The fixture falls in a landmark year for Fiorentina, who celebrate their centenary in the 2026/27 season with a redeveloped Franchi taking shape around them. Sassuolo arrive as a club that has become a regular top-flight opponent since 2013, and their visits to Florence have produced some of the most open, high-scoring afternoons of the past decade.
Winter in Florence brings smaller tourist crowds and quieter streets, which makes a January weekend one of the most practical times to combine a Serie A match with the city itself. This guide covers prices, where to sit, hospitality, delivery and the full record of the fixture at the Franchi.
Fiorentina's home support is among the most passionate in Italian football, and the centenary season adds another layer. Every home game in 2026/27 carries a sense of occasion, with supporters keen to see the redeveloped stadium and to be part of the club's hundredth year. Demand for home matches has run high as a result, even for fixtures that would once have been easy to buy on the day.
Supply has also been shaped by the building work. The Franchi is being redeveloped in phases, and capacity was held at around 24,000 during the main phase of works, well below the stadium's historic figure. With a large share of seats taken by season ticket holders, the number of single-match tickets left for each game is limited.
The opponents add their own draw. Sassuolo have a record of attacking, entertaining football, and their matches in Florence have averaged more than three goals a game across 12 Serie A meetings. Neutral visitors who want goals and a lively crowd rather than a tense stalemate have good reason to pick this date.
International demand is a factor too. Florence is one of Europe's most visited cities, and a growing number of overseas visitors now add a Fiorentina match to a trip. A Sunday fixture in January suits a long weekend, which keeps interest high in the weeks before the match.
The visiting end is small, which shapes the rest of the ground. Sassuolo come from a town of around 40,000 people in the hills near Modena, and their travelling support is modest compared with the big clubs. That leaves almost the whole stadium to home supporters and neutral buyers, and it means the competition for seats comes mainly from Florence itself and from visitors to the city.
Sassuolo's story adds interest for neutrals too. The club rose from the lower divisions to reach Serie A for the first time in 2013, spent 11 straight seasons in the top flight and won promotion straight back after relegation in 2024. For many visitors, this is a chance to see one of Italian football's most unlikely success stories against one of its most historic clubs.
Through the club, yes, but it takes planning. Fiorentina sell single-match tickets through their own ticketing channels once season ticket holders are covered, and club card holders are usually offered access before general sale. The 2026/27 season ticket campaign has closed, so every season seat is already accounted for before a single match ticket goes on sale.
Italian football also brings its own rules. Tickets are issued in the holder's name, club registration is often needed to buy online and ID can be requested at the turnstile. For overseas visitors, that process is not always easy to follow in advance, especially when sales windows open only a few weeks before the match.
Timing makes the club route harder still. Single-match tickets for a Serie A fixture typically go on sale only once the exact kick-off slot is confirmed, which can be just two or three weeks before the match. Visitors who book flights and hotels months ahead need their seats settled long before that window opens.
A verified marketplace removes most of that friction. On 1BoxOffice you can buy seats for this fixture without a season ticket, without a club card and without chasing a sales window. Each listing shows the sector, the delivery method and whether seats are together, and the listing notes explain how the ticket holder's name is handled for entry.
Sassuolo supporters should note one point. Tickets for the visiting sector are sold through Sassuolo's own allocation, not through resale, and marketplace seats will sit in home or neutral areas. That matters for colours and conduct, which the seating section below covers.
Five factors set the price: seat location, demand when you buy, the timing of the fixture, the competition context and whether you choose a hospitality package. For the 2026/27 season, the centenary year and the reduced capacity during the works both push prices above a typical mid-table fixture, although this match remains more affordable than the visits of Juventus, Inter or Milan.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva / less central | £45 – £70 | Budget-conscious fans | Behind the goals, where the atmosphere is loudest and prices lowest |
| Maratona standard | £55 – £95 | Supporters who want a sideline view | The long stand opposite the main stand, away from the halfway line |
| Tribuna / central | £80 – £140+ | Buyers who want a central seat | Main stand blocks near halfway, listed first and sold first |
| Premium seating | £130 – £250+ | Couples and small groups | Tribuna d'Onore and Poltronissima seats in the heart of the main stand |
| Hospitality / VIP | £200 – £450+ | Corporate guests and premium experiences | Lounge access, dining and the most central seats in the ground |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Prices for a Serie A fixture like this tend to follow a steady pattern. Listings build once the exact kick-off time is announced, then firm up in the final fortnight as travelling visitors lock in their plans. Groups of four or more who want to sit together should expect to pay towards the top of each range, while pairs and singles will find more choice.
