Italian football 2026–27 season updates

Overview

The 2026–27 Italian football season has transitioned into competitive play, beginning with the 95th edition of Serie B. The season officially opened on Friday, 21 August, with an ‘Open Day’ match between LR Vicenza and Catanzaro at the Romeo Menti Stadium.

In the season opener, Vicenza secured a 3-2 comeback victory against Catanzaro. While Catanzaro controlled much of the first half, Vicenza managed to overturn the scoreline. Catanzaro manager Giorgio Gorgone expressed frustration, stating his team failed to be ‘ruthless’ when in control and conceded three goals from set-pieces. Vicenza coach Fabio Gallo praised his squad’s resilience and the impact of substitutions, specifically noting Alessandro Pietrelli’s equalizing goal.

Other opening results in Serie B included comeback victories for Arezzo against Avellino and Ascoli against Verona, while Modena defeated Benevento 2-1. In Serie C, Potenza secured a 4-1 win over Casarano, and Casertana drew 3-3 with Barletta.

To support the season, broadcasting has been expanded through an integrated multi-platform strategy. In Italy, matches are co-exclusively broadcast by DAZN and LaB Channel, with DAZN offering one match per matchday for free to non-subscribers to promote the league. Technical enhancements include increased camera usage, such as drones, behind-the-goal, and mobile cameras, to assist the VAR system.

In pursuit of promotion, Vicenza has bolstered its squad with three major signings: striker Silvio Merkaj from Südtirol in a deal valued at approximately 800,000 euros, midfielder Alessandro Bellemo from Sampdoria, and defender Andrea Papetti from Reggiana.
