The Serie A schedule remains in disarray after the TAR tribunal failed to deliver a ruling on the postponed Roma vs. Lazio derby, leaving five crucial matches—including those involving Milan, Juventus, Napoli, and Como—without confirmed dates or kickoff times. The tribunal kicked the matter back to local authorities and the Lega Serie A, urging them to reach an agreement independently.
This latest delay adds to what has been a week of total chaos for Italian football. With just two rounds left in the season, 10 teams have been left in limbo, unsure when or where they'll play. The root of the problem? The final two matchdays must kick off simultaneously to preserve competitive integrity, especially with Champions League qualification still up for grabs. That means Roma vs. Lazio, Como vs. Parma, Genoa vs. Milan, Juventus vs. Fiorentina, and Pisa vs. Napoli all need to be scheduled at the same time.
The derby clash at the Stadio Olimpico is the main sticking point. The stadium shares a complex with the Foro Italico, which is hosting the Italian Open tennis men's singles final on Sunday at 17:00 CEST. Local authorities fear a dangerous crowd overlap and have ordered the match moved to Monday at 20:45 CEST. The Lega Serie A, however, insists on a Sunday 12:30 CEST slot, leading to a standoff that has now been passed back to the Prefect and league officials.
As the meeting takes place tonight, time is running out for a resolution. For fans and teams alike, the uncertainty is far from ideal—especially with so much at stake in the season's final stretch.
