What US outlet will broadcast 2016 Coppa Italia Final?
Thank you.
It was going to be NGSN, but they are temporarily down until this summer. So, right now, the Coppa Italia final is up in the air in terms of where it’ll land on TV or internet.
Hello Christopher, do yo have any news regarding this?
Right now, as of press time, no one in the US plans to show it on TV or streaming. But that could change between now and Saturday. As soon as I find more info, I’ll update this page.
GOL-TV bought the Coppa Italia rights starting with the Semifinals. The match will be LIVE exclusively on GOL-TV Saturday – 2:45pm ET.
Awesome. Thanks Ed!
Thank you both! 🙂
GolTV has Brazilian soccer scheduled for that time, NOT the Coppa Italia final.
Joe, Brasileiro matches on Saturday at 5:30pm & 8pm. Your provider probably has not updated the guide yet. The match is confirmed via GOL-TV website.
Hi you all! A simple question, what is the commentary language of fubo.tv matches? I know beinsports has a mixed Arabic/English commentary, does the same happen on fubo.tv?
Thanks Alex
For Serie A matches, almost all of the matches are in English language. It’s very rare that they’re in Spanish. They’re never in Arabic.
Do you know when they release the TV games for the January games including Coppa Italia?
We should know by late December. As soon as we find out, we’ll update the TV schedule accordingly.
Who has the Coppa Italia rights? GolTV did not show any of previous round, which included Serie A teams and NGSN is not around at the moment. It seems that Bein Sports have picked up the rights to the Supercoppa according to Live Soccer TV, so maybe they have them?
beINSports had the Coppa Italia rights in the past but did not renew for last season (2015-16). GOL-TV picked up the rights last season but only for the Semifinals and Final. Seems that no one has picked up this season’s rights (again) but wouldn’t be surprised if GOL-TV does for the late rounds.
As far as Supercoppa, it will be played in Qatar next week (Friday, December 23rd) and it will be shown live on GOL-TV (kickoff: 11:30am ET).
GolTV has picked up the rights to Coppa Italia for the Round of 16 matches.
Very useful! Thanks!
Hi, do you have any news on who is going to have the TV rights for serie A for the 2018-19 season, since the Bein Sports contract has expired? Thank you
No announcement has been made yet. We hope to hear something soon.
Not sure if any updates here? Given big transfers going on, assuming more viewers would be there for Serie A.
We should find out before the end of July.
Did ESPN or ESPN deportes get the Serie A tv rights I seen ESPN deportes using Juve tv to show cr7 arrival to italy
No they didn’t . They can broadcast Juve tv with permission from the channel . Not like Fox who would not let ESPN show World Cup highlights .
ESPN stations, usually ESPN2 or ESPN NEWS, has the rights to the Italian Serie A for 2018-2019. They usually show one game per weekend.
The first line of your article says “During the 2019/20 season, will carry an average of nine matches live each week”.
Between “season” and “will”, what is missing there? ESPN+? I’m guessing that’s it, but on their schedule, they’re not showing any matches being on + at this point. Thanks.
You must have an ad blocker turned on which is why you’re not seeing the words. I’d recommend switching the ad blocker off. We don’t have any pop-up ads or annoying auto-play videos.
The Serie A schedule is correct as of press time. The only thing we’re not sure about for the opening weekend is which one match will be on shown on television on the Sunday.
ESPN is showing a Sunday Game at 11:45
am In the first week, and Lazio vs Roma in the 2nd Sunday on ESPN2 at 9:00 am. But, no Juventus game which is a shame.
Didn’t see any mention of what the tv ratings were for Roma lazio derby on 9-1, it’s impossible that it didn’t make your list . Looking at the poor ratings of the other games listed. Please let me know what that rating was. Thanks
Is the Juventus vs Lazio game on regular ESPN or ESPN+ today?
ESPN+

Christopher,
I can’t yet find on the internet what Serie A games are on the ESPN stations (ESPN2, ESPNNews),
this season. The Serie A season of 2020-2021 starts the weekend of Sept. 18th, 19th, and 20th.
I assume that this season, like last season, that the ESPN stations will show one game each weekend.
Does anyone on this website know what the Serie A U.S. tv schedule on the
ESPN stations is for this September and October? Thanks.
