After the draw was conducted on Friday, Serie A have now also announced the dates and times for the first five rounds. AC Milan, being the reigning champions, will kick off the season on August 13.
Due to the winter World Cup, which will take place in Qatar, the season will start a bit earlier than usual. Milan will face Udinese at home in the first round and that game has been given an 18:30 CEST kick-off time, to be played on Saturday the 13th.
There are two more Saturday games for the Rossoneri in the first five rounds (Bologna and the derby vs. Inter), which also includes a mid-week round. You can take a look at the full details below.
Milan-Udinese: Saturday 13/8 18:30
Atalanta-Milan: Sunday 21/8 20:45
Milan-Bologna: Saturday 27/8 20:45
Sassuolo-Milan: Tuesday 30/8 18:30
Milan-Inter: Saturday 3/9 18:00
In the meantime, Milan are working on the renewals of Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara. Once that is done, the mercato will be unlocked and the Rossoneri will look to improve the squad compared to last season, keen on defending the title.
But.. The question is when will Maldini and Massara renew? 🤔
