Coppa Italia logo
The Coppa Italia kicks off this evening with four games, so you can follow Empoli-Reggiana, Sassuolo-Catanzaro, Lecce-Juve Stabia and Genoa-Venezia here.
The tournament had a brief preliminary round, but this is the first round proper and involves 12 Serie A teams.
Those who finished in the top eight of Serie A last season are top seeds and will get a ticket straight to the Round of 16, which is in December.
All the rounds except for the semi-final will be played in a one-off match, going straight to a penalty shoot-out if it is drawn after 90 minutes, rather than having extra time.
The competition is drawn up like a tennis tournament with brackets.
