Serie A Week 23 is the first round in history to be planned with 10 games and 10 different kick-off times.

The matches run from Fiorentina-Siena at 17.30 GMT on Friday through to Juventus-Crotone on Monday at 19.45 GMT.

It’s a new record for Italian football, which traditionally used to have all the games at 15.00 local time on a Sunday, but started spreading them out with the advent of pay-per-view television.

This is not technically the first time all the games kick off at different times, as it had already happened in the 2019-20 season when some matches were played before the lockdown and others after.

However, that was due to an emergency situation forcing games to be postponed and had not been planned.

Week 23 is therefore the first time ever that Serie A has organised 10 differed kick-off times for a single round.
