Roma's Champions League Draw: Fenerbahçe First, Then Mourinho's Return

Roma's Serie A trip to Torino has been moved to accommodate the club's Champions League campaign. The match, originally scheduled for Sunday 13 September at 12.30, will now take place on Monday 14 September at 18.30. The change follows Roma's Champions League fixture on Thursday 10 September, when they travel to Istanbul to face Fenerbahce at 18.45. The rescheduling gives Dybala and his teammates an extra day of rest after their return from Turkey on Friday before facing Torino. The fixture against Atalanta at the Olimpico remains unchanged, scheduled for Saturday 5 September at 20.45.

Roma's Champions League League Phase fixture list is now set. The Giallorossi begin away to Fenerbahçe in Turkey before hosting Real Madrid in their second match. Matchday three brings a reunion with Slovan Bratislava, a throwback to their 2011 encounter. The schedule presents two testing away fixtures in succession: Roma travel to face Manchester, followed by a trip to Paris Saint-Germain. The full run of eight League Phase matches will determine Roma's path through the competition as they bid to progress from one of Europe's most demanding groups.

UEFA has confirmed the full league-phase schedule for Roma's 2026–27 Champions League campaign, with all eight opponents and fixture dates now set. Gian Piero Gasperini's side will begin their European return on Thursday 10 September in Turkey against Fenerbahçe, kicking off at 18:45. The first match at the Olimpico will be one of the season's headline fixtures: Roma against Real Madrid on 14 October at 21:00, marking José Mourinho's return to the stadium as an opponent. After the Real fixture, Roma will play at home against Slovan Bratislava on 20 October before travelling to Old Trafford to face Manchester United on 3 November. The run continues with an away trip to Paris Saint-Germain, managed by Luis Enrique, on 25 November. Roma's final match of 2026 comes on 8 December, hosting Sporting CP at the Olimpico. The league phase resumes in January with AEK Athens away on 19 January, followed by the final group match hosting Lille on 27 January 2027.
