The 1xBet platform offers users all the latest information about the league and betting markets for the 2026/27 season, including Serie A matches.
On the page, bettors can view the fixtures for upcoming matches and the current odds. The Serie A match schedule is updated as fixtures and kick-off times are confirmed. This allows bettors in Albania to preview upcoming matches and plan their Serie A betting in advance.
Serie A 2026/27 Season
Serie A is the top-tier Italian football league and is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious and competitive leagues in the world. The championship itself runs from August through May of the following year.
Twenty Italian clubs are participating in the 2026/27 Serie A season. The competition follows its usual league structure, with several changes affecting the season schedule and match procedures.
One of these changes concerns the international breaks. The September and October windows have been combined into one longer break, while the breaks in November and March have been retained for this season.
How the Serie A Format Works
The Serie A format follows a traditional round-robin system. The competition features 20 teams, each of which plays 38 matches. There are 10 matches in a single round, so the total number of matches for the entire season is 380. Each team has its own schedule. Under this schedule, each club plays 19 matches at home and the other 19 away.
Points and Serie A Standings
Teams earn points for each match, depending on the outcome.
Match Result | Number of Points |
Wins | 3 |
Draws | 1 |
Defeats | 0 |
All results contribute to the Serie A standings. Based on these standings, the Italian league champion will be determined. The Serie A table also determines European qualification places and relegation positions.
Serie A Title, European Qualification, and Relegation
A team’s position in the final standings determines its future placement. The outcome of the Serie A season determines:
The Serie A champion.
Qualification for the UEFA Champions League league phase, according to the season's allocation and final league positions.
European qualification for teams that finish in the relevant positions.
The clubs that finish in the relegation positions.
Usually, the three teams with the lowest standings are relegated to the second division.
Qualification for UEFA Competitions
Teams that finish high in the standings can secure Serie A European qualification. These include the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Europa League, and the UEFA Conference League. The number of qualification places depends on UEFA's allocation for the season, while individual clubs qualify according to their final league position and the applicable competition rules.
Relegation from Serie A
Serie A relegation takes place immediately after the end of the season. Typically, this involves the teams that finish in the bottom three positions. They will play in Serie B the following season.
If teams finish level on points around the relegation line, the applicable tie-break or play-off rules determine the final outcome.

Popular Serie A Betting Markets
For players from Albania, the 1xBet platform offers an extensive selection of Serie A betting markets. The opportunity to place football betting wagers on Italian teams becomes available well before the event itself begins. Serie A odds may vary before kick-off and during live betting.

Match Result 1X2
The Serie A 1X2 bet is considered one of the simplest and easiest betting options to understand:
1 – home win; the home team must score more goals;
X – draw; the teams score the same number of goals;
2 – away win; based on the result of the match, the away team scores more goals.
Odds are set according to the principle that the more likely an outcome is, the lower the odds.
Double Chance
With a Serie A double chance bet, the bettor covers two possible outcomes with a single wager. The 1X option means a home team win or a draw, X2 means an away team win or a draw, and 12 means a win by either the first or second team. In these bets, all other outcomes result in a loss.
Over/Under Goals
Total goals refers to bets placed on the total number of goals scored in a match. With Serie A over under bets, there is no need to predict the exact score.
The betting line can include different Over/Under options. For example, an Over 2.5 bet wins if three or more goals are scored, while an Under 2.5 bet wins if the match ends with two goals or fewer.
Both Teams to Score
When betting on Serie A BTTS, the key is to predict whether both teams will score or if one team will end the match with a scoreless result. If you select both teams to score/yes, the bet wins if both teams score at least one goal. If you select both teams to score/no, the bet wins if at least one team scores 0.
Football Handicap
In the betting line, Asian handicap and European handicap refer to wagers where a virtual advantage or deficit is applied to a team and added to the actual match result. In Serie A handicap betting, the adjusted result is used after a virtual advantage or deficit is applied to one team.
Corners, Cards, and Player Markets
The betting line offers the opportunity to place bets on statistical data or individual players. For example, you can bet on whether a player will score a goal or receive a yellow or red card, where such markets are offered. Player bets only apply to the conditions stated for the selected market. Serie A corners betting also allows wagers on the total number of corners.
