Defending champions of the Seria A, Juventus, will kick off their title defence against Cagliari, as the 2017/2018 Seria A season fixtures were released on Wednesday.
The new season, which kicks off on August 20, 2017, will be rounded up earlier than usual on May 20, 2018, to afford the Italian national team enough time to prepare for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
