Official: Serie A 2026-27 dates confirmed as new season kicks off in late August

The Lega Serie A has confirmed the key calendar dates for the 2026-27 campaign, which will begin on the weekend of August 23, 2026 and conclude on May 30, 2027.

The announcement arrives as attention remains on the current season, with Milan opening Matchday 8 against Pisa at San Siro.

The schedule news comes via MilanNews24.

The schedule maintains the traditional late-summer start, falling just before the European group-stage calendar, while the closing date brings the league to a finish at the end of May.

The Lega has designed the timeline to balance domestic fixtures with UEFA competitions and international windows, aiming for a more regular rhythm after several congested seasons shaped by major tournaments.

With the structure now official, clubs and supporters can already map out the framework of next year’s campaign.

The 2026-27 season will again span just over nine months, offering a full calendar without the severe compression seen in recent years.