Hi John, ESPN hasn’t made a decision yet what their schedule will be for the opening of the 2020/21 season. As soon as we find out, we’ll update the schedule on this page.
Thanks much Christopher., I appreciate it.
No Serie A match listed for today? Here or in the app? Again?
Paramount Plus will be the official home of the 2021-22 Italian Serie A season. A lot of questions need to be answered such as On Demand Service, Full Replays, Highlights, Shows, Pre-game, Postgame, SAP option in Italian, and Spanish, Commentators, CBS and CBS Sports hosting matches, and more. Thank you so much and Forza Napoli!!!
We need to see some matches on CBS and CBS Sports Network as well. I can’t wait for the Italian Serie A season to start. We need a Goalazo Show which I’ve been hearing is very similar to NFL Redzone in a way which shows a simulcast of all the different games on that match day with all the goals. We need this due to the fact the Italian Serie A’s success in Italy on Sunday morning matches were a success of Diretta Goal on Sky Italia which shows all the matches and all the goals switching from 6-8 different matches depending on the day. Paramount Plus need to find a way on how to make this happen. Thank you so much everyone and Forza Napoli!!!
Michelangelo, for the goals show i don’t think there will be any since there won’t be more than 2 matches playing at the same time.
for cbs sport/paramount+, for serie a coverage either in the studio or work in Italy, there’s one man if they bring him I guarantee without exaggeration he will get them “millions” of subscribers,
one man: james richardson.
please make it happen
Paramount+ needs 5 things to become perfect for sports:
1. Pause, rewind and start from beginning.
2. On demand availability immediately after the end of the match.
3. Multi-view and PiP support on AppleTV+
4. A new section on the main page named Sports. Right now you have to find it under ‘TV shows’
5. Multi-language capability
The investment to develop these should be minimal compared to the TV rights acquisition cost, and they should drive the % of recurring subscribers. They are already investing substantial greater amounts in offering theatrical releases to blockbusters and free movie tickets. Just received some from them.
Steve, Usually on Sunday at 9am or when the games are played at 2:30 local times their are multiple matches being played at the exact same time so this is the main reason why we need The Goalazo Show (In Italia we have Sky Calcio Diretta Goal which is very similar to NFL Redzone). This is a must for Paramount Plus to succeed for American viewers watching Serie A. NFL Redzone and whip-around from all the different matches would change the Dynamic on how we watch the Italian Serie A, Champions League, and Europa League. Matteo Bonetti is also a must in the Serie A coverage this season on Paramount Plus and will be likely since he left ESPN according to Twitter. It would be awesome if they could implement what matches will be televised on CBS and CBS Sports Network. They could create a voting system to determine what the fans want to watch. In addition, they could also create a voting system by choosing man of the match on the Paramount Plus App. This is a long shot, however, this could be an amazing idea as well. Multi Language compatibility is a must and Disney Plus has thrived on this due to the fact the all the viewers don’t speak the English or Spanish Language. By adding Italian announcers to this platform it could be a possible merge with Rai Italia which creates 1080p streaming as well.
Hi Serie A fans why is Paramount plus not telling us that the Serie A is coming to their network? Their is a lack of communication from Paramount. No information on their website, advertisements, etc. Paramount needs to add a live sports section on their service, a favorite team tab, Serie A avatars, group watching, pause rewind and fast forward on a live broadcast, Serie A button, favorite players section, Golazo show broadcast for the Serie A when multiple matches are being played, Italian SAP audio option and Spanish, Games being televised on CBS and CBS Sports Network, highlights, legendary matches, documentaries, announcers such as Matteo Bonetti, Phil Schoen, Alessandro Del Piero, and Christian Vieri, They could also work with NFL on CBS during halftime show some highlight and some announcers could join for a Serie A match and vice versa, Paramount could also be interactive with the fans and say who is going to win the match, who will score today, what match they would like to see on CBS or their network channel. Paramount has unlimited options on what they can do but the most important factor is they need to listen to their fans especially us on worldsoccertalk. Thank you so much everyone for your comments and support. So Paramount Plus subscribers and Serie A fans what do you want to see on Paramount Plus for the Serie A? please add you suggestions and comments below. Thank you so much everyone for allowing me to be a member of worldsoccertalk and the greatest football community in the world. Thank you so much once again.
I’m not happy about this Paramount + is so a bad interface, clunky, absolutely mismanagement, CBS is the worst channel, not at all a great Sport Channel.
