The Serie A Awards (Italian: Premi Lega Serie A) are awarded by the Lega Serie A to the best footballers of each Serie A football season.

They were first awarded at the end of the 2018–19 Serie A season.[1] [2]

History and regulations

The Serie A Awards are awarded under the categories of Best Goalkeeper, Best Defender, Best Midfielder, Best Striker, Best Young Player (Under-23), and Most Valuable Player of a particular Serie A, Coppa Italia, and Supercoppa Italiana season.

The ranking for each category is determined through a weighted calculation elaborated by Ernst & Young, based on statistical reporting by Stats Perform and Opta Sports and supported by data tracking provided by Netco Sports.

In the 2021–22 season, the Most Valuable Field award for the best football pitch and the Most Valuable Coach were introduced.[3] [4]

In the 2023–24 season, the Fair Play Moment of the Season was introduced.[5]
