Buy AS Roma vs Napoli tickets for the 2026/27 Season at the Stadio Olimpico, with the Serie A fixture scheduled for Sunday 2 May 2027 and kick-off listed at 20:00. This is the Derby del Sole, the meeting of the two great clubs of central and southern Italy, and it lands in the final weeks of the campaign. Both sides qualified for the Champions League last season, so the stakes in May are rarely small.

The Olimpico holds 70,634, yet seats for this fixture are among the hardest to find in the Roman calendar. Season ticket holders fill much of the ground, the Curva Sud is close to sold out before a single match ticket goes on sale and demand from across Italy and abroad takes care of the rest. Buyers planning to watch AS Roma host Napoli usually turn to the resale market early.
This guide covers why demand runs so high, what seats cost, where each set of supporters sits and how delivery works for Italian fixtures. It also sets out every Serie A meeting between the sides at the Olimpico, from the first in December 1953 to Napoli's 1-0 win in November 2025.
The name says a lot. The Derby del Sole, the derby of the sun, has linked Rome and Naples for generations, and the fixture carries the weight of two proud cities and two fan bases that rarely give an inch. It is not a city derby, but for many supporters in both cities it ranks just behind one.
Napoli arrive as one of the strongest sides in Italy. They won the Scudetto in 2023 and again in 2025, and their recent visits to Rome have been hard for the home crowd to watch. Napoli have won three of the last six meetings at the Olimpico, including a 1-0 win in November 2025 sealed by a counter-attack before half-time.
Roma have their own reasons to circle the date. They have not beaten Napoli at home since December 2023, and a crowd that expects a response tends to turn up in force. Late-season stakes push demand higher still: with only a few rounds left, both clubs are usually fighting for Champions League places or more.
The Champions League itself adds a further layer. Both clubs play in the Champions League this season, which keeps their profiles high with overseas buyers. Fans from across Europe, the Gulf and North America often choose a domestic fixture like this as an easier trip than a midweek European night.
Away supporter restrictions also shape the market. Authorities have imposed travel bans and sales restrictions on both clubs' travelling fans in recent seasons, and Napoli supporters who cannot get into the away sector often look for seats elsewhere. Every one of those buyers adds pressure on home areas.
Through club routes, it is difficult. Roma sell a large share of the Olimpico to season ticket holders, and the Curva Sud in particular is filled mainly by abbonati who renew every summer. Single-match tickets for this fixture go to registered supporters first, and the remaining seats rarely last long once general sale opens.
Italian tickets are nominative, which means each one carries the holder's name and must match valid photo ID at the gate. Club sales require personal details for every ticket in the order. For a group of overseas buyers, gathering passport details for each person and getting them right first time can be a fiddly process.
The away sector works on its own rules. Sales to visiting fans are often limited to supporters registered with the away club, and for this fixture authorities have in the past restricted sales by region of residence or closed the away sector altogether. Those rules protect crowd safety, but they make the club route unreliable for many buyers.
The resale marketplace is the alternative route. Sellers on 1BoxOffice list seats across the Olimpico, including central tribuna sections that can be hard to secure through general sale. You choose the stand, compare prices and buy without holding a Roma membership or season ticket. Listing notes explain any name-change process needed for nominative tickets before matchday.
Prices for the 2026/27 Season depend on five main drivers. Seat location comes first, with central tribuna seats costing far more than the curve or upper corners.
Demand follows, and for the Derby del Sole it sits near the top of the Olimpico's calendar. Fixture timing counts, since a confirmed Sunday evening slot draws more visitors than a midweek game. Competition context lifts prices when Champions League places are at stake in May. Hospitality tier sets the top of the market.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / less central | £105 – £160 | Fans who just want to be inside the ground | Upper corners and Distinti sections, wide views across the bowl |
| Longside standard | £150 – £240 | Couples and small groups | Outer sections of the Tribuna Tevere |
| Lower tier / central | £220 – £350+ | Buyers who want a central view of the pitch | Central Tevere blocks sell first |
| Premium seating | £320 – £500+ | Fans wanting the clearest sightlines | Central Tribuna Monte Mario, limited supply |
| Hospitality / VIP | £450 – £900+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Packages vary by lounge, dining format and seat position |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
This fixture sits near the top of the Olimpico's price range. Only the Derby della Capitale against Lazio and the visits of Juventus and Inter tend to command similar resale prices. Upper tier seats move fastest in the final fortnight, while premium and hospitality prices hold steadier, so buyers on a fixed budget should aim to secure seats once the date and kick-off time are confirmed.
Supply is the deciding factor. Few Roma season ticket holders give up a seat for Napoli, and the away-sector restrictions push extra demand into home areas. When listings are that thin, a handful of new seats can move prices noticeably in either direction.
The Olimpico has four main stands: the Curva Sud and Curva Nord behind the goals, with the Tribuna Monte Mario and Tribuna Tevere along the sides. It is a multi-sport stadium with a running track around the pitch, so seats sit further from the action than at a purpose-built football ground. The Stadio Olimpico seating plan shows the sections and tiers before you choose.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Sud | Roma fans who want to stand and sing for 90 minutes | Lower to mid | Home of the Roma ultras; flags, choreography and constant noise. Not for neutrals or families |
| Curva Nord | Value hunters happy behind the goal | Lower | Behind the opposite goal from the Curva Sud; quieter than the Roma end with a full view of it |
| Tribuna Tevere | Couples, families and small groups | Mid | Longside stand opposite the main stand with good views of both curve |
| Tribuna Monte Mario | Buyers wanting premium seats | Premium | Main stand, home to the central premium areas and much of the hospitality |
| Away sector | Napoli supporters only, when open | Lower | A designated visiting section confirmed for each fixture; sales can be restricted or suspended by the authorities. Napoli colours belong here only |
| Distinti and upper corners | First-time visitors on a budget | Lower | Angled views of the whole bowl at lower prices than the tribune |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans are best placed in the Tribuna Tevere. It gives a full view of the Curva Sud in full voice without putting you in the middle of it. Wear neutral clothing in any home section and leave Napoli shirts at the hotel; for this fixture more than most, stewards and home fans notice. For other matchdays at the ground, the Stadio Olimpico guide covers every fixture on sale.
