Stadio Olimpico Tickets — Italy Rugby in Rome

Rome is the Six Nations away trip people sleep on and then regret. Italy home tickets are more accessible in price than the northern venues, the Stadio Olimpico is an impressive setting, and customers who've done it consistently tell us it was better than they expected. Less hectic than Dublin or Paris during match week, warmer in February, and the city does its own thing whether there's rugby on or not.

Italy have improved significantly in recent years and home matches at the Olimpico are no longer the foregone conclusions they once were. The atmosphere has improved with the results.

About the Stadio Olimpico

The Stadio Olimpico is in the Foro Italico district in northern Rome, built for the 1960 Summer Olympics. It holds around 70,000 and is shared between AS Roma, Lazio and the Italian national rugby team. The ground is open-air with a partial roof over the upper tiers. It's an older, more traditional stadium than the modern venues in the Six Nations, which gives it a different character.

Getting there from central Rome: buses run from Piazza Mancini (about 5 minutes from Piazzale Flaminio/Ponte Milvio) directly to the stadium. The journey from the city centre takes 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. Taxis are reliable but expensive on match days. The Ottaviano metro stop (Line A) is a 20-minute walk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Italy home matches are in Rome in 2027?

Italy host Ireland, France and Wales at the Stadio Olimpico in Six Nations 2027. Three home fixtures — more than most of the other nations that year.

Is Rome worth combining with the rugby?

It's the one we get the least pushback on when we suggest it. People who haven't been to Rome will go for the rugby and come back having had a proper city break. People who have been before are usually happy to go again. February in Rome is mild by northern European standards — around 12–14°C, usually manageable.

How accessible are Italy Six Nations tickets compared to other venues?

More accessible than England, Ireland or France. The Stadio Olimpico has a larger capacity relative to demand, and Italy's member allocation is smaller, which means more reaches the general market. Prices are also typically lower than the premium northern venues.
