The 'scudetto' will be decided in a match if there is a draw

Important novelty in Serie A 2022-23: if two teams are tied at the top of the table: the title will be decided in one game and, if it ends tied, on penalties

Milan, reigning champion of Serie A

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) announced on Tuesday that, in the event of equal points between two teams at the top of the table, the title of Serie A champion will be decided through a match starting next season 2022-23.

If said match ends in a tie, the title will be decided through a penalty shootout. The playoff formula for the title was already in force in Serie Abut it was only applied once, in 1964, when Bologna beat Inter in Rome to claim their seventh and so far last Italian championship.

last season the ‘scudetto’ went to Milan, with 2 points more than Inter, 2nd. If there are 3 teams that are level on points at the top, their direct confrontations and their particular goal differences would apply. The first 2 would play the decisive match for the title.
