2001–02 Serie A

In the 2001-02 season, the Serie A, the major football Italian professional league, was composed by 18 teams, for the 14th consecutive time from season 1988-89.

The first two teams qualified directly to the UEFA Champions League, teams ending in the 3rd and 4th places had to play Champions League qualifications, teams ending in the 5th and 6th places qualified to the UEFA Cup (another spot was given to the winner of Coppa Italia), while the last four teams were to be relegated in second division.

Juventus won its 26th title on the final day of the season after original leaders Internazionale lost 4-2 away to Lazio, and with it their chance at winning their first scudetto since 1989.

This season also featured ChievoVerona's "miracle". The club, newly promoted to Serie A for the first time, were top of the table for six weeks early on in the season. However after the Christmas break they hit some bad form and finished the season in 5th.