So Serie A is here, no advertisements, nothing is absolutely the worst Communication, the only reason I know, I was looking in the Internet Serie A game start, and I found this, horrible news.
I can’t understand they downplaying Serie A so much, 4 in raking, and has the most American owners for clubs, Fiorentina, Venezia and more.
I know they will mess this up, just watch, it will happen!!
@Ivan, I was hoping ESPN+ would have paid to continue streaming the Serie-A matches. Never had any issues with them (app or tv). I’m worried Paramount+ will not meet the challenge, and force many of us to look for alternatives. Three years is a long time to wait for a new streaming provider. Serie-A must have been desperate to give the rights to a less than mediocre streaming service like Paramount+.
@GR- It’s upsetting but all we can do is pray to see what happens. It’s shocking to me that Paramount Plus still has no information on their website and this is very odd to me. How are customers supposed to know that they have the league. ESPN+ is doing an amazing job with their La Liga production and Serie A need to do the same. Serie A and Paramount need to work with Rai Italia to create the most authentic coverage possible. If Paramount didn’t figure this out during the Coppa Italia for their terrible stream their never going to learn. I hope that Paramount proves me wrong and creates the best Serie A experience ever. We need a Goalazo zone option similar to NFL REDZONE. Paramount needs something different to what ESPN Plus did and that might just be the trick to keep more subscribers. What do you want to see Paramount do for their inaugural Serie A season?
Matteo Bonetti and Marco Messina to Paramount Plus let’s go!!!!!!
@Michelangelo – I know that when DAZN (Italy) took Serie A in Italy that first year, there were a ton of complaints about their streaming service. I believe they have it again this year. I expect that we will see the same growing pains with Paramount+. At least ESPN+ had some experience streaming sports for a couple of years. In any case, I bought a Paramount gift card to see how the first couple of months go. My guess is that Paramount+ will not be able to improve in the next couple of days. They can’t get their streaming service right for the programs they currently show. I recently watched the German Super Cup on ESPN+ and it was smooth as butter (LOL). I’ll just have to give Paramount+ a try. FORZA NAPOLI!!
https://www.cbssports.com/cbs-sports-network/
Here’s a link to watch CBS Sports network live. Just sign in with your TV provider.
Forza Napoli!!!
@Christopher Harris- We need a Italian SAP schedule so we know what games are in Italian. Also any information about the quality of the stream it’s not as good as ESPN+
https://www.cbssports.com/cbs-sports-network/
If anyone wants to the Napoli game it’s on this link as well. Just sign in with your Tv Provider. All the Serie A matches are exclusively on Paramount Plus. FORZA NAPOLI!!!!
The Napoli match was never televised on CBSSN. I’m disappointed about this but at least the match was on Paramount Plus. Did anyone notice the stream for the Napoli match was glitching during the second half or was it just my internet connection. Forza Napoli ragazzi. We need more matches on CBSSN and also more Italian SAP option games since yesterday there was no option for any of the matches.
Cagliari Genoa Italian Sap Option Works
Torino Salernitana Italian SAP option doesn’t work however it shows up
Spezia Udinese doesn’t have the option at all.
And here’s the personal itinerary this week. Midweek domestic league action was a pleasant surprise on the schedule.
–
Friday
2:45pm Sassuolo v Torino
–
Saturday
10:15am Atleti v Athletic
12:00pm/12:30pm Inter v Bolonga and Koln v Leipzig (either not a priority, may not watch at all)
2:45pm Charleroi v Club Brugge
–
Sunday
8:30am PSV v Feyenoord
10:15am Real Sociedad v Sevilla
12:00pm Verona v Roma (local NFL at 1pm, may be multitasking)
2:45/3:00pm Juve v Milan and Valencia V Real Madrid (leaning towards the Madrid match as main, multitasking likely with 1pm NFL game as well for at least the beginning of this match if NFL not a blowout situation)
–
Monday
2:45pm Udinese v Napoli
–
Tuesday
2:45pm Atalanta v Sassuolo
–
Wednesday
1:30pm Sevilla v Valencia
4:00pm Real Madrid v Mallorca
–
Thursday
12:30pm Sampdoria v Napoli
2:45pm Anderlecht v Gent
Here is my schedule. This weekend seems less interesting than the previous one.
