Serie A 2025-26 — Season in Context
Inter Milan's Dynasty
Inter Milan have dominated Serie A in recent seasons. After Simone Inzaghi transformed the club into a title machine, they enter 2025-26 as defending champions with a squad full of world-class talent. The Derby della Madonnina against AC Milan remains the centrepiece of the Italian season.
Napoli's Resurgence
After winning the Scudetto in 2022-23 under Spalletti, Napoli rebuilt under new management. Their return to form in 2025-26 — with Victor Osimhen (or his replacement) leading the attack — has made them genuine title contenders once again. The south of Italy is buzzing.
The VAR Controversy
Serie A remains engulfed in VAR controversy season after season. Penalty decisions, offside calls and subjective refereeing have all generated headlines in 2025-26. Italian football's love-hate relationship with technology shows no signs of resolution.
The WC2026 Impact
With the World Cup in the summer of 2026, Serie A's Italian and international stars are playing with an extra edge — World Cup squad places on the line in every game. Roberto Mancini's Italy need every Azzurri to be at their best to qualify and compete in 2026.
