Serie A Standings Update — September 2026

The 2026-27 Serie A season has burst into life, and after two rounds of action the table is already telling a story. Inter Milan are defending their crown, but the competition looks fiercer than ever. Here’s the state of play as September begins.

Early Season Form

Inter Milan have started their title defence in ominous fashion. Simone Inzaghi’s side have picked up maximum points from their opening two games, with Lautaro Martínez already looking in devastating form. The Nerazzurri’s squad depth — strengthened further over the summer — looks like it could be the difference-maker over a long, grueling season.

Juventus are hot on their heels, though. The Bianconeri have also made a perfect start, and their summer business has addressed many of the weaknesses that cost them last season. The Matchday 3 showdown between Juventus and AC Milan — already published as our featured preview — could set the tone for the early title race.

AC Milan have had a mixed start. The Rossoneri picked up three points on Matchday 1 but were held on Matchday 2, leaving them playing catch-up already. With the San Siro derby coming up early in the season, Milan need to find consistency quickly.

The European Places

Outside the top three, Napoli, Atalanta, and Roma are all expected to challenge for European spots. Napoli’s rebuild under their new manager has been interesting to watch, while Atalanta’s trademark pressing game looks as effective as ever.

Roma, meanwhile, will be looking to build on last season’s top-four finish. With their experienced squad and a passionate Stadio Olimpico behind them, the Giallorossi could be the dark horses of this Serie A campaign.

Relegation Dogfight

At the bottom, it’s been a tough start for some of the newly promoted sides. Como, who defied expectations to finish in the top four last season, have found the going tougher this time around. But with 36 games still to play, there’s plenty of time for teams to turn things around.

The beauty of Serie A is that any team can beat any other on their day. Tactical battles, defensive solidity, and individual brilliance all play their part in what is arguably the most tactical league in Europe.
