Italian Basketball 2026/27: season calendars and team updates

The Lega Basket Serie A released the 2026‑27 calendars for several clubs. Dolomiti Energia Trentino will open its campaign on 27 September in Reggio Emilia, with the first home game scheduled for 4 October against Treviso. Virtus Bologna’s season starts with an away match at Varese on 27 September, followed by a home debut on 4 October versus Maxima Roma; the team will move to the new Unipol Hall in December and face key fixtures such as the derby against Olimpia Milano in October and a return clash in January.

Monza, coached by Ivan Juric, has overhauled its roster ahead of its Serie A debut, adding players like Ebenezer Akinsanmiro and Matteo Pessina while still seeking experience in goal and central defence. The club’s recent analysis notes that the squad remains a work‑in‑progress three weeks before the first match.

ErbeNobili Basket Corato announced Vincenzo Mazzilli as its new director general and youth sector head, tasking him with rebuilding the senior and junior squads after a period of logistical difficulty. Basket Costa highlighted the integration of five 2010‑born athletes—Ginevra Pini, Irene Radice, Alexandra Janer, Valentina Calvanese and Virginia Libardo—into first‑team training to accelerate their development.

La Larcianese also published its roster for the upcoming Eccellenza campaign, completing the set of Italian basketball updates for the 2026‑27 season.
