AS Roma vs Real Madrid Live Streaming, Kick-Off Time & TV Channels Info - Champions League 2026

The Stadio Olimpico is set for one of its most emotionally charged evenings in recent memory. On Wednesday, 14 October 2026, AS Roma host Real Madrid in Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League 2026-27 league phase, and the storyline writes itself. Jose Mourinho, the man who delivered Roma their first European trophy in 61 years when he guided them to the 2022 UEFA Conference League title, returns to the Eternal City in the white of Madrid. This match thus is scheduled to be a blockbuster, with the prospect of the "discarded one," once accepted by Roma, returning to his old hunting ground in the pursuit of proving his mettle as “the Chosen One".

Roma are back in European football's biggest competition for the first time in seven years, having ended a long exile from the Champions League under the stewardship of Gian Piero Gasperini, who took over from Mourinho in June 2025 and immediately set about reshaping the Giallorossi into genuine title contenders. Their ambition this season is unambiguous: to not just participate in the Champions League but to make a run deep into the knockout rounds. Unbeaten in Serie A and sitting top of the table on the back of some stunning early-season performances, Roma arrive at this fixture with confidence coursing through the squad.

Real Madrid, for their part, enter this tie under the weight of renewed expectations. After back-to-back seasons without a major trophy, a stretch that prompted the club to bring Mourinho back to the Bernabeu, the Los Blancos are desperate to reclaim their standing as Europe's dominant force. They opened their Champions League campaign with a convincing 2-1 win over Inter Milan on Matchday 1, with Kylian Mbappe and Federico Valverde on the scoresheet, and head to Rome with three points already on the board and a point to prove. For fans eager to catch every moment of this blockbuster fixture, here is everything you need to know about AS Roma vs Real Madrid live streaming, kick-off times, and TV channel details across the globe.
