The 2013–14 Serie A (known as the Serie A TIM for sponsorship reasons) is the 112th Italian football league and 82nd in a round-robin tournament and the 4th since its organization under a league committee separate from Serie B. It will begin on 24 August 2013 and conclude on 18 May 2014. As in the previous years, Nike will provide the official ball for all matches, with a new Nike Incyte Serie A model to be used throughout the season for all matches. Juventus are the defending champions.

A total of 20 teams will contest the league, comprising 17 sides from the 2012–13 season and three promoted from the 2012–13 Serie B. Pescara finished a one year cameo appearance and returned to Serie B whereas Siena and Palermo concluded 2 and 9 years respectively in the top flight.

Relegated teams will be replaced by Serie B champion Sassuolo, runner-up Hellas Verona and play-off winner Livorno. Hellas Verona return to Serie A after 11 years, Livorno after 4 seasons whereas Sassuolo will make their Serie A debut.

For the first time in Serie A history, there will be 5 derbies among teams of the same city: Milan (Internazionale and Milan), Turin (Juventus and Torino), Rome (Lazio and Roma), Genoa (Genoa and Sampdoria) and Verona (Chievo and Hellas Verona).

Rules for classification: 1st points; 2nd head-to-head points; 3rd head-to-head goal difference; 4th goal difference; 5th number of goals scored; 6th public draw.
(Head-to-head record is applied for clubs with the same amount of points only once all matches between said clubs have been played)[16].
(C) = Champion; (R) = Relegated; (P) = Promoted; (E) = Eliminated; (O) = Play-off winner; (A) = Advances to a further round.
Only applicable when the season is not finished:
(Q) = Qualified to the phase of tournament indicated; (TQ) = Qualified to tournament, but not yet to the particular phase indicated; (RQ) = Qualified to the relegation tournament indicated; (DQ) = Disqualified from tournament.

Positions by round

The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. In order to preserve chronological evolvements, any postponed matches are not included to the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for matchday 29 (Sampdoria vs Internazionale), but then postponed and played between days 30 and 31, it will be added to the standings for day 30.

If there is a color without a number, it means that the team is at least qualified for that round.
