Italian football is coming to Perth this August, and it's a once-in-a-lifetime event. For the first time ever, four of Italy's most iconic clubs — AC Milan, Inter, Juventus and Palermo — are leaving Europe to play at Optus Stadium in what promises to be one of the most spectacular sporting spectacles Perth has ever hosted.

Dubbed Calcio Italiano – Only in Perth, this extraordinary week of football brings together some of the most successful and widely supported clubs in world football for three blockbuster matches. In an Australian first, two of Serie A's greatest rivalries take centre stage: the Derby della Madonnina (AC Milan v Inter) and the Derby d'Italia (Juventus v Inter). This is history and rivalry on a global stage, and it's only happening in Perth.

The three matches are scheduled as follows:

• Wednesday, 5 August 2026 – AC Milan v Inter, Optus Stadium, 6:00pm AWST
• Saturday, 8 August 2026 – Juventus v Inter, Optus Stadium, 6:00pm AWST
• Tuesday, 11 August 2026 – Juventus v Palermo, Optus Stadium, 6:00pm AWST

Tickets are available now via Ticketmaster. Multi-match bundles are also on offer for fans wanting to catch more than one fixture — and with low availability already reported on some bundles, we recommend securing your seats early.

Calcio Italiano forms part of Western Australia's Winter of Unmissable Sport, making August 2026 one of the most exciting months Perth has seen in years. Whether you're a die-hard tifoso or simply a lover of elite-level sport, this is an event not to be missed.
