AS Roma has confirmed the dates and opening fixtures for the summer under head coach Gasperini.

On 26 July at 18:00, Roma will face Cannes, another club owned by the Friedkin Group, in an internal friendly.

From 31 July, the team will move to Wales for the second phase of preparation, based at the Vale Resort in Hensol—about 30 minutes from Cardiff. This facility also hosts the Welsh national rugby team. The Welsh camp concludes on 8 August, after which Roma will play further warm-up matches building toward their campaign return. The squad will return to Champions League football next season following their absence.

The summer schedule peaks with a significant test against Borussia Dortmund on 15 August at 17:30, seven days before Roma's Serie A opener against Fiorentina. This match against a top European club comes as part of final preparations designed to ensure peak fitness for the new campaign.
