Napoli to host Como at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Serie A second matchday on Aug 30
Napoli will host Como at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday, August 30, with kick-off scheduled for 10 p.m. IST, in a Serie A 2026-27 second matchday fixture.
Napoli arrive having finished last season as runners-up, having failed to defend the Scudetto and captured the Supercoppa Italiana, and the club has won its opening league game at the Maradona in 10 consecutive seasons. Como, described in the report as Italy’s fastest-rising team, opened the campaign with a 1-1 draw at Udine, with Tasos Douvikas scoring the equaliser. Restoration work at Stadio Sinigaglia means Cesc Fàbregas’s men are scheduled for another away game in Naples.
Napoli will aim to continue their successful starts at home while Como travel with a strong recent road record, having lost just one of their previous 12 league matches away from home. The Como squad will therefore face the challenge of maintaining that form in a fixture played away from their own stadium. The match represents an early-season test for both sides on matchday two of the Serie A season.
The club’s matchday announcement lists the venue as Stadio Diego Armando Maradona and gives the kick-off time as 18:30 CEST, corresponding to the 10 p.m. IST start. The fixture is scheduled to take place in Italy at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday, August 30.
Broadcast arrangements for the contest are: Zee5 and the Unite8 Sports TV channel in India; DAZN in the United Kingdom; DAZN and Sky Italia in the host nation; and Paramount+ in the United States of America. These platforms are listed as the live viewing options for fans in the respective territories.
League positions heading into the game place Napoli seventh in the table and Como 13th. For live updates and further coverage, the source advises following Khel Now on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, downloading the Khel Now Android or iOS app, or joining their community on Telegram.
