Coppa Italia Predictions

What makes the Coppa Italia so unforgettable?

What makes it more than just another tournament? It’s the only domestic competition where Serie A titans clash with Serie B and Serie C underdogs in a single-elimination format that leaves no room for mercy.

It’s where Fiorentina can stun Napoli, where Cremonese can outlast Roma, and where dreams either soar or shatter in 90 minutes. The Coppa Italia is not just a cup—it’s a crucible of passion, pride, and unpredictability. It’s where the mighty fall and the overlooked rise. It’s where Italian football bares its soul.

How does Coppa Italia work?

The tournament begins with 44 teams: 20 from Serie A, 20 from Serie B, and 4 from Serie C. The first round kicks off with lower-tier clubs battling for survival. By the Round of 16, Serie A giants like Inter Milan, Juventus, and AC Milan enter the fray.

From there, it’s win or go home. No group stages. No second legs until the semifinals. Just knockout football, pure and ruthless. Semifinals are played over two legs, testing depth and resilience. The final? One match. One stadium. One champion. The format is simple. The drama is anything but.

When is each stage?

The Coppa Italia begins in August with the preliminary round. The first and second rounds follow swiftly, setting the stage for the Round of 16 in early January. Quarterfinals light up late January the following year.

Semifinals stretch across February and April, with two legs that often decide more than just the score, they decide legacies. Every month brings a new chapter. Every stage brings a new story.

Where to watch live?

You can stream every match live on Paramount+ in the U.S., Amazon Prime Video in select regions, and DAZN in Canada. Italian viewers can tune in via Mediaset and Italia 1.

Who has won Coppa Italia the most?

Juventus leads the pack with 15 Coppa Italia titles and 22 final appearances. Roma and Inter Milan follow with 9 titles each, while Lazio and Fiorentina have 7 and 6 respectively.

The 2025 final saw Bologna lift their third Coppa Italia trophy, defeating Fiorentina 2–1 in a match that reminded everyone: in this tournament, history is never safe. Every season rewrites the record books.
