In late July 2026 the Italian basketball federation and individual clubs published the upcoming season calendars for several domestic leagues. The men's Serie C clubs Orlandina and Forlì released full group‑stage schedules, noting opening fixtures, regional derbies and cup ties that will run into early 2027. Orlandina also announced the termination of guard Adrian Bazan’s contract. A few hours later the federation issued the Serie A2 women’s calendar, outlining opening games for Mercede Basket Alghero and Asd Usmate, the composition of their groups and the dates that determine playoff, qualification and relegation pathways. Together the announcements provide a comprehensive view of the start dates, key match‑ups and competition formats for both men’s lower‑division and women’s second‑tier basketball in Italy.
