for December 13. Two midweek rounds are scheduled for October 28 and January 6, with no matches during the Christmas weekend.

The final round pairs Inter at Sassuolo, Napoli hosting Atalanta, AC Milan facing Udinese, and Juventus taking on Frosinone. This balanced schedule gives all title contenders opportunities to establish early momentum while avoiding the holiday congestion that has plagued previous campaigns.
