Napoli v Roma will be broadcast free of charge on DAZN, making the eighth-round Serie A clash available to viewers without a subscription. The match is scheduled for Saturday 24 October at 18:00 at the Stadio Maradona.
The fixture was chosen by DAZN as the first free-to-air Serie A match of the 2026/27 season, two years after the platform first offered a Serie A game as a free live stream. It is one of five Serie A matches the platform can make freely available during the season.
No subscription is needed to watch. Viewers must register for free on DAZN via desktop, smartphone or Smart TV and access the section marked "FreeZone Days". Coverage includes the pre-match and post-match build-up. On desktop or mobile, users visit the DAZN homepage, select "Registrati Gratis" in the FreeZone Days section, enter their email address and complete account creation. On Smart TV, users open the DAZN app, enter the FreeZone Days section and complete registration by scanning the QR code shown on screen. If the television does not support this method, registration can be completed on desktop or smartphone.
DAZN advises viewers to register in advance, update the app and log in to the broadcast as early as possible. Free access to the match is limited to a maximum of around two million users without a subscription. The match remains exclusive to DAZN, but is free for non-subscribers who register on the platform.
