Parma Associazione Calcio played its sixth consecutive Serie A season, which was the last under legendary coach Nevio Scala, who stepped down at the end of the season. Defensive stalwarts Alberto Di Chiara and Lorenzo Minotti also left the club following the season's conclusion. Despite being only one point behind third-placed Lazio, Parma finished 6th in the standings. In contrast to the previous four seasons, Parma did not win any cups either. The most significant moment of Parma's season was the debut of the club's new superstar, 17-year-old goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who saved a penalty on his debut against A.C. Milan.

The 1995–96 Serie A title was won by Milan, with Juventus finishing as runners-up. Fourth placed Fiorentina tasted glory in the Coppa Italia, while seventh-placed Internazionale only narrowly managed to qualify for the UEFA Cup under the management of their new English head coach Roy Hodgson. In fact Internazionale needed both Fiorentina beating Atalanta in the 1995–96 Coppa Italia Final and their (Internazionale's) arch-rivals AC Milan and Juventus win the Serie A (Milan) and the 1995–96 UEFA Champions League Final (Juventus). Had one of these three things not occurred Internazionale would have missed out on european football for the second time in four years. Bari, Torino, Cremonese and Padova were all relegated.

S.S. Lazio finished third in Serie A this season and reached the quarter-final of the Coppa Italia and the round of 32 of the UEFA Cup.

During the 1997–98 Italian football season, Società Sportiva Lazio competed in the Serie A, Coppa Italia and UEFA Cup.

Associazione Calcio Fiorentina enjoyed its best season in the 1990s on the pitch, but was left wondering what might have been. Leading the domestic Serie A championship a long way into the season, Fiorentina's title charge fell to pieces, as it lost unnecessary points while eventual champions Milan and runners-up Lazio continued winning their matches. In the end, Fiorentina salvaged third place in the league, qualifying for the UEFA Champions League in 1999–2000.

Juventus Football Club finished second in Serie A and reached the final of the Coppa Italia in this season.

The 1995–96 season was Milan AC's 96th season in existence and the club's 13th consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football. Also the club played in Coppa Italia and UEFA Cup.

In the 1995-96 S.S.C. Napoli season, the club finished in the lower midfield of the table, once again missing out on the international competitions. Goalscoring was at a premium, but the tight defence led by Latin Americans Roberto Ayala and André Cruz, ensured that Napoli did not go close to relegation. Goalkeeper Giuseppe Taglialatela also strengthened his reputation with a solid season.

Juventus Football Club finished second in Serie A following the 1995-96 season and regained the European Cup trophy after 11 years, winning the Champions League final against Ajax 4–2 on penalties in Rome. Juventus also won the Supercoppa Italiana in the late summer of 1995, before going on to finish second in the league. Following the Champions League title, strikers Gianluca Vialli and Fabrizio Ravanelli were sold to Chelsea and Middlesbrough, respectively. The club also dropped Pietro Vierchowod, Paulo Sousa and Massimo Carrera. Instead, Juventus decided to sign playmaker Zinedine Zidane from Bordeaux, along with young striker Christian Vieri, who signed from Atalanta.

Associazione Calcio Fiorentina had its best season for a long time, finishing tied for third in Serie A, plus winning the Coppa Italia following a clear double victory over Atalanta in the final. Strengthened by Stefan Schwarz and Michele Serena, Fiorentina were able to concede fewer goals than previously, but even though Rui Costa and Gabriel Batistuta continued their special partnership, the goals did not come with such ease as the year before.

Associazione Sportiva Roma did not match city rivals Lazio for the fourth year running, but managed to finish in the top five of Serie A. Abel Balbo was once again the club's topscorer, but managed just 14 goals, eight less than his previous season.

During the 1995–96 Italian football season, Internazionale competed in Serie A.

Unione Calcio Sampdoria spent the 1994-95 season mired in the midfield, since its remarkable offensive play from the 1993-94 season failed to occur. Despite this, it came close to another European final, but stumbled at Arsenal following penalties in the semi-finals. Following the end of the season, creative midfielders David Platt, Attilio Lombardo and Vladimir Jugović all left the club, bringing further uncertainty of the future direction of the club.

Unione Calcio Sampdoria was once again condemned to midfield mediocrity, despite the services of super striker Enrico Chiesa, who netted 22 goals in just 27 appearances. Sven-Göran Eriksson continued with an attacking style of play, leading to Sampdoria scoring 59 goals in 34 matches, only bettered by champions Milan and Lazio. The backside was the many conceded goals it led to, with even relegated Torino having a better defensive record than the Genua team. Playmaker duo Clarence Seedorf and Christian Karembeu had great seasons, both compensating for the losses of Jugović, Lombardo and David Platt in the summer. The duo caught the attention of Real Madrid, and moved to Spain, with Karembeu staying put until the end of the 1996–97 season.

Piacenza Calcio did not manage to renew their stay in Serie A, in the club's debut season at the top level of Italian football. The performance from the team was not too poor however, considering it was only a point from the 14th place that would have kept Piacenza up.

Piacenza Calcio managed to secure a penultimate-round survival in their second attempt to establish themselves in Serie A. Much thanks to the presence of 14-times goal scorer Nicola Caccia and creative midfielder Gianpietro Piovani, plus a tight defensive line, Piacenza had five points in hand to the relegated Bari.

The 2017–18 Coppa Italia, also known as TIM Cup for sponsorship reasons, was the 71st edition of the national cup in Italian football. As a minimum, the winners of the Coppa Italia earn a place in the 2018–19 Europa League and would begin play in the group stage unless they qualify for a more favourable UEFA placing based on league play. Seventy-eight clubs participated in this season's cup competition.

During the 1995–96 season 'Associazione Sportiva Bari competed in Serie A and Coppa Italia.

During the 1995–96 season Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio competed in Serie A and Coppa Italia.

The 2021–22 season was the 102nd season in the existence of U.S. Sassuolo Calcio and the club's ninth consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football. In addition to the domestic league, Sassuolo participated in this season's edition of the Coppa Italia.

The 1995–96 season was the 93rd season in existence of Cremonese and the club's third consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football. In addition to the domestic league, Cremonese participated in this season's edition of the Coppa Italia. The season covered the period from 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996.
