The Italian football season officially kicks off tonight with two fixtures in the preliminary round of the Coppa Italia.
It is still a little while until Serie A and B begin, but this evening there will be the first two competitive matches of the 2026-27 season in Italy.
They are the preliminary round of the Coppa Italia, to see who enters the tournament proper.
The path is already set out, as the Coppa Italia is drawn like a tennis competition with seeds and ranking.
It was won by Inter last season, beating Lazio 2-0 in the Final.
