Buy AS Roma vs Genoa for the 2026/27 season and the date to work to is Saturday 17 October 2026, kick-off 20:45 local time at the Stadio Olimpico. That is 19:45 in the United Kingdom, an evening match rather than the afternoon slot the calendar first suggested. It is matchday seven of Roma's hundredth year. It lands in the middle of an unusually crowded week at the ground.

Roma play three home matches at the Olimpico inside seven days in October. Real Madrid arrive in the Champions League on Wednesday 14 October, Genoa on the Saturday, then Slovan Bratislava on Tuesday 20 October. AS Roma vs Genoa tickets sit between two European nights at the same stadium, which changes the arithmetic for anyone building a trip around one of them.
The other thing worth knowing before you look at a listing is what the record says. In Serie A at this ground, against this opponent, AS Roma have played thirty-nine times and lost none of them.
The scheduling here is unusual enough to be worth planning around. Three fixtures at one stadium in seven days is rare in Serie A. It happens here because a Champions League home double falls either side of a domestic Saturday. For a visitor flying in, that means a single trip can take in two matches, or three if the timings work.
The prices attached to those three dates are not remotely alike. The Real Madrid fixture on 14 October opens from around £395, the Slovan Bratislava match on 20 October from around £70, while this one starts near £48. Same ground, same week, same tenant, with an eightfold spread between the top and the bottom of it.
Genoa are the reason this date sits where it does on that ladder. They are Italy's oldest club, founded in 1893, with a large and organised travelling support, though they are not one of the four or five visitors that clear the Olimpico before general sale opens. That is what leaves inventory in the market.
There is a second effect worth weighing. A club playing Real Madrid on the Wednesday and a European home tie on the Tuesday after has a heavy week. The domestic fixture in the middle is the one where rotation is most likely. That tends to soften demand rather than raise it, which works in a neutral buyer's favour.
Yes. Roma run a membership scheme that opens a presale window ahead of general release. For the visits of the largest clubs that window is frequently where the seats go. It also serves as the route into away allocations through club channels, in the way the Tessera del Tifoso has worked across Italian football for years.
For this fixture the card is not the obstacle. A Saturday evening against a mid-table visitor reaches general sale, so the practical difficulty for anyone outside Rome is timing rather than membership. Single-match sales open close to the date, which is unusable if you are booking flights and a hotel months ahead.
Resale removes that dependency. Season-ticket holders miss individual matches, plans change, then seats return to circulation from people who committed to the full campaign. At a ground where the abbonamento covers a substantial share of the bowl, that returning inventory reaches sectors which barely touch public sale.
Italian ticketing is nominative, so the name attached to an order can matter at the turnstile. Read the listing notes on name matching before you commit. Allow also for the fact that a seat bought in July may not be issued until October.
Five variables set the number on an Olimpico listing. Sector is the floor, with the ladder running from the ends up to covered central seating in the main stand. Availability adjusts it. Opponent moves it hardest, because the Roma calendar splits into a handful of dates that sell out early and everything else.
Timing matters because Serie A releases seats digitally close to kick-off. Hospitality then runs on a separate scale entirely. For a sense of the top of that market, the visit of Real Madrid to the Olimpico three days earlier prices around eight times above this one.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Sud | £48 – £95 | Atmosphere, lowest outlay | The Roma home end, where the organised support gathers. Behind the goal and set back from the pitch by the athletics track |
| Tribuna Tevere | £85 – £160 | A full view of the pitch at a sensible price | The long side opposite the main stand, named for the river behind it. The value pick for most visitors |
| Tribuna Tevere centrale | £150 – £270 | The halfway line without main-stand pricing | Central blocks on the Tevere side, a noticeable upgrade on sightlines for a modest step up |
| Tribuna Monte Mario | £220 – £420 | The clearest sightlines in the ground | The main stand, backing onto the Monte Mario hill, with the dignitaries' seating at its centre |
| Premium and hospitality | £400 – £950+ | Groups, corporate guests, occasion buyers | Central main-stand positions with lounge access. Inventory is limited and moves early for the European dates that week |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
One feature of this ground shapes every seating decision made in it. The Olimpico is an athletics stadium as well as a football ground, so a running track separates the front rows from the touchline. The lowest seats are not the closest ones in the way they would be at a purpose-built football stadium.
That inverts the usual advice. A mid-height seat in the Tribuna Tevere gives you a better view of the play than a front row in the same stand, because height compensates for the distance the track imposes. Paying to sit low here buys proximity to the track rather than to the football.
