Italian teams returned to play in June with the Coppa Italia being decided on penalties as Napoli beat Juventus. League fixtures also resumed with the Bianconeri topping the table for the 36th time in the club’s history.

Lecce, Brescia, and SPAL finished in the bottom three and were relegated to Serie B. The teams will be replaced by Benevento, Crotone, and Spezia for the new season.

The 2020/21 Serie A season kicked off on the weekend of September 19, the later-than-usual start date being necessitated by the late completion of the last campaign. UEFA Nations League fixtures are also scheduled for early September.

Serie A sides are going to have had a much shorter pre-season period with just a matter of weeks between competitive fixtures having wrapped up and the new wave of games beginning. It remains to be seen if the truncated break will lead to a shakeup in the status quo in the Italian league.