Sat
9:30am Bundesliga Potpourri
Sun
9:30am Stuttgart vs Bayer Leverkusen
3:00pm Mix Juventus vs Milan, Valencia vs Real Madrid and PSG vs Olympique Lyonnais
7:30pm Flamengo vs Grêmio
For me (west coast time):
Friday – Half pay attention to Leeds v NUFC & Celta Vigo v Cadiz
Saturday – Busy day until noon, so can’t really watch much…maybe a bit of Wolves v Brentford, though Rayo Villecano v Getafe could be fun, and Athleti v Bilbao definitely will be. Watch some of Villa v Everton on delay
Sunday – West Ham v Man U, then PSG v Lyon live and Juve v Milan on delay. For some reason FUBO is not listing the Spurs v Chelsea match on their web interface.
While fresh in my mind, here’s what I expected vs actually watched
Friday
2:45pm Sassuolo v Torino
– Yup!
–
Saturday
10:15am Atleti v Athletic
– Watched more of Genoa/Fiorentina than expected, but did see most of this as well. Underwhelming match until very late.
12:00pm/12:30pm Inter v Bolonga and Koln v Leipzig (either not a priority, may not watch at all)
– Watched majority of1st half for Inter/Bologna. No 2nd half and no Leipzig.
2:45pm Charleroi v Club Brugge
– Yup!
–
Sunday
8:30am PSV v Feyenoord
– Yup!
10:15am Real Sociedad v Sevilla
– Yes, but not actively
12:00pm Verona v Roma (local NFL at 1pm, may be multitasking)
– Watched 1st half and conclusion of 2nd half as result of NFL game was a formality at that point.
2:45/3:00pm Juve v Milan and Valencia V Real Madrid (leaning towards the Madrid match as main, multitasking likely with 1pm NFL game as well for at least the beginning of this match if NFL not a blowout situation)
– Had Juve/Milan as the main (Valencia PiP) and switched over to Valencia full for the last 20 minutes
Here we go! Interesting, only have 2-3 matches anticipated to watch this week on ESPN+. Heavy on Paramount+
.
Friday
2:45pm Club Brugge v OH Leuven. Maybe, don’t expect this to be a tightly contested match
–
Saturday
9;00am Spezia v Milan
10:30am Willem v PSV
12:00pm Inter v Atalanta
3:00pm Real Madrid v Villarreal
–
Sunday
9:00am Serie A, don’t know which match will draw me in most
12:00pm Lazio v Roma
2:45pm Napoli v Cagliari
12:00pm and 2:45pm matches have some overlap with local football again, but expect to be following these more than the NFL as was the case last weekend.
–
Monday
2:45pm Venezia v Torino
–
Tuesday
3:00pm Leipzig v Club Brugge. Know PSG v City will get all the hype, but want to see if Brugge can obtain points again and stay in the hunt to miraculously get out of this group or qualify for Europa.
–
Wednesday
3:00pm Manchester United v Villarreal. Wolfsburg v Sevilla also enticing.
–
Thursday
12:45pm Napoli v Spartak
Saturday:
Chelsea v Man City
Brentford v Liverpool
Sunday:
Arsenal v Spurs
Lazio v Roma
Monday:
Palace v Brighton
Tuesday:
PSG v Man City
check in on Milan v Atleti
Wednesday
Juventus v Chelsea
check in on Man U v Villareal
Thursday
Lyon v Brøndby
Celtic v Leverkusen
FC Copenhagen v Lincoln Red Imps (conf league)
Oh, forgot…
Saturday might check in on Real Madrid v Villareal, and Sunday watch a bit of Rayo Vallecano (Falcao is en feugo at Rayo) v Cadiz.
Eating my words about the Club Brugge match not being competitive!
Ugh, should’ve gone with the Feyenoord match or Genoa/Verona over Real Madrid/Villarreal. Inter/Atalanta was fantastic though and Spezia with a spirited effort vs Milan. Willem II mostly gifted a win by a dominant PSV. Hope tomorrow can measure up with today’s drama.
Just letting everyone know that the Lazio v.s Roma Derby will also be live on CBS Sports Network. You can also stream the match on the CBS Sports Network. Here’s a link for the channel just log in with your cable subscription.
https://www.cbssports.com/cbs-sports-network/
We need more matches to be on this network instead of just one match a week.
