Davide Massa is the referee assigned to Lazio-Napoli, while Atalanta-Roma is officiated by Michael Fabbri, and Inter-Bologna goes to Marco Guida.

Serie A will open in 2026 with its Week 18 fixtures, which run from Friday January 2 to Sunday January 4.

The Lega Serie A announced the referees who have been appointed to the various matches, along with those in the VAR booth.

All eyes are on Lazio following recent controversial decisions and their letter of protest, so the pressure is on Massa when he is put in charge of their game against reigning Champions of Italy Napoli on Sunday.

Another big match is between Atalanta and Roma, with Gian Piero Gasperini returning to visit his old club, and Fabbri is wielding the whistle in that tie.
