Maxima Roma is an Italian professional basketball team based in Rome, Lazio. The club plays in the Lega Basket Serie A (LBA), the highest level of competition in Italy, and in the EuroCup.
History Maxima Roma was founded in 2026. The club was established through the acquisition and relocation of the sporting licence of Pallacanestro Brescia by American entrepreneur Paul Matiasic, following approval from the Italian Basketball Federation (FIP). The transaction transferred Brescia's Serie A licence to Rome, allowing the newly formed club to compete in the 2026–27 Lega Basket Serie A season.
Although the club inherited Brescia's sporting rights and league membership, Maxima Roma was created as a new organization with its own identity, branding and management. The establishment of Maxima Roma generated significant discussion within Italian basketball, as it brought an end to Pallacanestro Brescia's presence in the top division after years of success.
In September 2026, former AS Roma captain Francesco Totti officially joined Maxima Roma's management structure as a senior advisor to club ownership, with responsibilities centered on strategic development, institutional representation, and community engagement.
