The Serie A fixture list for Como in 2026-27 might look a little lop-sided, but there is a good reason why their first three games will all be away from home.
The calendar for the new campaign was drawn up today in a ceremony at the Teatro Regio in Parma.
The new season kicks off on the weekend of August 23 and will conclude on May 30, 2027.
Como start away from home
Some might have noticed that the first three fixtures all have Como on their travels, making it a tricky start to the campaign.
Those games will be at Udinese, Napoli and Genoa.
There is a good reason for this, because the Stadio Sinigaglia will be undergoing restructuring work over the summer, in order to bring it up to the standards required for UEFA competition.
Como have qualified for the Champions League, the first time they have ever participated in European competition, so the stadium was simply not prepared for this eventuality.
The club was in Serie B just two years ago, so in order to avoid possible delays or problems, they requested that the first three Serie A games of the new season be played away from the Stadio Sinigaglia.
