Every Italian Champion Since 1898, and Who Has Won the Most Serie A Titles

Most Serie A titles by club

Lega Serie A's roll of honor matches our count: Juventus 36, Inter 21 and AC Milan 19, together 76 of the 122 titles, 62 percent. Genoa won nine, the last in 1923-24, and Torino, Bologna and Pro Vercelli seven each; Napoli have four, Roma three, Lazio and Fiorentina two, and Cagliari, Casale, Hellas Verona, Novese and Sampdoria one each. In Europe, AC Milan have seven of Italy's 12 Champions League titles, Inter three and Juventus two.

Two titles were revoked and never reassigned: Torino's in 1926-27, for match fixing in a derby against Juventus, and Juventus's in 2004-05, after the Calciopoli scandal. Juventus also finished first in 2005-06, 15 points clear of Inter, but were placed last and relegated, and the FIGC declared Inter champions on July 26, 2006. On the field, Juventus finished first 38 times.

Since 1929-30, Juventus have also finished second most often, 18 times, ahead of Inter's 17; AC Milan and Roma have 14 each, Roma with only three titles. Six clubs have been second in Serie A without ever winning it, Parma twice; Perugia did it unbeaten in 1978-79, with 11 wins and 19 draws, three points behind AC Milan.

Serie A winners list: every Italian champion since 1898

Serie A began as a single national league in 1929-30 with 18 clubs, and has had 20 clubs and 38 games since 2004-05, with three points for a win since 1994-95. No title was contested in 1943-44 and 1944-45, and in 1945-46 northern and southern groups fed an eight-club final round.

Serie A era vs. the early Italian championships

The first championship, on May 8, 1898, was a one-day knockout tournament in Turin for three local clubs and Genoa, who won it. Until 1929, regional rounds led to a national final or final round. Genoa were awarded the 1914-15 title after World War I halted the season, and in 1921-22 the richest clubs broke away to play their own championship, so both winners, Novese and Pro Vercelli, are recognized.

Those 28 early titles were spread more widely. Genoa and Pro Vercelli won 16 of them, and Juventus, Inter and AC Milan seven, 25 percent. Since 1929-30 the big three have won 69 of 94, 73 percent, and only 12 clubs have been champions, Juventus 34 times.

Serie A winners by decade: how concentrated the title is

The big three won all 10 titles of the 2010s, nine of them Juventus's, and nine of 10 in the 1950s, but one of eight in the 1940s, when Torino won five. The 1960s and the 1980s were the most open decades of the Serie A era, with six champions each, among them Cagliari in 1969-70 and Hellas Verona in 1984-85.

Since 2001-02, Juventus, Inter and AC Milan have won 22 of the 24 titles awarded; Napoli won the other two, in 2022-23 and 2024-25.

Serie A record points and the best champions per game

Juventus hold the points record, 102 in 2013-14, with 33 wins, three draws and two defeats. Because seasons ran from 30 to 40 games and wins were worth two points until 1993-94, we rescored every champion at three points a win per game played: that 2013-14 team leads with 2.68 a game, ahead of Inter's 2.55 in 2006-07 and Juventus's 2.50 in 2017-18.

The best of the two-points era is Inter's 1988-89 team, at 2.47, with 26 wins in 34 games. Last season's Inter, at 2.29, rank joint 21st among the 93 champions crowned from a single table. Only AC Milan in 1991-92 and Juventus in 2011-12 went a title season unbeaten. Rescored, the 1963-64 title would have gone to Inter, and 1935-36, 1950-51 and 1966-67 would have ended level on points.

Back-to-back Serie A titles: Juventus's nine in a row

Juventus's nine straight titles, from 2011-12 to 2019-20, are the longest run in Italian league history, against La Liga's record of five. Three clubs have won five in a row: Juventus from 1930-31 to 1934-35, Torino from 1942-43 to 1948-49, across the two war years without a championship, and Inter from 2005-06 to 2009-10, starting with the title awarded after Calciopoli. In all, the champion has retained the title 41 times in 118 chances.

Closest Serie A title races and how ties are settled

Fifteen of the 94 titles since 1929-30 were won by a single point, the latest Napoli's 82 to Inter's 81 in 2024-25. Only once did the top two finish level: Bologna and Inter both had 54 points in 1963-64, and Bologna won the playoff 2-0 in Rome on June 7, 1964. Inter's 22-point margin in 2006-07 is the widest; per game, Torino's 16 points in 1947-48, 24 at three for a win, were wider still.

A tie for first in 2026-27 would again be settled by a one-game playoff at the home of the club ranked higher on head-to-head results, then goal difference, going straight to penalties if level after 90 minutes, unless one of the two is in a European final, under the FIGC's rules for the season.

Longest Serie A title droughts

AC Milan waited 44 years between titles, from 1907 to 1950-51, and Roma 41, from 1941-42 to 1982-83; Napoli's 33-year wait ended in 2022-23. Among this season's Serie A clubs, these former champions have waited longest:

• Genoa: 1923-24, 100 seasons ago
• Bologna: 1963-64, 62 seasons
• Fiorentina: 1968-69, 57 seasons
• Cagliari: 1969-70, 56 seasons
• Torino: 1975-76, 50 seasons
• Lazio: 1999-2000, 26 seasons
• Roma: 2000-01, 25 seasons

Serie A table 2026-27: Inter and Lazio level at the top

After eight matchdays, 80 of the season's 380 games, Inter and Lazio lead the Serie A table with 22 points from seven wins and a draw, Inter ahead on goal difference, +13 to +11. Roma and AC Milan have 18, and those four are unbeaten; Juventus are seventh with 14, and Napoli, last season's runners-up, 10th with 11.

From 1995-96 to 2025-26, leaving out the two Calciopoli seasons, the club with the most points after eight games, alone or level, went on to win the title 16 times in 29 seasons; last season Napoli and Roma led and Inter won.

How this was built: the final table of every Serie A season, 1929-30 to 2025-26, from its Wikipedia page (for example 2025-26), checked against the page's results grid and, from 1995-96, the 11,114 results of football-data.co.uk, which also date each title. Champions since 1898 match Lega Serie A's roll of honor and Wikipedia's list; where a table and its grid disagreed near the top, twice, a third source decided. Clubs level on points share second place in 1947-48, 1971-72 and 1977-78, and 2004-05 has no runner-up. The 2026-27 table uses ESPN's results, which match its standings. See our methodology.