The 1990 rebuild added a translucent canopy over the whole bowl, so cover is not the variable it is at other Italian grounds. For a 20:45 kick-off in mid-October, when Rome is mild but the evening cools, that matters less for rain than for the fact that every sector is treated alike. A full breakdown of blocks sits on the Stadio Olimpico seating plan.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Sud | Noise, banners, organised support | £48 – £95 | Roma's home end, where the noise comes from. The hardest sector to enter comfortably from outside Rome |
| Tribuna Tevere | A full view at a sensible outlay | £85 – £160 | The long side facing the main stand. Take a mid-height row rather than the front, since the track sets the lower seats back |
| Tribuna Tevere centrale | The halfway line on a working budget | £150 – £270 | Central blocks on the Tevere side, the sensible compromise between price and sightline |
| Tribuna Monte Mario | The strongest view in the stadium | £220 – £420 | The covered main stand under the Monte Mario hill, elevated and central, the natural choice for a first visit |
| Premium seating | Comfort with lounge access | £400 – £950+ | Central main-stand positions with hospitality attached, in limited supply during a three-match week |
| Curva Nord | Travelling Genoa support only | Set by agreement between the clubs | The north end, which carries the visiting sector at Roma home matches. Lazio's home end when the other tenant plays |
Anyone undecided should take the Tribuna Tevere, mid-height, rather than either end. You get the full length of the pitch, an allocated seat instead of a standing position, plus a view of the Curva Sud doing what it does across the ground from you. Ticket options across the whole venue are grouped under Stadio Olimpico.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Premium central seat | Couples, solo travellers marking the trip | Covered main-stand seating on the halfway line with lounge access, the simplest route into the strongest part of the ground |
| Lounge package | Corporate pairs, guests being hosted | Seated service before kick-off and at half-time, with the evening timing making a full pre-match meal practical rather than rushed |
| Group booking | Small companies, supporter groups travelling together | Seats held together, which is harder to arrange in a week where three fixtures compete for the same premium inventory |
| Two-match or three-match trip | Buyers building a week in Rome around the football | Real Madrid on 14 October and Slovan Bratislava on 20 October bracket this fixture at the same ground, so one trip can cover two or three matches |
The three-match week is the point worth acting on. Hospitality stock at the Olimpico is finite. The Champions League dates either side of this one draw on the same pool of lounges and central seats. Booking the domestic fixture early is the part of that week least likely to be squeezed.
If a European night is what you actually want, the Slovan Bratislava fixture on the Tuesday is the accessible half of the Champions League pair, opening near £70 against roughly £395 for Real Madrid. Pairing it with this Saturday gives you two matches at the Olimpico for less than one seat at the Madrid game.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket | That you allow for late release, since most Serie A seats are issued digitally in the days immediately before kick-off rather than at purchase |
| Print-at-home document | That you hold a printed copy as well as the file, because scanning from paper is quicker at a busy turnstile |
| Local collection in Rome | The collection window and the address, plus whether identification is needed at handover |
| Courier to a home or hotel address | That the address is right and somebody can sign, which is the weak point for a hotel booked the same day |
Read each listing for notes on name matching or collection before committing. Italian clubs run nominative ticketing, so the name on the order can matter at the gate. The seller will set out what applies to the sector you have chosen.
A quiet stretch after ordering is normal here rather than a warning sign. Seats are issued close to the fixture across Serie A. In a week carrying two Champions League matches at the same stadium, the domestic fixture is not the one that gets processed first.
1BoxOffice has traded as a verified marketplace since 2006 and backs every order with a 150% money-back guarantee, so the sequence below is the whole of it.
Step1
Fix the date and the kick-off in your head first
Saturday 17 October 2026, 20:45 in Rome, 19:45 in the United Kingdom. An evening kick-off changes what a same-day flight looks like, so settle the timing before you settle the seat.
Step2
Set up your buyer profile
Browsing works without signing in, though you will need to create an account to complete an order or save a search. Italian ticketing is nominative, so having your details right in advance saves trouble later.
Step3
Filter by quantity before anything else
Set the number of seats first. Listings that cannot be split to your group size drop out immediately, which saves working through prices that were never going to apply to you.
Step4
Read the sector name, not just the price
Curva Sud is the Roma end, Curva Nord the north end carrying the visiting sector, Tevere the long side and Monte Mario the main stand. Those four words describe the evening far better than the number attached to them.
Step5
Check the row as well as the sector
The running track means a front row sits further from the touchline than it would at a football-only ground. A mid-height seat in the Tevere sees more of the game than a low one. It often costs less too.
Step6
Match the delivery method to your trip
A mobile ticket suits anyone arriving the day before. Courier delivery needs a reliable address. Local collection works if you reach Rome with time in hand. Pick the method that fits your itinerary rather than reshaping the trip around the ticket.
