When are the big derbies and matches in the 2026-27 Serie A season?
Derby della Madonnina (Milan Derby)
- October 31: Milan vs. Inter
- February 13: Inter vs. Milan
Arguably the most famous rivalry in Italy, the Milan Derby boasts nearly 120 years of history and was the first intra-city derby in which both teams have won the European Cup/Champions League.
Derby della Capitale (Rome Derby)
- December 12: Lazio vs. Roma
- April 17: Roma vs. Lazio
The capital city clubs have been battling since 1929 and will square off two more times in Serie A this season. Roma have won 71 of the 187 official meetings between these rivals, including both Serie A clashes last season.
Derby della Mole (Turin Derby)
- January 5: Juventus vs. Torino
- April 3: Torino vs. Juventus
Another major intra-city rivalry, this one has been unsurprisingly dominated by Juventus. Torino will have their next chance to edge close to their cross-town rivals in January.
Derby d'Italia (Inter-Juve)
- January 9: Inter vs. Juventus
- May 15: Juventus vs. Inter
First contested in 1909, this rivalry got its name in the late 1960s as it became apparent that these clubs represented the best of Italian football. Of course, there are other clubs that would dispute their status as the two biggest in the country, but Inter vs. Juve has solidified itself as a marquee fixture on the Serie A calendar.
Derby del Sole (Napoli-Roma)
- October 14: Napoli vs. Roma
- May 1: Roma vs. Napoli
Featuring arguably the two most popular clubs outside of Northern Italy, this rivalry has grown in importance in recent years thanks to Napoli's rise to the top of Serie A.
Other marquee matches
There are several rivalries in Serie A that don't have official derby names. Here are a few of them.
Juventus-Milan
- September 6: Juventus vs. Milan
- January 30: Milan vs. Juventus
The oldest-running and most played derby in Italy, these teams have been squaring off since 1901.
Juventus–Napoli
- October 31: Juventus vs. Napoli
- February 13: Napoli vs. Juventus
Stemming from a historic regional rivalry, this derby gained prominence in the 1980s as Napoli became genuine title threats. The rivalry has picked up steam again during the current decade, as Napoli have won two Serie A titles over the past four seasons and helped supplant Juventus as the dominant force in the country.
Fiorentina v. Juventus
- November 7: Fiorentina vs. Juventus
- April 24: Juventus vs. Fiorentina
Just about every team in Italy fancies themselves rivals with Juventus. However, Fiorentina's rivalry with Juve comes with drama unlike the others, with historical accusations of cheating and player-poaching fuelling the friction between the clubs and their supporters.
