2013–14 Serie A
The 2013–14 Serie A (known as the Serie A TIM for sponsorship reasons) was the 112th season of top-tier Italian football, the 82nd in a round-robin tournament, and the 4th since its organization under a league committee separate from Serie B. The season began on 24 August 2013 and concluded on 18 May 2014. As in previous years, Nike provided the official ball for all matches with a new Nike Incyte model used throughout the season. Juventus were the defending champions, and successfully defended their title to win a third Serie A title in a  row. A total of 20 teams competed in the league: 17 sides from the 2012–13 season and three promoted from the 2012–13 Serie B campaign. Palermo, Pescara and Siena were each demoted from the top flight. They were replaced by Serie B champion Sassuolo, runner-up Hellas Verona and play-off winner Livorno. Hellas Verona returned to Serie A after an 11-year absence, Livorno after four seasons and this season marked Sassuolo's Serie A debut. For the first time in the competition's history, there were five derbies among teams from the same city: Milan (Internazionale and Milan ), Turin (Juventus and Torino), Rome (Lazio and Roma), Genoa (Genoa and Sampdoria), and Verona (Chievo and Hellas Verona).

Some matches may be played at Stadio Nereo Rocco in Trieste if Stadio Friuli's renovation is not finished. League table. <onlyinclude></onlyinclude> Positions by round. The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. In order to preserve chronological evolvements, any postponed matches were not included to the round at which they were originally scheduled, but  added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match was scheduled for matchday 29 (Sampdoria–Inter Milan), but then postponed and played between days 30 and 31, it was added to the standings for day 30. If there is a color without a number, it means that the team is at least qualified for that round.