Step7
Finish the order in one sitting
Inventory moves faster in a week where three fixtures at one stadium draw on the same buyers. Once the sector, the quantity and the delivery method all work, complete the purchase instead of opening a second tab to keep looking.
Step8
Follow the order through to delivery
Use track order to watch the status from confirmation to the ticket reaching you. Late issue is standard across Serie A, so a quiet month after purchase is expected here rather than unusual.
Rome is among the simplest away trips in Italy to organise, with two airports, direct rail from both and a stadium that sits inside the city rather than out beyond the ring road. The Olimpico is part of the Foro Italico complex in the north of the city, on the west bank of the Tiber, roughly four kilometres from the historic centre.
The nearest metro station is Flaminio on Line A, from where the number 2 tram runs north to Piazza Mancini, leaving a ten to fifteen minute walk across the river. Several bus routes serve the Foro Italico directly. Parking around the ground is limited and heavily restricted on matchdays, so public transport is the sensible approach for a 20:45 kick-off.
For delivery, a mobile ticket or a courier to your hotel suit an overseas buyer. Seats together are worth requesting rather than assuming. Anyone wanting the return fixture instead can look at Genoa vs AS Roma at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on 14 March 2027, which is a very different building and a considerably harder ticket.
Build flexibility into the date. Serie A confirms exact days and kick-off times only a few weeks ahead, in blocks of matchdays. This one has already moved from an afternoon slot to an evening one. Anyone booking a return flight for the Saturday night should treat 20:45 as the working assumption rather than the final word.
Some head-to-head records are close enough that the history barely helps a buyer. This one is not. Across thirty-nine Serie A meetings at the Stadio Olimpico, Roma have won thirty-three, drawn six and lost none, scoring eighty goals against twenty.
The scoping matters, because Genoa have beaten Roma in Rome. It happened on 17 January 1990, a 1-0 win with Aguilera scoring inside a quarter of an hour. That match was played at the Stadio Flaminio, because the Olimpico was closed for reconstruction ahead of the 1990 World Cup and Roma spent the whole 1989/90 season across the river.
Roma returned to a rebuilt Olimpico in the summer of 1990 and have not lost to Genoa there since. The two clubs first met at the ground on 13 September 1953, in the season Roma moved in. The fixture has produced twenty-four Roma clean sheets in thirty-nine attempts.
The most striking stretch ran from September 1994 to December 2018: thirteen consecutive home league wins over Genoa, a sequence il Romanista described as Roma's longest run of home victories against any single Serie A opponent. It ended with a 3-3 draw in August 2019, the highest-scoring meeting the ground has staged in this fixture.
Genoa have taken six points from thirty-nine visits. Four of those six draws came before 1965. In the modern era, from their return to Serie A in 2007/08 onwards, the record at this ground reads eighteen played, sixteen Roma wins, two draws and no defeats, with forty-two goals scored against fourteen.
The three most recent meetings here have all gone the same way. Roma won 1-0 in May 2024, 3-1 in January 2025, then 3-1 again on 29 December 2025, a result that arrived on Daniele De Rossi's return to the Olimpico as a visiting manager. Genoa have scored in each of the last two, which is more than they managed across several of the earlier runs.
All figures below cover Serie A meetings at the Stadio Olimpico with AS Roma as hosts, from the clubs' first league meeting at the ground in 1953 to the most recent. Away fixtures in Genoa, Coppa Italia ties and the 1989/90 season at the Stadio Flaminio are excluded.

The long gaps reflect how rarely the clubs shared a division. Genoa spent 1960 to 1962, 1965 to 1973, 1975 to 1976, 1978 to 1981 and 1984 to 1989 outside Serie A, then a longer absence from 1995 to 2007 that accounts for the thirteen-year jump in the middle of the table.
Saturday 17 October 2026 at 20:45 local time, which is 19:45 in the United Kingdom. Lega Serie A moved the fixture into the evening slot when it published the matchday six to twelve programming, so treat any afternoon listing as out of date.
Not in Serie A. Thirty-nine league meetings at the ground have produced thirty-three Roma wins and six draws. Genoa's only league win over Roma in the city came in January 1990 at the Stadio Flaminio, while the Olimpico was closed for reconstruction.
In the Curva Nord, the end opposite Roma's Curva Sud. Allocations for visiting clubs are agreed between the two sides and released through the away club rather than sold openly in Rome.
A mid-height row in the Tribuna Tevere. The Olimpico has a running track, so low seats sit further from the pitch than they would elsewhere. Height improves the view more than proximity does.
Most Serie A seats are issued digitally in the days immediately before kick-off rather than at the point of purchase, so a quiet stretch after ordering is normal rather than a problem.