NO SAP option for the Rubentus-Sampadoria game.
Sassuolo Saleritana has an Italian SAP option alongside the Empoli Bologna Game the Udinese Fiorentina game does not.
uh why is there no Roma v Lazio derby on + ?
is just me ?
It’s there. Watching it now on Paramount+
@chris idk why but my P+ didnt have the live ! icon and only replay of early game. so bizarre.
Did you sign up for Paramount+ through Amazon, or were you watching via the app on a PlayStation or Xbox app?
Anybody here still have rai italia? I cancelled it 2 days ago. I haven’t signed up for the paramount plus yet.
I can’t see Serie A live anymore on Paramount plus . Mistery
@Elio You can find it under shows -> sports. It is not showing now because there is no immediate game in the calendar
Looks like a jam packed schedule, lots of Sunday overlap where I’ll be checking in, joining in progress, etc.
.
Friday
2:45pm Cagliari v Venezia. Early season match with implications for relegation!
–
Saturday
9:30am Wolfsburg v Gladbach. Can change if other matches at the same time become more interesting
12:00pm Torino v Juventus
2:45pm Sassuolo v Inter
3:00pm Atleti v Barca. Watch end if result still in doubt or join earlier if Sassuolo/Inter turns uncompetitive
–
Sunday
7:30am Anderlecht v Club Brugge
8:30am Ajax v Utrecht. Monitor and/or join in progress after Club Brugge match
9:00am Verona v Spezia or Sampdoria v Udinese. Join if Ajax match turns uncompetitive.
10:45am Vitesse v Feyenoord. Watch some of this as bridge to the 12pm match
12:00pm Fiorentina v Napoli
2:45pm Atalanta v Milan
–
Wedenesday
2:45pm Italy v Spain (thanks to Unimas)
–
Thursday
2:45pm Belgium v France (Unimas again, no ESPN+?)
@JP. What is the Match of the Week from Serie A that you’d recommend us to tune in to?
–
Here is my current tentative schedule for the week:
Sat
9:30am Wolfsburg vs Borussia M’gladbach
3:00pm Atlético Madrid vs Barcelona
Sun
7:00am Rennes vs PSG
11:30am Bayern München vs Eintracht Frankfurt (PiP)
12:00pm Fiorentina vs Napoli
3:00pm Chapecoense vs São Paulo
Thu
5:30pm São Paulo vs Santos
@Ra, you chose wisely with Fiorentina/Napoli. Atalanta/Milan at 2:45 is the other if your match from Brazil at 3pm turns bad.
@JP Will do – thanks for the tip. The Ajax game seems interesting too.
My weekend….times Pacific daylight
Saturday
6:20 Wolfsburg v Mochengladbach
9:30 Brighton v Arsenal
11:30 Atleti v Barca
Sunday
8:30 Liverpool v Man City
11:30 St. Etienne v Lyon (big time Rhone derby)
5:00 (or on delay) MSL LA derby Galaxy v LAFC
River Plate and Boca Jr plays Sunday at 2 EST. Boco fighting for a Libertadores spot. This match is guarantee a few red cards being shown!!!
The game is at 4PM ET
https://worldsoccertalk.com/superliga-argentina-tv-schedule/
It’s at 4:00 pm ET on P+, PrendeTV, Fanatiz. Definitely match of the weekend for me too. It will be special with fans being back for the first time. Personally, Atleti vs. Barca on Saturday just to be a masochist Barca fan and to yell at the TV.
You guys don’t post the “Matches of the Week” article anymore. This Serie A thread has gotten hijacked lol.
Yes, I forgot about the Argentinean clash. It is definitely a must-watch.
Here is my updated tentative schedule for the week:
Sat
9:30am Bundesliga Pot-Pourri -> Will multi-view the 4 games at once.
3:00pm Atlético Madrid vs Barcelona -> Want to see how low Barca will go.
Sun
7:00am Rennes vs PSG -> Will the trio improve? More Messi magic?
8:30am Ajax v Utrecht -> Ajax has been playing a very fine football
11:30am Bayern München vs Eintracht Frankfurt (PiP) ->always enjoy to see Bayern’s efficiency
12:00pm Fiorentina vs Napoli -> Who will beat Napoli?
