Serie A 2025-26 Matchday 1: Schedule, fixtures, how to watch on DAZN

The brand-new Serie A season kick off this weekend, and for 2025-26, you can catch all the action on DAZN. 

DAZN is the new home for Italy's top flight, where you can watch every match - that's 380 games - live across the campaign, beginning with all the action from matchday one. 

The opening fixtures see reigning champions Napoli, with new signing Kevin De Bruyne, begin their defence at newly promoted Sassuolo, who are back in the big time after just one season away. 

Here's the full schedule for Matchday 1 of the Serie A season, plus how to watch all the action live on DAZN. 

Things to watch out for this weekend 

Kevin De Bruyne's Serie A debut will take centre stage following his move from Manchester City. He'll link up with international teammate Romelu Lukaku in what promises to be one of the league's most dangerous attacking pairings. 

Max Allegri has returned to Milan, and they will also face promoted opposition in their opener, when they host Cremonese, with new recruit Luka Modric expected to play a part. 

Elsewhere, Christian Chivu takes charge of his league game at Inter against Torino, while there's a classic feel to Juventus' opener when they entertain Parma. 

Roma also begin a new era under Gian Piero Gasperini, who has taken charge of the club following a decade at Atalanta. They begin at home to Bolonga on Saturday evening.
