In recent years, an increasing number of talented British players are entering and succeeding in the Italian Serie A, one of which is the effect of globalization in football that brings about different styles and tactics within the league.

The first match, Atalanta versus Sassuolo, was just one of the marquee matchups that the public looked forward to. Expect every week that season to have high-profile matches from Milan, Juventus, Roma, Napoli, and more that will feature the talent of both Italian and British footballers. In the coming 2026/27 season, look forward to the renewed excitement that the BBC and Serie A will bring to football players and spectators across the United Kingdom.
