Inter Milan to host Shakhtar Donetsk at San Siro in UEFA Champions League on Oct. 21, 2026
Inter Milan will face Shakhtar Donetsk at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) in Milan on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, in a UEFA Champions League 2026-27 group-stage fixture. The match is scheduled to kick off at 22:00 local time (21:00 CET), which corresponds to 12:30 AM IST on October 22 in India.
Inter enter the game as the reigning Serie A champions but remain without points in this season’s Champions League after defeats in their first two group matches; they lost 2-1 to Real Madrid with goals from Kylian Mbappe and Federico Valverde, and were beaten 4-3 by Club Brugge in a match that featured a hat-trick from Nicolo Tresoldi. Shakhtar Donetsk have started the campaign more positively, earning a 3-1 victory over AEK Athens — while playing their home fixtures at Stamford Bridge — and previously drawing 1-1 with PSV Eindhoven.
On historical meetings between the clubs, Inter are without defeat in their last five encounters with Shakhtar, including a 2-0 victory in their most recent meeting in 2021. That sequence forms part of the broader competitive context ahead of Wednesday’s fixture at the San Siro.
Kick-off details for audiences are confirmed as 22:00 local time (21:00 CET) at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, with the match date listed as Wednesday, October 21, 2026, and the India kick-off time recorded as 12:30 AM IST on Thursday, October 22.
