When do the Enilive Serie A seeds enter?

The 8 seeds will enter the tournament in December, starting from the round of 16:

  • Bologna
  • Napoli
  • Inter
  • Atalanta
  • Juventus
  • Roma
  • Fiorentina
  • Lazio
Possible derbies and crossovers in the draw

One of the main novelties of the new calendar is that potential derbies between Serie A teams (Inter-Milan, Roma-Lazio or Juventus-Torino) can only occur in the final, unlike what happened in the last edition when the Milan derby was played in the semi-finals.

The reigning champions Bologna, winners of the last edition against Milan, could start from the round of 16 with an evocative Emilian derby against Parma, with a possible challenge to the Rossoneri in the quarterfinals. Another possible crossover between two recent former finalists is that between Juventus and Atalanta – Juventus won in the 2023/24 edition – which could also take place in the quarterfinals.

Coppa Italia Frecciarossa 2025/26 final: when is it played?

The final of the Coppa Italia Frecciarossa 2025/26 will be held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Wednesday 13 May 2026.