The curves offer the strongest value in the ground for supporters who want atmosphere, while the outer Maratona sectors give a sideline view for a modest step up in price. The Tribuna commands a premium for its central position and its canopy, which on a January afternoon is worth more than it would be in spring.
Visitors should also weigh up the whole trip. A lower-priced seat in the curve leaves more room in the budget for a longer stay in Florence, while a Tribuna seat suits a short visit built around the match itself. Either way, buying early gives you the widest choice of sectors and a far stronger chance of finding seats together.
The Stadio Artemio Franchi, designed by Pier Luigi Nervi and opened in 1931, has four main areas. The Tribuna is the main stand beneath Nervi's famous cantilevered canopy, the Maratona runs opposite with its landmark tower and the two curves sit behind the goals: the Curva Fiesole and the Curva Ferrovia. The Stadio Artemio Franchi seating plan shows how the sectors are laid out.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curva Fiesole | Fans who want noise and colour | Low | The traditional home of Fiorentina's ultras and the centrepiece of the redevelopment, rebuilt as a new covered curve |
| Curva Ferrovia | Budget buyers who want atmosphere | Low | The opposite end, which has hosted much of the home support during the works; expect to stand for long spells |
| Maratona | First-time visitors and neutral buyers | Mid | A full sideline view; central and parterre sectors can close for works, so confirm the exact sector on the listing |
| Tribuna | Buyers who want the classic view | Mid to high | The main stand, including the Tribuna d'Onore, Poltronissima and VIP seats near halfway |
| Parterre | Supporters who want to be near the pitch | Mid | Lower front rows of the side stands; closer to the action but a flatter angle of view |
| Settore Ospiti | Sassuolo supporters only | Set by the visiting club | A small segregated visitors' sector, with league allocations in the low hundreds during the works; Sassuolo green and black belongs here only |
Neutral buyers should aim for the Maratona or the Tribuna. Fiorentina's colour is purple and Sassuolo play in green and black, so dress neutrally in home areas; stewards can move anyone in away colours out of home sectors. To compare this fixture with other matches at the ground, browse all Stadio Artemio Franchi tickets.
The Franchi was built with a running track around the pitch, so in the older sections views from the lower rows of the curves can feel distant. Higher seats in the curves and the central Maratona give a better overall picture of the game. Much of the stadium has been uncovered during the works, so on a wet January afternoon a seat under the Tribuna canopy or in newly covered areas is worth the extra cost.
Families and first-time visitors tend to feel most comfortable in the side stands, where the crowd is calmer and the view more complete. Supporters who want the full Florentine experience should head for the curves, where flags, songs and choreography start well before kick-off.
The redevelopment is changing the stadium season by season. The new covered Curva Fiesole is the centrepiece of the centenary plans, built to bring the traditional home end back to life with modern facilities, while work on other sectors follows in later phases. Because some sectors can open or close as the works progress, read the listing notes to confirm the exact sector before you buy.
Supporters with reduced mobility should plan ahead. The Franchi has dedicated spaces for wheelchair users and their companions, but the works can change access routes from one season to the next. If you need an accessible place, confirm it with the seller before you buy, as these seats are limited and cannot always be arranged at short notice.
Fiorentina's hospitality centres on the main stand. The premium sectors of the Tribuna, from the Poltronissima to the Tribuna d'Onore, offer padded central seats, and the club's hospitality packages add lounge access, food and drink to those seats.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Poltronissima seat | Fans upgrading a normal ticket | A padded central seat in the main stand with a clear view of the whole pitch |
| Tribuna VIP | Small groups and couples | Premium seating with lounge access before the match and at half-time |
| Tribuna d'Onore | Clients and celebration groups | The most central seats in the ground, close to the directors' area |
| Hospitality package | Corporate hosts | Dining, drinks and premium seats combined in one package |
Hospitality in Florence is usually more affordable than at the major grounds in Milan or Turin, which makes it a strong upgrade for a special trip. Package names and inclusions can change during the centenary year, so read the listing notes to see exactly what a ticket covers.
Hospitality also guarantees a covered central seat, which is worth a lot in January while parts of the stadium remain exposed. Arrive early, as lounges open well before kick-off.