3:00pm Chapecoense vs São Paulo (a non-relegation race) or Atalanta vs Milan (PiP)
4:00 pm River vs Boca -> a classic is always a classic, even if either is not in their best years
Thu
5:30pm São Paulo vs Santos -> Santos has been terrible this year. 1 pt above only relegation today
HATE international breaks, already looking ahead.
–
Wednesday
7:30pm Canada v Panama (more interest in this than USA v Costa Rica). But will likely be watching NHL anyway over soccer.
–
Friday
2:45pm Club Brugge v Kortrijk (if one of the ESPN+ matches from Belgium this weekend).
–
Saturday
9:30am Bundesliga (Dortmund, Leipzig, or Wolfsburg)
12:00pm Lazio v Inter
2:45pm Milan v Verona
–
Sunday
~8:00am-10:00am Eredivisie and Pro League. End of AZ Alkmaar v Utrecht and rest of St Truiden v Anderlecht (if on the ESPN+ schedule)
~10:00am-11:00am. End of 9am Serie A, whichever match most competitive/compelling.
12:00pm Napoli v Torino
2:00pm Real Madrid v Athletic (1st half)
2:45pm Juve v Roma (probably PiP with Real Madrid until 2nd half)
–
Tuesday
12:45pm Club Brugge v City
3:00pm Atleti v Liverpool
–
Wednesday
3:00pm United v Atalanta
–
Thursday
12:45pm Lazio v Marseille
3:00pm Napoli v Legia Warszawa
@JP, thank you for posting these. We follow different leagues (and get different enjoyment from international breaks) so it is fun for me to see what games you find intriguing.
.
If you end up watching NHL rather than CONCACAF on Wednesday, I would be interested in any feedback especially on ESPN+ (all out of market games?) and Turner (is there a Turner NHL app?). On Wednesday, I will be watching USMNT-Costa Rica and Canada-Panama followed by El Salvador-Mexico. CONMEBOL qualifiers Thursday afternoon and evening. Liga MX resumes this weekend.
@dave, regarding ESPN+ and the NHL. Had been watching some preseason on it, all out of market was included (provided the game actually had a local telecast) except for games simulcast on NHL network or TNT’s national broadcast. Looked ahead a few days on the NHL app schedule and checked the upcoming games on ESPN+, same situation with out of market and NHL network/national TV exclusion.
As expected, except for the NHL network simulcast exclusion, think those were included for NHL.tv and definitely on the NHL Center Ice package.
Oh well, still amazing for the price I would’ve been paying already for soccer coverage anyway!
Expect to watch Montreal/Toronto Wednesday night and Pittsburgh/Florida on Thursday.
@JP, that is great information, thank you. ESPN+ must be the best deal in sports right now. I have no idea how they can offer so much top-flight product – soccer and many other sports – for $70/year. But I sure am enjoying it!
.
Another question for you on ESPN+, is there a way to disable UFC PPV pop-ups? I get a little nervous about accidentally clicking the wrong place and getting charged $100 for a fight. I know UFC is a big driver for ESPN+, but it is not an interest of mine.
@dave, not sure about the UFC popups. Assume you’re talking about the mobile app, which I don’t use often. On Fire Stick and Apple TV it would be difficult to inadvertently buy UFC.
–
Last night’s NHL had many problems, problems not seen for the out of market streams during preseason, so must’ve been an issue with the ESPN produced game/stream. The Tampa/Pittsburgh game was very pixelated for the 1st two periods. Saw a lot of complaints online so wasn’t a connection issue, and other ESPN+ content was fine.
Others complained about audio issues (I didn’t experience), and choppiness on the stream (which I only experienced for the 1st period of Vegas/Seattle).
–
Hopefully they’ve worked out the kinks.
@JP, I didn’t have any of the pixel or choppiness issues you mentioned. I did notice that the arena announcer in the Vegas game was so loud that it was hard to understand what the commentators were saying. I watched the games on ESPN via Youtube TV.
@Barry, yes it was only an ESPN+ issue with the picture. While reading some of the complaints in real time through Twitter, people mentioned it was fine via streaming on ESPN if they logged in via cable credentials instead of their ESPN+ account, that it looked fine on ESPN via Youtube, Fubo, etc.
Everyone was complaining about the ESPN+ quality and mocking that the commercials came in perfect.
