Serie A fixtures 2026-27

Serie A games are played over 38 rounds from August to May, with 20 clubs meeting each other once at home and once away, the format the league has used since 2004-05. Every match in the fixture list above carries its kick-off in WAT, EAT, SAST and GMT, so a fan in Lagos, Accra, Johannesburg, Nairobi or Kampala reads the local time at a glance. For South African readers who call it soccer, the calendar works the same way, and the full list of Serie A fixtures can be filtered by team.

Think of the Italian calendar like a danfo route in Lagos: the stops are set for the season, but the times can shift when television or a European night gets in the way. What follows is the Serie A fixture guide for African fans, covering when the game starts where you live, where it is shown, how the Serie A table (the log, for many readers) decides the season, and which African players to watch.

How Do You Find Serie A Games and the Full Fixture List?

The fixture list shows Serie A games in date order, and the full schedule of 38 rounds runs below it with a filter by team. Pick a club such as Napoli or Inter and the list narrows to that club's season, each match shown with its date and its kick-off in all four African time zones. Italian football leans on a few familiar slots, and the table below converts the usual Italian slots for each country. So the filter suits a fan of one club, while the round view keeps every Italy Serie A match in one place.

Where Can You Watch Italy Serie A Matches Live in Your Country?

Each fixture carries a where to watch line for your own country, drawn from broadcast data and updated as rights change, so Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda and South Africa each see their own listing. A Saturday or Sunday evening slot in Italy lands in the evening across West and East Africa, which suits a viewing centre or a bar with friends. But a weekday 20:45 kick-off ends near or after midnight in Nairobi and Kampala, and many fans there follow on a phone instead, so the local time is worth checking before you settle in.

How Do Serie A Results and the Season Calendar Work?

Full time scores move from the fixture list into the Serie A results as each match ends, and a live score shows while the game is in play. A postponed match keeps its place in the list and takes a new date once the league confirms one, so the filter by team still shows every game your club owes. Dates also move for European nights and television picks, which is why the kick-off column deserves a second look before a round.

The season follows a pattern that is easy to learn. Serie A has had 20 clubs since 2004-05, and each one plays every other club twice for 38 rounds between August and May. The Italian championship dates from 1898 and took the Serie A name in 1929-30, when it became a single league, so Naija fans are following a league with more than a century of history.

What Do the Table, Three Points for a Win and Relegation Mean?

Every Serie A result feeds the table, where a win has been worth three points since 1994-95. The three lowest clubs drop to Serie B each season and three Serie B clubs come up, so the table is worth reading from both ends. Ties are settled in a way that surprises fans raised on the Premier League. A tie for the title or the last safe place goes to a single playoff on neutral ground with no extra time, while other ties use head to head results, then goal difference, then goals scored.

Which Serie A Fixtures Are the Big Derbies?

Inter sit at the centre of two of the biggest fixtures on the calendar, and fans look for them first. Juventus and Inter are the two most decorated clubs in the league, with Juventus winning nine titles in a row from 2011-12 to 2019-20 and Inter champions in 2023-24. The African thread runs through both: Ghana's Kwadwo Asamoah joined Juventus in 2012, and Kenya's McDonald Mariga joined Inter in 2010.

A city split in two gives the meeting of Inter and Milan its edge, and Milan were champions in 2021-22. Liberia's George Weah is the name African fans link to the red and black of Milan, as he won the Serie A title with the club in 1995-96.

An African link runs through the derby of Rome too. Egypt's Mohamed Salah joined Roma on loan in 2015 and signed permanently in 2016, and Super Eagles midfielder Ogenyi Onazi joined Lazio in 2012, so both sides of the city have had an African player to follow.

Which African Players Should You Watch in Each Serie A Game?

Matches with African players carry a marker in the fixture list, and the filter by team shows when their clubs play. For Naija fans the defining memory is 2022-23, when Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen scored 26 league goals, became the first African to win the Serie A top scorer award, passed George Weah's record for an African in one season and helped Napoli to their first title in 33 years. Harambee Stars supporters have their own link through McDonald Mariga, who joined Inter in 2010, while Black Stars fans remember Kwadwo Asamoah, who joined Juventus in 2012. The Serie A stats show how each African player is doing this season.
