Both teams finish their 2023-24 Italian season with games on May 19.

The CEO of Seven West Media WA Maryna Fewster said: “It’s befitting of the status of the teams, and the historic nature of the match as the first Serie A battle on Australian soil, that it will be broadcast live on Seven and 7plus, Australia’s home of sport, for those unable to attend in person.
“It’s great to have such big-name teams not only in Perth for the WA Day weekend but on our screens of Seven and 7plus live and free across the country.”
WA Deputy Premier and Minister for Tourism, the Rita Saffioti added: “We’re very excited to be hosting this match between two giants of Italian football here in Perth and expect tens of thousands of fans to attend in person, and even more watching the live broadcast all over the world, putting Western Australia on the global stage once again.
“This match is definitely not one to miss, and I encourage those who aren’t able to attend in person to tune in to the broadcast to watch what is sure to be yet another blockbuster football match hosted in our beautiful city.”
The historic rivalry has been contested 190 times in Italy since 1927 with Milan recording 85 victories against Roma’s 45 with 54 draws.
