The city of Rome will once again become a battlefield when Lazio meets AS Roma in the Derby della Capitale on Saturday, 21 September 2025. The match is set for a 10:30 UTC kick‑off (6:30 AM EDT), meaning US viewers will have to rise early to catch the live drama. Both clubs share the Stadio Olimpico, but the atmosphere on derby day is anything but shared – it’s a fierce clash of identities, styles, and bragging rights.
How to watch the Derby online
If you’re based in the United States, you have two main streaming doors to walk through. Lazio vs AS Roma live will be streamed in real time on Prime Video, which is part of the Amazon Prime subscription bundle. For those who prefer a different platform, Paramount+ also carries the broadcast, giving fans a second chance to tune in without juggling accounts.
- Prime Video – live feed from 6:30 AM EDT; requires an active Amazon Prime membership.
- Paramount+ – live feed plus a full‑match replay option for later viewing; subscription needed.
Both services should be accessible via web browsers, smart TV apps, smartphones, and tablets. If you miss the early‑morning slot, Paramount+ keeps the whole match on demand for a limited time, which is a lifesaver for anyone who can’t make the live start.
Match preview: stakes, form and players to watch
On paper, the derby looks like a classic underdog story. Roma sit comfortably in fourth place after three rounds, their recent performances marked by solid defensive work and a midfield that can dictate tempo. Lazio, meanwhile, linger around 13th, struggling to find consistency after a mixed start to the season. The points on offer could tighten the race for European spots for Roma, while a win for Lazio would inject much‑needed confidence.
Odds offered by major bookmakers place Roma as slight favorites, reflecting their higher league standing, but the derby’s history shows that form can be knocked sideways by passion. Both sides have a knack for producing moments of magic when the city’s pride is on the line.
Key names to keep an eye on include Roma’s midfield maestro Lorenzo Pellegrini, whose vision and drive often spark attacking moves. He’ll be looking to thread passes to the likes of Tammy Abraham or Paulo Dybala, should the striker be fit. On the Lazio side, the attacking trio of Ciro Immobile, Adam Marušić and an in‑form Federico Di Francesco form the core threat, each capable of turning a half‑chance into a goal.
Tactically, both coaches tend to favor a high‑pressing style, but Roma’s manager may opt for a slightly more measured build‑up, exploiting space on the wings. Lazio, eager to climb the table, could press aggressively from the outset, hoping to force errors and capitalize on set‑pieces.
The Stadio Olimpico is expected to roar with a sea of blue and yellow, the city’s colors painting the stands. Past derbies have delivered fireworks – from last‑minute winners to heated confrontations – and this meeting promises to add another chapter to that storied rivalry.
International fans should check local listings, as broadcasters vary by region. In many European markets, the match will air on the official Serie A streaming partner, while Asian audiences may rely on regional sports packages. Regardless of where you are, a stable internet connection and a subscription to the listed platforms will secure your seat in the virtual stadium.
Beyond the three points, the Derby della Capitale is about pride, identity and the sheer joy of watching two fierce rivals battle under one roof. Whether you’re a die‑hard fan of the capital’s clubs or a neutral lover of Italian football, the early‑morning showdown offers a perfect snapshot of Serie A’s passion, unpredictability and drama.

Why are we still talking about this? It's just another boring derby. I've seen 20 of these. Same players, same drama, same boring 1-0 win. 😴

Let’s be clear: the only reason this match matters is because it’s the last true expression of Italian football’s soul before the billionaires fully colonize Serie A. Roma’s midfield, disciplined and tactical, represents the last bastion of intelligent play - while Lazio? A glorified glorified Premier League B-team with too many tattoos and not enough discipline. The Stadio Olimpico isn’t just a stadium; it’s a cathedral of resistance. And if you think Amazon Prime is the real story here, you’re missing the entire point - this is about identity, not subscription tiers.

I’ve noticed that every time these two teams play, the security footage gets mysteriously deleted. Coincidence? I think not. I’ve analyzed the patterns - every derby, three cameras fail. Always. And guess what? The same company handles the streaming for both Prime Video and Paramount+. Who owns that company? Who benefits? I’m not saying it’s rigged... but I’m not *not* saying it’s rigged.

Actually, Lazio’s form is better than they’re letting on. You’re all just biased because Roma has more social media clout. I’ve watched every minute of their last three games. They’ve been unlucky. Very unlucky.

I SWEAR TO GOD if Dybala doesn’t start, I’m burning my Roma scarf. I’ve had this scarf since 2017 and I’ve worn it to every derby. I’ve cried during every loss. I’ve screamed during every goal. And now? They’re talking about him being ‘fit’? Fit?! He’s a GOD. He’s a myth. He’s a walking legend wrapped in a jersey. I’m not watching if he’s on the bench. I’m not. I’m. Watching.

I just want to say - no matter who wins - the fans deserve better than this. The way we treat each other after these matches... it’s sad. We’re all just people who love football. I’ve met Roma fans in Tokyo, Lazio fans in Chicago. We share stories, not hatred. Let’s just enjoy the game. For once.

Let’s cut through the noise: Prime Video is the only legit option. Paramount+? Please. Their stream buffers like it’s 2012. And if you’re in the US and you’re not using a VPN to get the Italian feed, you’re doing it wrong. The commentary is 10x better in Italian. Plus, you get the actual crowd noise - not that canned ESPN nonsense. Also, Lazio’s high press is a joke. They’re just running in circles. Roma’s midfield control will dismantle them by the 30th minute.

you know what? i think we all just need to chill a little. like... really. it’s a game. it’s a beautiful, messy, loud, emotional game. i’ve watched lazio win with a last-minute corner and roma win with a bicycle kick. i’ve cried. i’ve danced. i’ve screamed at my tv at 5am. and guess what? none of it matters if we forget to be kind to each other. you don’t have to hate someone to love your team. you can love your team AND wish the other side well. it’s possible. i promise. 🌈💛💙

The notion that this is a 'derby' is a Western construct. In Nigeria, we have derbies where entire neighborhoods are divided - and no one watches on Prime Video. We watch on dusty TVs with generators. The passion is real. The stakes are real. This? This is corporate theater. The Stadio Olimpico? More like a sponsored lounge. The players are paid more than the GDP of some African nations. The real derby is between the people and the commodification of sport.

I’m not even mad. I’m just disappointed. 😔 You all think this is about football? Nah. It’s about who gets to control the narrative. Who owns the ads? Who gets the merch? Who gets the algorithm boost? Lazio fans are being gaslit into thinking they’re underdogs. Roma fans are being sold a fantasy. And Amazon? They’re laughing all the way to the bank. 🤑 #DerbyOfCapitalism

I’ve traveled to Rome three times just to stand in the stands during this match. I don’t care who wins. What matters is the silence between the chants - the shared breath of 70,000 people holding it as the ball rolls toward goal. That’s the real drama. Not the streaming service. Not the odds. Not the headlines. Just... the silence. And then - the roar. That’s what I come for.
