Stop everything! Sporting's Champions League dates and times are out | OneFootball

Sporting already know the full schedule for their Champions League campaign, and there are several reasons for Sporting fans to keep a close eye on the coming weeks. Their European journey begins on September 9 at Alvalade, in a match that will mark the green-and-whites’ first test in the league phase.

The opener comes against Galatasaray - Rafael Leão’s new club - at Estádio José Alvalade on September 9 at 8:00pm. After that, Sporting travel to France to face Lens on October 13, in a match scheduled for 5:45pm. The third fixture will once again be at home, this time against LASK, on October 21 at 8:00pm, before another trip, this time to London, to take on Shakhtar Donetsk on November 3 at 5:45pm.

On November 25, Sporting host Manchester United at Alvalade in a match set for 8:00pm. A few days later, on December 8, the Lisbon side travel to Italy to face Roma, again at 8:00pm. The final two fixtures promise to be even tougher, with Barcelona visiting Alvalade on January 20, 2027.

To wrap up their league-phase campaign, the green-and-whites travel to England to face Manchester City on January 27 at 8:00pm. In other words, after beginning their run against theoretically more manageable opponents, Sporting will have to face four of the strongest names in the draw in the closing stretch: Manchester United, Roma, Barcelona and Manchester City.

Sporting will have to manage the first half of the league phase as well as possible to reach the final matches in a position to fight for their European objectives. The opener against Galatasaray will be the first chapter of a journey that will end with a visit to Manchester City.
