AS Roma's full schedule for the 2026-27 UEFA Champions League group stage has been confirmed. The Italian club will begin its European campaign with an away trip to Fenerbahce on 10 September, as reported by ANSA Sport. Daniele De Rossi's side, currently 2nd in Serie A with 3 points from one game and a perfect goal difference of +4, must first focus on a league match away to 5th-placed Lecce on 31 August, a fixture you can find on our fixtures page.
What is AS Roma's Champions League fixture list?
Roma start their group stage on Thursday, 10 September with a 18:45 kick-off away to Fenerbahce in Turkey. Their first home match at the Stadio Olimpico is a blockbuster against Real Madrid on Wednesday, 14 October at 21:00. The third matchday sees them host Slovan Bratislava on Tuesday, 20 October, also at 21:00. November brings two heavyweight away trips: to Manchester United on Tuesday the 3rd and to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday the 25th, both starting at 21:00.
The group concludes in the new year. Roma welcome Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday, 8 December and AEK Athens on Tuesday, 19 January, before finishing at home against Lille on Wednesday, 27 January. All these matches kick off at 21:00. This demanding European schedule runs parallel to a tight Serie A title race, where Roma sit three points behind leaders AC Milan, as shown in our standings section.
How does AS Roma's group look?
The draw has placed Roma in a highly competitive group featuring three former European champions. Alongside Real Madrid, the group includes Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, clubs with massive resources and ambitions. Fenerbahce offers a traditionally hostile Turkish atmosphere, while Slovan, AEK and Lille round out a varied set of opponents. The battle for a top-two spot and progression to the knockout rounds will be fierce. The squad must navigate this path without two key players, as Devyne Rensch and Lorenzo Pellegrini are currently sidelined with injuries, according to our injuries list.
What are the immediate challenges for the team?
Before European action begins, Roma face a crucial Serie A test away to Lecce on 31 August. This match will serve as an important form check. The defence, which has yet to concede a league goal this season, will need to maintain that standard against elite attacks like those of Real Madrid and PSG. The attack, which has scored 4 goals, must find consistency. Squad management will be vital given the high volume of matches scheduled from September through October.
The release of the Champions League calendar officially marks the start of the European season for AS Roma. Fans can now plan their travels and look forward to big nights at the Stadio Olimpico. The team, led by Daniele De Rossi, has the chance to test itself against the continent's best. The road to European glory begins on 10 September in Istanbul, but the path to qualification will require high-level performances both domestically and abroad. The coming months will be decisive for the club's seasonal ambitions.
