Serie A returns with Matchday 6 after a pause of more than three weeks for international games, and AS Roma enter the weekend in first place with a 14-3 goal difference. That gives their trip to Como a little extra weight, even before a ball is kicked.
The league slate runs from October 10-12, 2026, and the Como-AS Roma match is set for Sunday, October 11, at Giuseppe Sinigaglia. Kickoff is 6:30 AM ET / 12:30 PM CET. For Roma, it is another chance to protect the early lead they have built in the 2026-27 season.
Roma's position is still early-season, but it is also meaningful. The club has won three of its first five games, and the table is tight enough that every result can shift the picture quickly. Como, meanwhile, face one of the division's current pace-setters at a time when the top of the standings is starting to take shape.
Other Matchday 6 fixtures to watch
The weekend also includes several matches involving teams near the top of the table. On October 10, Inter Milan host Parma at San Siro in Milan at 12:00 PM ET / 6:00 PM CET. On October 11, Lazio meet Moza at the Olimpico in Rome at 9:00 AM ET / 3:00 PM CET, and Juventus visit Cagliari at Unipol Domus in Cagliari at 2:45 PM ET / 8:45 PM CET.
That grouping matters because Matchday 6 is one of the first checkpoints of the season. Roma's status as leaders, plus the involvement of Inter Milan, Lazio, Juventus and Cagliari, makes this a useful weekend for figuring out how the table may begin to separate. Even at this stage, the results can shape the tone of the campaign.
Como will also bring a specific tactical identity into the matchup. Fabregas has been described as wanting his team to play open, offensive football, which could make the contest more expansive than a typical early-season meeting. Against a Roma side sitting on top of Serie A, that approach adds another layer to a fixture already carrying real table significance.
