I could not find the appropriate thread for this question so I will put it here.

What time will the games be starting this season. From looking at Week 1 times there are still 2 games on Saturday and the rest on Sunday. But in the past most games were played on Sunday afternoon (Sunday morning over here) and then one feature match on Sunday night. Week 1 had only one game on Sunday afternoon and the rest of the games on Sunday night.

Does anyone know if this will for good or if they will just be doing it for the first few weeks?

Thanks

I think it is only the week 1 fixtures that kick off later on the Sunday. There will be one or two games on the Saturday as usual, and the one on the Sunday night. I know that for next season they are adjusting times slightly for the night matches so they kick off at 19:45 rather than 19:30, and the 17:00 match will be at 18:00, but I think this is a one off, if it is not a missprint.

Thanks for the quick reply Jay.

Looking at this website called soccerway.com, it shows that the first two weeks will be like that. Look at this link: Soccerway Serie A Schedule

My theory is that it is still far too hot to play a 90 min game in the dead heat of the afternoon so for the first few weeks they will be playing most games a bit later.

Yeah it makes sense, some places in Italy are extremely hot at this time of the year and generally it is hot.
