The 2023–24 Serie A (known as the Serie A TIM for sponsorship reasons or Serie A Made in Italy for abroad naming) 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. Napoli were the defending champions, having won their third title in the previous season.

On 22 April 2024, Inter Milan secured a 20th league title with five matches to spare, following a 2–1 victory against city rivals AC Milan. Inter thus earned the right to add a second golden star to their logo.[2]

Teams

Spezia, Cremonese, and Sampdoria were relegated after three, one, and eleven years respectively in the top flight. They were replaced by Frosinone, Genoa, and Cagliari. Frosinone returned to the top flight after four years of absence, whilst Genoa and Cagliari both returned after one year of absence.