Row choice matters more here than at most grounds. Because of the running track, the very front rows of the lower tiers sit low and far from the touchline, so the view can be flatter than the price suggests. A seat a little higher in the same sector usually gives a clearer picture of the game for a similar price.
One risk is specific to the curve. Italian disciplinary bodies can close a whole curva for a match as a sanction for crowd behaviour. Seats in the tribune carry far less of that risk, which is another reason neutral and overseas buyers lean towards the Tevere and Monte Mario for a fixture of this profile.
Roma sell a range of hospitality options in the Tribuna Monte Mario, from padded seats with lounge access through to private boxes. The club's published descriptions focus on central seats, Italian dining and lounges that open well before kick-off. With a 20:00 start on a Sunday, a package turns the evening into a long Roman dinner with the football in the middle of it.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Premium seats with lounge access | Individuals and pairs | Central padded seats with pre-match drinks and food |
| Shared lounge with dining | Small groups and clients | Sit-down meal before kick-off with a lounge at half-time |
| Premium restaurant package | Celebrations and special occasions | Fuller menu, Italian wines and seats near the halfway line |
| Private box | Corporate groups | Exclusive space with private catering over the pitch |
Hospitality supply is fixed, so it does not grow when demand rises. For the Derby del Sole, packages are often taken early by Roman businesses entertaining clients. Resale listings fill part of that gap and let overseas buyers secure a place without dealing with the club's corporate sales team.
Hospitality also solves a practical problem: seating a group together in a good part of the ground. Packages are sold in pairs and groups by design, so a party of four that would struggle to find adjacent seats in general areas can often sit together in a lounge. Smart casual is the safe default, and arriving at least two hours before kick-off lets you enjoy the full package.
Because Italian tickets are nominative, delivery for Roma fixtures works slightly differently from many other leagues. The method is shown on every listing before you pay.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket | The ticket is sent to your phone or app; have it downloaded before you reach the stadium |
| E-ticket (PDF) | Print it or keep it on your phone; the name on the ticket must match your ID |
| Name change | The ticket is reissued in your name; send the requested details promptly so the change completes in time |
| Hospitality delivery | Packages may arrive as e-tickets or with a named guest list at the lounge entrance |
Read the listing notes for delivery timing, as Italian tickets often arrive in the final days before the game. Bring valid photo ID that matches the name on your ticket, since stewards compare the two at the turnstiles. Charge your phone fully before leaving the hotel.
Getting to the Foro Italico takes planning. Take Metro Line A to Flaminio, then tram 2 to Piazza Mancini and walk across the river, around 10 to 15 minutes. Buses also serve the area but crawl through matchday traffic. For a fixture of this profile, police cordons and security searches add time at the outer perimeter, so arrive early.
If your tickets have not arrived by the time stated on the listing, contact the customer support team rather than waiting until matchday. Keep your order confirmation handy and watch the email address on your account closely in the final week.

Rome is one of the easiest football cities in Europe to reach. Fiumicino handles direct flights from across Europe, the Gulf and North America, while Ciampino serves many budget routes. Trains link both airports to the centre, and the Foro Italico is a short trip from there by metro and tram.
Overseas buyers can choose mobile or e-ticket delivery, both of which work anywhere with a phone signal. Have passport details ready for every member of your party, since nominative tickets may need a name change before delivery. If you need seats together, filter for listings that guarantee it rather than hoping for adjacent seats on the night.
Plan travel around the possibility of a date change. Serie A kick-off times are set around broadcast schedules, and the fixture could move to the Saturday or the Monday. Champions League commitments for both clubs can also push domestic fixtures around in spring. Book flexible flights and refundable hotels where you can.
Where you stay shapes the evening. Prati and Flaminio sit closest to the stadium, with easy walking or tram links to the Foro Italico. The historic centre puts you among the restaurants of Rome but further from the ground, so allow extra time on the way back. Taxis are scarce after full time and the trams fill quickly, so groups should agree a meeting point before kick-off.
Roma and Napoli have met in Serie A at the Olimpico since December 1953, the ground's first season as Roma's home. The early decades belonged to the hosts, with the 8-0 win of March 1959 still the heaviest scoreline in the fixture's history at the stadium. Through the 1970s the meetings turned tight and cagey, with five goalless draws in Rome between 1974 and 1980.
The 1980s brought the fixture into the spotlight. Roma won the Scudetto in 1983 with a 5-2 home win over Napoli along the way, and followed it with a 5-1 win that October. Napoli then built the title-winning sides of the late 1980s, and the balance of power in central and southern Italy became a talking point every time the two met.
Roma enjoyed some of their most memorable home wins in the 1990s, including 4-1 in April 1996 and 6-2 in October 1997. After Napoli's spell outside the top flight, the fixture returned with a wild 4-4 draw in October 2007. More recently, Napoli have turned the tide: their 4-1 win in March 2019 matched their biggest margin at the ground, and they have won three of the last six meetings in Rome.
What makes this fixture distinctive is the mix of history and current stakes. Roma still lead the record at the Olimpico by a clear margin, but Napoli's recent dominance has made every visit feel like a test of the home side's ambitions. With both clubs in the Champions League and the season close to its end, the May 2027 meeting promises the kind of evening that defines a Roman spring.
