2023–24 Serie A

2023–24 Serie A

The 2023–24 Serie A (known as the Serie A TIM and Serie A Made in Italy for sponsorship reasons domestically and abroad, respectively) was the 122nd season of top-tier Italian football, the 92nd in a round-robin tournament, and the 14th since its organization under an own league committee, the Lega Serie A. Inter Milan won the title with five matches remaining after securing a 2–1 victory over city rivals AC Milan on 22 April 2024 in the iconic Derby della Madonnina.

Inter Milan's title was their 20th league title in club history, thus granting them the right to add a second golden star to their crest, symbolizing twenty league championships. Napoli were the defending champions, having won their third title in the previous season. Napoli finished the season in 10th place — the lowest finish for a defending Serie A champion since AC Milan in the 1996–97 season.
