Final Serie A Matchday Times Confirmed

Lega Serie A set five Matchday 38 games for the same 20:45 CEST kickoff on Sunday, May 24, after confirming the final-round schedule on May 18. The league grouped the matches involving the Champions League race and the relegation fight into one evening block. Milan host Cagliari, Roma visit Verona, Como visit Cremonese and Juventus visit Torino at that time, while Lecce host Genoa in the same slot. The scheduling decision fixes the final weekend of the 2025-26 Serie A season after earlier rounds left multiple positions unresolved. Lega Serie A’s fixtures page lists those five Sunday night matches together, with local kickoff times that correspond to 11:45 a.m. in the U.S. Eastern time zone. Italian media including Corriere della Sera and Goal said the simultaneous starts were designed to preserve competitive fairness among teams with the same standings interests. (italpress.com) ### Which matches were put into the shared Sunday night window? Sunday, May 24 has five matches at 20:45 CEST: Cremonese-Como, Lecce-Genoa, Milan-Cagliari, Torino-Juventus and Verona-Roma, according to Lega Serie A’s published schedule. Italpress, citing the league’s announcement, said those are the matches “that put survival and the Champions League on the line.” (en.legaseriea.it) Milan, Roma, Como and Juventus are the four clubs named in Italian reports as directly tied to the Champions League race in that final-slot grouping. Genoa and Lecce are included in the same block because the relegation picture is also still live. (italpress.com) ### Why were Milan, Roma, Juventus and Como aligned at the same time? Corriere della Sera reported that the league guaranteed “contemporaneity” for the Champions League race, meaning teams competing for the same objective would start together. Goal reported the same rationale after the league published the final dates and times. (corriere.it) The league itself did not add a long explanation on its fixtures page, but the published arrangement matches the standard Italian practice of synchronizing final-round games when clubs share the same classification stakes. Italpress said the schedule followed “the criterion of simultaneity of matches between teams with the same interest in the standings.” (corriere.it) ### What does the rest of the final weekend look like? Friday, May 22 opens the round with Fiorentina-Atalanta at 20:45 CEST. Saturday, May 23 follows with Bologna-Inter at 18:00 CEST and Lazio-Pisa at 20:45 CEST. Sunday, May 24 starts with Parma-Sassuolo at 15:00 CEST and Napoli-Udinese at 18:00 CEST before the five-match 20:45 CEST block. (italpress.com) That means the final round is split across three days rather than played entirely in one simultaneous window. ### Where can fans check the official timings? Lega Serie A’s fixtures-and-results page carries the official Matchday 38 listings for the 2025-26 season. (italpress.com) Club outlets have also begun reflecting the confirmed times; AC Milan’s schedule page and Milan-focused coverage both list Milan-Cagliari for Sunday, May 24 at 20:45 CEST. Sunday, May 24 is now the fixed date for the decisive Champions League and relegation games, with Milan, Juventus, Roma, Como, Lecce and Genoa all scheduled to start at 20:45 CEST.
