The2022–23 Serie A (known as theSerie ATIM for sponsorship reasons) was the 121st season of top-tier Italianfootball, the 91st in around-robin tournament, and the 13th since its organization under an own league committee, theLega Serie A.[2]Napoli won the title with five matches remaining after a 1–1 draw againstUdinese at theDacia Arena on 4 May 2023.[3][4]
Napoli's title was their third league title in club history, and their first sinceDiego Maradona led the club to their previous title in1990 — bringing an end to their 33-yearScudetto drought.AC Milan, the defending champions, finished in fourth place.
Napoli's title also marked the first time sinceRoma in2001 that a club other than AC Milan,Inter Milan orJuventus had won the Serie A title.
This year would mark the return of playoff matches for the first time since2005. If the season ends with two teams tied at the top of the league standings, those teams would play at a neutral site to determine the title winner. The match will have noextra time, and will instead go directly to apenalty shoot-out should the teams be tied after regulation. Head-to-head will still will used as a tiebreaker elsewhere on the board.[5]
TheLega Serie A in February announced their intention to run a tournament in theUnited States during the2022 FIFA World Cup, consisting of players who were not called up to play for themen's national team. The unusual scheduling of the World Cup inQatar forced many leagues to interrupt their seasons for weeks, so the Serie A saw this as an opportunity to bolster its image abroad while keeping its players active.[6] The idea received mixed feedback, and was ultimately cancelled by the league due to logistical and funding issues.[7]
In January 2023, the Serie A deducted 15 points fromJuventus after an investigation by theFIGC accused the club of manipulating their balancing sheets to show false gains of around 60m euros. Months later in April, Italy's highest court ordered the case to be re-examined, and the points were restored. The original ruling was upheld—though this time resulting in Juventus being docked 10 points—in May 2023.[8]
On 28 July 2023,UEFA released a statement confirming Juventus has violated finance regulations.[9] Consequently, Juventus faced penalties including exclusion from the2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League.[10]
Cremonese returned to theSerie A for the first time in 26 years—their longest absence from the top league in history.Lecce returned after two years.Monza were promoted for the first time in the club's history, making them the 67th team to play at the highest level of Italian football.
Cagliari were relegated to theSerie B after six years, whileVenezia were relegated after only one.Genoa were relegated after 15 seasons, thus ending the club's longest consecutive run in the top league.
This was the first season since the2003–04 campaign without any representation from thearchipelagos of Italy (teams located onSardinia orSicily) in the Serie A.
