Inter Milan will host Napoli at the Giuseppe-Meazza on Saturday, 5 September 2026, in a highly anticipated Serie A meeting between the last two champions of Italy.
The match, which forms part of the third round of fixtures, will kick off at 16:00 GMT. Both sides have major ambitions for the new campaign, although their opening results have taken different paths.
Inter have made a perfect start as defending champions, beating Monza 4-1 before securing a 1-0 victory away to Cagliari. The Nerazzurri have made their title intentions clear and will be aiming to maintain their early momentum in front of their home supporters.
Napoli began the season with a win against Genoa but suffered a 2-1 home defeat by Como in their next match. With Massimiliano Allegri now in charge, the Partenopei will be looking for greater consistency as they attempt to challenge near the top of the table.
