The 2007–08 Coppa Italia was the 60th edition of the tournament. Fixtures were announced at 16:00 CET, July 25, 2007.^[1] The tournament began on August 14, 2007,^[2] and ended on May 24, 2008 with a single-match final to be played at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.^[3] For the fourth consecutive season, Roma and Internazionale were the finalists. Roma won the tournament by a score of 2–1 in the final.

The format of the 2007–08 Coppa, which was announced on June 28, 2007, is a major departure from the format used in previous years.^[4] The new format reduces the number of competitors to the 42 teams which will play in Serie A and Serie B for the 2007–08 season; no Serie C teams participated in the tournament. Also, the rather unusual two-leg final was eliminated.

Seedings and format

The format for pairings will be as follows:

First phase: one-leg fixtures
- First round: The bottom 24 seeds (19–42) are paired
- Second round: The 12 first round winners are paired
Second phase: one-leg fixtures
- 6 first phase winners and seeds 9–18 are paired
Third phase: two-leg fixtures
- Round of 16: 8 second phase winners are inserted into a bracket with seeds 1–8
- Quarterfinals and Semifinals: Two-leg fixtures with pairings based upon bracket
Final: one-leg fixture at neutral venue