For a group, hospitality also removes the task of piecing together separate listings in a sold-out ground. One package covers seats, food and drink, which makes planning a centenary-season trip with clients or family far simpler.
Italian tickets are issued in the holder's name, so delivery and entry need a little more attention than at many other European grounds. Know which method a listing uses before you buy.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| E-ticket (PDF or QR) | How the ticket holder's name is recorded; each code scans once, so never share screenshots |
| Mobile ticket transfer | The account or app the seller transfers to; set it up and log in well before matchday |
| Paper ticket by courier | Confirm the delivery address and dispatch date, and allow extra time for addresses outside Italy |
| Collection in Florence | Note the collection point, the opening hours and the ID you need to bring |
Read the listing notes carefully before you buy. Bring valid photo ID, as stewards can compare it with the name on the ticket, keep bags small and charge your phone fully if your ticket is on it.
The Franchi sits in the Campo di Marte district, around 25 to 30 minutes on foot from the historic centre. Firenze Campo di Marte railway station is a short walk from the ground, with frequent trains from Santa Maria Novella, and city buses run from the centre on matchdays. Driving is best avoided, as parking near the stadium is limited.
Plan the journey back before you set off. Crowds leave together after the final whistle, so allow time if you have a train to catch, or walk back towards the centre with the flow of supporters.
Name-based tickets deserve one more word. When a ticket carries the original buyer's details, the listing notes explain what you need for entry, and in some cases the seller updates the name before the match. Follow those instructions exactly, and keep your order confirmation to hand in case stewards ask about it.
Turnstiles usually open well before kick-off, and arriving early is the simplest way to avoid queues at the security searches. The streets around Campo di Marte and Viale Manfredo Fanti fill with purple shirts in the hour before the match, and the build-up outside the ground is part of the experience, so there is no reason to cut it fine.

Florence is easy to reach from across Europe. The city's own airport is a short tram ride from the centre, while Pisa and Bologna airports offer more routes and connect to Florence by train in around an hour. Mobile and e-tickets are the simplest options from abroad; if a listing uses paper tickets, choose collection in Florence or delivery to your hotel. Staying near Santa Maria Novella or Campo di Marte keeps both the sightseeing and the trip to the ground simple.
Book flexible travel and accommodation, as Serie A matches can move within the weekend once television slots are confirmed. Ask the seller before you buy if you need seats together for a group, and bring the photo ID that matches the ticket details. January in Tuscany is mild but can be wet, so dress for the weather, especially if your seat is uncovered.
Sassuolo's first visit to the Franchi in May 2014 set the tone. The newly promoted side won 4-3 in a wild afternoon, with a Domenico Berardi hat-trick undoing the hosts. A goalless draw followed in September 2014, and it took until April 2016 for Fiorentina to record their first home league win over the Neroverdi, a 3-1 victory that began a run of three straight home wins in the fixture.
Sassuolo struck back with wins in Florence in April 2019 and July 2020, the second played behind closed doors after the pandemic pause. Fiorentina have not lost at home to them since, with draws in 2020 and 2021, a 2-1 win in January 2023 and the emphatic 5-1 of April 2024, the widest margin in the fixture's history. Sassuolo's relegation in 2024 interrupted the series for a season, and their return brought a tight goalless draw in April 2026.
What sets this fixture apart is how open it has usually been. Only two of the 12 meetings in Florence ended goalless, and 37 goals have been scored in total. Fiorentina hold the upper hand, but Sassuolo have won here three times, which is enough to keep every home supporter wary.

For a buyer, those numbers point to an open game. The fixture has averaged just over three goals a match in Florence, and nine of the 12 meetings produced at least two goals, so a seat for this one rarely means a quiet afternoon.

The list shows how the balance has shifted. Sassuolo won three of the first seven meetings here, but Fiorentina are unbeaten in the five meetings since, winning two and drawing three. The January 2027 meeting will test whether that home run continues or whether the visitors can revive the form that once made them a difficult opponent in Florence.
No. A verified resale listing lets you buy without a club card or season ticket, and the listing explains how the name on the ticket is handled.
It can move within the weekend of 24 January once broadcast slots are set, so keep travel plans flexible until the league confirms it.
Visiting fans use the segregated Settore Ospiti, sold through Sassuolo's own allocation.
Bring valid photo ID, as Italian stadiums can compare it with the name on your ticket at entry.
The main stand sits under the historic canopy, and the redevelopment adds cover to other areas as each phase finishes.
