The Italian Serie A is considered one of the most competitive and best league competitions in the world.
This will be its 122nd edition when the first round of matches kicks off on 20th August 2023 this summer.
The 2023/2024 season will see 20 teams battle it out for various league positions.
Spezia, Cremonese, and Sampdoria were relegated from Serie A after spending three, one, and eleven years respectively in the top flight.
They were replaced by Frosinone, Genoa, and Cagliari — who are the newly promoted Serie A teams for the 2023/24 season. Frosinone returned to Serie A after an absence of four years, while Genoa and Cagliari both returned after one year of absence.
These three aforementioned sides gained promotion from Serie B, the second tier of Italian football.
