In 2013, Dimarco was a member of the Italy under-17 side that finished runners-up at the UEFA European Under-17 Championship in Slovakia and was eliminated in the second round of the FIFA U-17 World Cup. With the Italy under-19, he took part at the 2016 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, where Italy reached the final. Dimarco scored four goals in the tournament, including three penalties and one free kick. On 22 March 2018, Dimarco debuted with the Italy under-21 in a 1–1 friendly draw against Norway, entering as a substitute for Giuseppe Pezzella (1–1).

Dimarco received his first call-up to the Italian senior squad for the 2021 UEFA Nations League Finals. On 4 June 2022, he debuted in a 2022–23 UEFA Nations League match against Germany which ended in a 1–1 draw. He scored his first goal on 26 September in a 2–0 away victory against Hungary in the 2022–23 UEFA Nations League, allowing Italy to qualify for the 2023 UEFA Nations League Finals. The goal was also Italy's 1,500th goal. He scored his second goal for Italy on 18 June 2023, in a 3–2 win against the Netherlands in the bronze medal match of the tournament.

Dimarco is a left-footed defender who usually plays as a left-back, although he is also capable of playing on the right. He is known in particular for his pace, tireless running, eye for goal, and his powerful and accurate shot from outside the penalty area, as well as his ability to interpret the game; he is also a threat from set pieces. His qualities enable him to aid his team both defensively and offensively. In spite of his small stature and slender physique, he possesses significant strength, as well as good technical skills. Considered by journalist Emmet Gates to be one of the best full-backs in Serie A, Dimarco's pace and technical ability allow him to excel as a left-sided wing-back in a 3–5–2 formation, where he is able to overlap and get forward with his attacking runs, both on and off the ball, to create chances for his team with his crossing. Dimarco's defensive ability has been cited as a weakness in his game by journalist Kyle Bonn of The Sporting News. In 2024, ESPN placed him 10th in their list of the 100 best defenders in men's soccer.

Dimarco's younger brother Christian is also a professional footballer.
