Serie A gets underway at 5pm UK time on Saturday August 20, when Udinese travel to Stadio Olimpico to take on Roma. However, this fixture could be moved to the Friday if the Giallorossi make that request, as they’ll be in Champions League action on Tuesday or Wednesday in the midweeks preceding and following the fixture.
That match is followed at 19.45 by the clash between Juventus and Fiorentina in Turin, with Milan–Torino the late game on the Sunday.
Palermo welcome Sassuolo on Monday 22 to round off the first week of fixtures.
The following week, Juventus’ trip to Lazio has been moved to 5pm on the Saturday, followed by Napoli-Milan at 19.45, with Inter-Palermo as Sunday’s late fixture.
