The Coppa Italia bracket has been drawn up for the 2026-27 season, with the possibility we could get an Inter vs. Milan derby in the semi-finals.
This tournament is scheduled like a tennis competition, with seeding and brackets dictating the way it will flow.
The top seeds are the teams who finished in the top eight of Serie A the previous season, so Inter, Napoli, Roma, Como, Milan, Juventus, Atalanta and Bologna.
Those sides wonβt enter until the Round of 16, with their fixtures automatically on home turf.
There are 44 teams going into the Coppa Italia, specifically all 20 from Serie A and Serie B, plus four promoted from Lega Pro.
Looking at the bracket, we could in theory get quarter-finals of Inter-Bologna and Como-Milan on one side, Roma-Juventus and Napoli-Atalanta on the other.
Only the semi-final is played over two legs, home and away, the others are one-off fixtures with the top seeded team given home advantage.
If it is level after 90 minutes, it goes straight to a penalty shoot-out, without extra time.
The bracket for the 2026-27 edition of the Coppa Italia
The first Serie A games of the new season will be Inter-Monza and Udinese-Como on August 22, but while the first five rounds are confirmed, a few doubts remain for Week 4.
The first matches will kick off on Saturday August 22 at 17.30 UK time (18.30 local), with reigning champions Inter hosting Monza and Udinese against Como.
There are still a few doubts, though, as some fixtures have asterisks because they could change depending on the Champions League and Europa League calendar.
*If Juventus play Europa League MD1 on Wednesday September 16, then Sassuolo-Juventus will be played on Saturday September 12 at 17.00 UK, and Lazio-Milan on Sunday September 13 at 19.45 UK.
If Milan play Europa League MD1 on September 16, then Lazio-Milan will be played on Saturday September 12 at 17.00 UK, and Sassuolo-Juventus on Sunday September 13 at 19.45 UK.
** Como-Parma, Napoli-Bologna and Torino-Roma could change based on the Champions League MD1 fixtures
