The Italian top league Serie A 2026–27 season starts this Saturday. Four matches are scheduled for the opening day: Inter – Monza, Udinese – Como at 18:30 CET; Parma – Cagliari, Genoa – Napoli at 20:45 CET. Many teams are not fully settled as the transfer window has not yet closed; This leaves some practitioners unsatisfied. However, many of the new faces already under contract are expected to go straight into the starting eleven at their new clubs.
Major changes await in the defense department at Como. A trio of new players will form the starting line-up, especially with English Premier League experience ex-Chelsea centre-back Trevo Saloba. Notably, Salopa is one of six English players to make the trip to Serie A this summer.
Championship contenders Inter have already signed two of those six Englishmen — John Stones and Jed Spence. In this case, Jedd Spence, who has replaced Denzel Dumfries at right-back at the San Siro from Tottenham, is the only confirmed starter.
Juventus rely on ex-Tottenham players Guglielmo Vicario will be the netminder and Randall Kolo Mwani is expected to control the game in the terminal attack. Once they join, the basic structure of the team in Turin may change.
Many new faces in Milan too: Mario Gila in defence, Diego Moreira on the left wing, and Gonzalo Ramos on the wing. All three are predicted to add three essential features: lateral stability, lateral flow, and goal-scoring power, respectively.
Nouvel Molina and Rodrigo Mora are expected to be included in the regular starting eleven for Rome. Meanwhile, Fiorentina will replace half of last season's starting line-up and plan to field six new players in total.
One important thing to note amid these previews — exchanges are open until September 1. So the first few weeks in the picture list will see the teams find their best balance, and in some places the starting eleven will change. The coaches' strategic choices, the immediate impact of the new signings, and the utility of the offseason — all will be revealed in the opening week.
Freshness is guaranteed in the dug-out as well. Many teams have new coaches; Their philosophies of formation, pressure and movement without the ball will be reflected in the teams first few matches. Matches like Inter – Monza and Udinese – Como on Saturday will be the perfect platform to test the impact of the new signings. Genoa – Napoli and Parma – Cagliari clashes will also form the first challenges during the night.
To sum it up, the start of Serie A 2026–27 will be a two-pronged battle of “new faces vs old influence”. Who sets the tone early on and how the new signings make an immediate impact — that's the big question this weekend.
What happens next
Engier and Monza teams will have a chance to see their performance as they use new signings in the opening race. Also, before the end of the transfer window, teams are trying to set up their squads completely, which could affect the progress of the season.
