2012–13 Serie A

The 2012–13 season features the return of Pescara, Torino, and Sampdoria, who were promoted back to Serie A after nineteen, three, and one years respectively. It is also Cagliari's first season out of Stadio Sant'Elia after more than 40 years, following its closure due to safety issues; as a replacement, the team agreed to renovate the Stadio Is Arenas located in Quartu Sant'Elena, in order to use it as its home venue for this season (Cagliari has ongoing plans to build its own brand-new stadium in the next few years). The fixtures were presented on 26 July in a lavish hour-long televised ceremony. ==Teams==
