Serie A, officially known as Serie A TIM for sponsorship reasons, is Italy’s top-tier professional football league and one of the most storied competitions in global football. Founded in 1898, it features 20 clubs battling from August to May in a 38-match season for the prestigious Scudetto title, UEFA Champions League qualification, and to avoid relegation to Serie B.
