Where to watch Roma v Bologna: TV Channels and Streaming Info

A new era will commence at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday evening, August 23, 2025, at 6:45 PM GMT, as Roma host their Serie A rivals, Bologna, in the Italian capital. Under new management, the Giallorossi will face last season's Coppa Italia winners, with both teams looking to build on a memorable 2025 thus far.

After experiencing stagnancy with three consecutive sixth-place finishes, Roma finally broke this streak in Serie A last season, narrowly missing out on Champions League qualification. The 2024-25 campaign started with chaos, resulting in the dismissals of both Daniele De Rossi and Ivan Juric before Christmas. However, Claudio Ranieri returned as head coach and planned an impressive revival. Although they just missed a top-four finish to Juventus, the Giallorossi could take pride in a remarkable 19-game unbeaten streak, earning 49 points and achieving 11 clean sheets in 2025 alone. For the second consecutive year, Ranieri decided to end his coaching career and passed the leadership to Gian Piero Gasperini, the Europa League-winning coach from Atalanta BC. The pre-season began promisingly with four straight wins but included a disappointing 4-0 loss to Aston Villa. Nevertheless, Gasperini's revamped team rebounded, finishing the pre-season with an away victory over Everton and a draw against the big-spending Saudi side NEOM. After a busy summer in the transfer market, Roma is determined to start the Serie A season as strongly as they finished last term.

While their hosts have enjoyed the year so far, Bologna is still celebrating their historic Coppa Italia triumph from May. Dan Ndoye’s farewell gift to the Rossoblu faithful was his winning goal against AC Milan in Rome, where Vincenzo Italiano's men will soon begin another campaign. Bologna has been on the rise for some time, even participating in the Champions League before winning the cup. They have won their last two league matches against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico. Now aiming for three consecutive wins for the first time since 1939, the Emilian club is unbeaten in their last five encounters, whether at home or away. However, Bologna has won only two of their last 15 season openers. They ended last season with three straight defeats to AC Milan, Fiorentina, and Genoa, which saw them slip down to ninth place. Since they last lost four consecutive Serie A matches in 2018, Italiano will be particularly eager to start this weekend on a more positive note.
