AC Milan begin their 2026-27 Serie A campaign away from home when they visit Torino at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Sunday, 23 August, in the first official match of Ruben Amorim’s tenure.
The Portuguese manager will be aiming to oversee a winning start as his side face a Torino team determined to make the most of home advantage in the opening round of the new league season.
The match is also a significant occasion for Torino head coach Ignazio Abate, who is taking charge of a Serie A club for the first time. Abate is a familiar figure to AC Milan supporters, having previously been associated with the Lombardy club, adding an extra dimension to his first league fixture in the Torino dugout.
Both teams will regard the match as an important opportunity to begin the campaign positively. AC Milan’s immediate objective will be to collect three points on the road, while Torino will look to use the support of their home crowd to secure a positive result against one of the leading sides in the competition.
