The 2020–21 Serie A (known as the Serie A TIM for sponsorship reasons) was the 119th season of top-tier Italian football, the 89th in a round-robin tournament, and the 11th since its organization under an own league committee, the Lega Serie A. Inter Milan won the title with four matches remaining after second-placed Atalanta drew against Sassuolo.
Inter Milan's title was their 19th in club history and their first in 11 years. It ended Juventus's run of nine consecutive league titles, as they finished in fourth place, 13 points behind Inter Milan.
Benevento and Crotone were the two teams directly promoted from Serie B—both after a two-year absence.
On 20 August 2020, Spezia won a playoff match to earn their first promotion to Serie A; they became the 66th team to participate in the Italian top-tier league.
A day following the Napoli–Genoa match on 27 September 2020, Genoa announced that 14 of their players tested positive for COVID-19. The Genoa–Torino match scheduled for 3 October 2020 was thereby postponed.
On 3 October 2020, two Napoli players, Piotr Zieliński and Eljif Elmas, tested positive for COVID-19, and after being denied authorization to leave Naples by the Local Health Authority (ASL), Napoli blocked their players' departure for their match in Turin against Juventus. The league decided not to postpone the match scheduled for 4 October 2020. On the day of the game, Juventus took to the field despite the absence of their opponents, who were quarantining in Naples. Juventus were awarded a 3–0 victory by default and Napoli were docked one point as the Disciplinary Commission ruled Napoli did not follow the country's COVID-19 pandemic protocol. Following a successful appeal by Napoli to the CONI Sports Guarantee Board, these penalties were overturned on 22 December 2020. The match was eventually recovered on 7 April 2021, more than six months after its originally scheduled date.
