Fenerbahçe welcome AS Roma to Chobani Stadium Fenerbahce Sukru Saracoglu on Thursday, 10 September 2026, with kick-off at 16:45 UTC. The match marks the first fixture of the UEFA Champions League League Stage for both clubs, each yet to register a point, a goal, or a result in the competition.
Both sides occupy mid-table positions in the 36-team standings. Fenerbahçe sit 13th, while AS Roma are placed 23rd, with a points gap of zero between them at this earliest stage.
The form heading into the match tells a clear story. AS Roma arrive having won each of their last five matches, claiming 15 points from those five outings — a run that includes victories over Atalanta, Lecce, Fiorentina and Bologna. It is a consistent sequence that makes them one of the more in-form sides approaching this opening fixture.
Fenerbahçe, for their part, have taken 11 points from their last five matches. That run includes wins over Lyon and Sturm Graz, as well as draws with Lyon and Gornik Zabrze. Their most recent result was a 1-2 victory away at Lyon, which rounds off a period that has seen them competitive across a range of opponents.
With no previous Champions League League Stage points on the board for either club, Thursday's match at Saracoglu represents the opening salvo in what is a 36-team competition. Both sides will be looking to register early in the table, and the contrast in recent form — 15 points for Roma against 11 for Fenerbahçe across the last five matches — sets the backdrop for a fixture with clear stakes from the outset.
