Serie A 2025-26 Season Review: Inter Crowned Champions, Relegation Drama Unfolds

The 2025-26 Serie A season has drawn to a close, with Inter Milan celebrating their 21st Scudetto title. They secured a coveted spot in the Champions League alongside Napoli, Roma, and Como. Meanwhile, Verona, Pisa, and Cremonese have been relegated to Serie B.

The final matchday delivered some unexpected outcomes, most notably AC Milan’s surprising 2-1 defeat at home to Cagliari, which ultimately cost them a top-four finish and a place in the Champions League.

Inter had already mathematically secured the league title several weeks prior with games to spare. Napoli officially confirmed their Champions League qualification the week before the final round.

Following Sunday’s results, Como and Roma have joined Inter and Napoli in the Champions League. Como secured a decisive 4-1 victory against regional rivals Cremonese away from home, while Roma triumphed over Verona with a 2-0 win at the Stadio Bentegodi.

The Turin derby between Torino and Juventus commenced an hour later than scheduled due to disturbances among ultras. Regardless of the match’s outcome, Juventus had already secured their qualification for the Europa League, a competition in which AC Milan will also participate.

The three clubs demoted to Serie B for the next season are Pisa, Verona, and Jamie Vardy’s Cremonese.

The 2026-27 Serie A season is scheduled to kick off on the weekend of August 23, 2026. The official fixture list for the new campaign will be released on June 5, 2026.
