League runners-up Inter Milan travel to promoted Benevento while Atalanta, who finished third, are away at fourth-placed Lazio, those two matches a week later because of their European involvement.

The opening weekend also sees Roma away at Hellas Verona, Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s AC Milan hosting Bologna and Napoli making the trip to Palermo.

Both showdowns between Juve and Inter fall in 2021: 17 January in Milan and 16 May in Turin, the latter coming a week before the league is scheduled to end.
