In depth
Serie A table 2026-27
Key takeaways
- The Serie A table ranks 20 clubs by points, awarding three per victory and one per draw across 38 games each.
- Clubs level on points in Serie A are separated by the order set in the league rules, and the key under the table shows it.
- The bottom three clubs in Serie A are relegated to Serie B each season, and three Serie B clubs come up in their place.
- A 20:45 Italian kick-off is 20:45 WAT, 19:45 GMT, 21:45 SAST and 22:45 EAT while Italy is on winter time, and an hour earlier for African viewers while Italy is on summer time.
- Victor Osimhen became the first African player to win the Serie A top scorer award with 26 league goals for Napoli in 2022-23.
The Serie A table ranks the 20 clubs in Italy's top division by points, with three for each victory and one for each draw, over 38 games each from August to May. The live Serie A standings above (the soccer log, as South African readers call a league table) show position, played, won, drawn, lost, goals for and against, goal difference, points and form, and they refresh after every match.
Reading an Italian league table is a little like reading the queue at a Lagos filling station, because the car further back that has not been served yet may still finish ahead of the ones in front. Below you will find what each zone earns, how Serie A splits clubs level on points, the kick-off times in four African time zones, and the players from our five countries worth following through the Calcio season.
What Do the Colours on the Serie A Table Mean?
The colours mark what each finishing place earns, with the Champions League places at the top, the European places below them, and the three relegation places at the foot. First place takes the Scudetto, the Italian title. The key under the table shows the places on offer each season. At the bottom, three clubs drop to Serie B and three come up, which keeps the relegation battle alive deep into May.
How Are the Serie A Standings Decided When Clubs Are Level?
When clubs finish level on points, the league rules set the order, and the key under the table shows it. One note for anyone reading old tables: Serie A has given three points for a win only since 1994-95, and a win was worth two before that, so totals from the 1980s are not comparable with today's.
How Often Does the Italy League Table Update, and Where Are the Home and Away Tables?
The table updates itself after every result, and the deeper tables sit one click away. The Serie A hub carries the clubs and their squads, Serie A fixtures lists every coming match with its kick-off time, and Serie A results holds the scores that move the standings. Top scorers, assists and the home and away table live under Serie A stats. The home and away table shows how each club has done on its own ground and away from it. The Premier League, La Liga and Champions League tables follow the same layout.
What Time Do Serie A Matches Kick Off in WAT, GMT, SAST and EAT?
A 20:45 Italian kick-off lands at a sensible hour for a viewing centre or a phone on the way home. While Italy is on winter time, that is 20:45 WAT in Lagos, 19:45 GMT in Accra, 21:45 SAST in Johannesburg and 22:45 EAT in Nairobi and Kampala. When Italy moves its clocks forward for summer time, the same game starts an hour earlier for all of us: 19:45 WAT, 18:45 GMT, 20:45 SAST and 21:45 EAT. Every fixture in the list carries all four times, so fans watching in Kampala bars or on betting shop screens in Nairobi never have to do the sum.
How Do You Read GD, Pts and Games in Hand on the Italian Serie A Table?
The labels across the top read the same in every league, and the one that catches people most often is Pld, the games played. A club whose match was moved for a European tie or the Coppa Italia can sit below its true place for a few weeks, so check the games in hand before you celebrate or worry. GD is goals scored minus goals conceded, Pts decides the order, and the form column shows recent results as W, D or L. The glossary below covers the Italian words as well.
| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| Pos | Position in the table |
| Pld | Matches played |
| W, D, L | Matches won, drawn and lost |
| GF, GA | Goals for and goals against |
| GD | Goal difference: goals for minus goals against |
| Pts | Points earned: three per victory and one per draw |
| Form | Recent results shown as W, D or L |
| Games in hand | Matches a club still has to play compared with the clubs around it |
| Scudetto | The Serie A title |
| Calcio | The Italian word for football |
Where Do African Players Fit in the Serie A Standings?
Nigeria has a strong link through the defining season of 2022-23, when Napoli won their first league title in 33 years. Victor Osimhen scored 26 league goals that season and became the first African to win the Serie A top scorer award. Ademola Lookman then scored a hat-trick as Atalanta beat Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in the 2024 Europa League final in Dublin. Read each zone by asking what it means for the Nigerians in that squad.
Ghana's link runs through Sulley Muntari, part of the Inter side that won the Serie A, Coppa Italia and Champions League treble in 2009-10, and through Kwadwo Asamoah, who played for Juventus from 2012 to 2020 during their nine straight titles from 2011-12 to 2019-20. Kenya's link is McDonald Mariga, who made his Champions League debut for Inter against Chelsea on 16 March 2010 and is the only Kenyan to win the competition. South African and Ugandan readers can follow those same eras and clubs, Napoli, Inter and Juventus, in the evening slot: while Italy is on winter time, a 20:45 Italian start is 21:45 SAST in Johannesburg and 22:45 EAT in Kampala, and the squad lists on the hub show the African players at each club.
