Serie A Betting
Milan vs Como will be played at San Siro on the first available midweek date after the plan to stage the Serie A match in Perth, Australia was called off.
The fixture was originally set for the weekend of February 7 to 8, 2026, but San Siro is unavailable because of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony schedule around February 6. If you want to learn more about Serie A we suggest reading our Serie A Betting Guide.

Why Perth Got Ruled Out
Lega Serie A and the Government of Western Australia had pushed the idea of hosting the first major European league match abroad for points. That dream ended when both parties agreed to cancel the plan.
The joint messaging points to three blockers:
- Financial exposure that could not be contained
- Onerous approval conditions
- Last-minute complications outside their control
So the “Perth weekend” slot is gone. The match now becomes a classic reschedule problem in a stadium share that also includes Inter’s Champions League calendar.
Key Facts
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Match | Milan vs Como |
| Original slot | Weekend of Feb 7 to 8, 2026 |
| Perth plan status | Cancelled by mutual agreement |
| New venue | San Siro |
| What Lega Serie A said | “First available date” at San Siro |
| Main constraint | San Siro availability plus Inter’s Champions League use |
When Could Milan vs Como Be Played?
The league’s current plan is simple: pick the earliest Wednesday when San Siro is free from Inter’s Champions League home match obligations. Milan’s Coppa Italia exit also frees space in their schedule, which helps the league move faster. Italian reporting has framed two realistic dates.
| Date | What Needs To Be True | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Feb 17, 2026 | Inter avoids a San Siro home tie that week | Earliest clean slot |
| Feb 24, 2026 | Inter has a home commitment that blocks Feb 17 | One-week delay |
What This Changes For Bettors
This switch matters because it changes the variables that actually move match outcomes.
No long-haul travel factor
A Perth game would have been weird football. Climate, pitch feel, jet lag planning, media week chaos, and a “tour event” vibe can mess with normal prep. With San Siro confirmed, you get a normal Serie A environment again.
Fixture congestion becomes the real edge
The date lands midweek, which usually means rotation, narrower prep time, and sharper variance in lineups. Watch:
- Who starts after the weekend match before it
- Whether either team has key players managing minutes
- Any late injury updates that show up because of the compressed calendar
Market timing will get messy
Odds tend to move twice on rescheduled games:
- First wave: when the date looks “likely”
- Second wave: when the official date drops and the surrounding fixtures become clear
If you bet early, you are betting schedule guesses. If you bet late, you are paying for certainty.
The Bottom Line
The Perth plan is dead. Milan vs Como is back at San Siro, and the date will land on the first open Wednesday that clears Inter’s Champions League stadium use. Feb 17 is the first target, with Feb 24 as the fallback.