– Whatever it was got corrected for the 3rd period in Tampa and the Vegas game was mostly glitch free
My weekend (all or parts of):
Saturday:
Fulham v QPR
Leicester v Man U
Lazio v Inter
Lyon v Monaco
LAFC v Earthquakes
Sunday
Leverkusen v Bayern
Everton v West Ham
Newcastle v Spurs
Juve v Roma
Barca v Valencia
Monday
Arsenal v Palace
FYI, all three Serie A matches today had/have the Italian language option.
The Cagliari Sampadoria match has the Italian SAP option available
All 3 9am matches for the Italian Serie A have the Italian SAP Option. The only way I found out how to access this is the live tv section and then choose the Serie A game that you want to watch. Once you do that in the top right corner you will see a box called Audio, Choose the Italian Language. Let’s hope that the Italian SAP option words for all the matches today. Hopefully we will get to see an Italian SAP option for the Napoli-Torino Match. FORZA NAPOLI!!!
Also it’s a shame that CBS SPORTS NETWORK will not be airing one Serie A match this week. Very disapointing but never the less Paramount Plus is doing a fantastic job with their coverage and quality. Does Paramount Plus have an HD option or a 4k option for the Italian Serie A? If anyone has any answers to this question please let me know. Thank you so much. FORZA NAPOLI!!! The NFL is also hosting a match I believe at 9:30am between the Dolphins and the Jaguars.
I see that the Napoli Torino game has an Italian SAP option feature. Let’s hope it works. FORZA NAPOLI SEMPRE!!! Great job Paramount Plus!!!
Not having at least one or two matches per week on CBS Sports Network is a bad idea as it won’t attract more viewers to consider Paramount + for Serie A matches.
Look ahead to next Sunday everyone, blockbuster day of action. It’s almost too much and will have tons of overlap.
–
7:30am Royal Antwerp v Club Brugge. Top 4 clash in Belgium, Antwerp only 2 points behind Brugge.
–
10:15am Barcelona v Real Madrid. Loses it’s luster with Barca lagging behind, but still El Clasico!
–
10:45am Ajax v PSV. 1 point currently separates them, Huge for title implications down the road. Looking forward to this match the most of all.
–
12:00pm Roma v Napoli. Derby del Sole! Can Napoli remain perfect? Can Roma stay in the hunt (Scudetto but mainly top 4)
–
2:45pm Inter v Juventus. Can Juve continue their methodical climb into EL/UCL spots?
2:45pm Marseille v PSG. Know this is huge in France.
–
3:00pm Atletico Madrid v Real Sociedad. Biggest match of the day for La Liga, sorry El Clasico.
Oh, and 11:30am there’s Manchester United v Liverpool, if you like EPL 😉
Yeah, Sunday is a bit over-the-top. Did all the Euro leagues get together & decide to schedule their top league rivalry matches for this weekend?
Barca are lower in the table than expected but they have played a match fewer than most and with Ansu back and Coutinho healthy are finally starting to look strong up front. A few weeks ago teams knew if they stopped Memphis there wasn’t much else. Ansu gives space to others by being a threat, and by himself is dangerous.
If today’s Torino/Genoa match was West Ham/Leeds instead….”oh my what a thrilling match, EPL is amazing.
Since Serie A it will be met with shrugs from most 😉
Italian Sap option is available for the Atalanta Udinese matchup. Fantastic.
My dream is to see one Serie A match on the main CBS Network. CBS SPORTS NETWORK is doing a fantastic job by streaming two matches today and primetime matches. This is something that ESPN has never done. It’s beautiful to see the big clubs go at it on cable tv. FORZA NAPOLI!!!
I also wish if we had a golazo show for the Serie A since multiple matches are usually being played at the exact time (This happens mostly during Sunday 9am matches or Wednesday at times). Hopefully one day we will get this feature. We should be able to choose your favorite Serie A team so you can choose them as your avatar, game highlights, and updates as well. Any thoughts anyone on these ideas?
Both 9am matches have the Italian SAP option. The one way you can find this option is to go on to the Live tv settings and in the top right corner you will see an Audio box. Select the Italian language. FORZA NAPOLI!!!
So much hype for yesterday, me included, and mostly didn’t pan out.
–
The end of Antwerp/Brugge that I caught was good, very intense. What I saw of Verona/Lazio before El Clasico began was also good. But, El CLasico largely uninteresting the half hour I watched. Ajax/PSV was a very good in the 1st half, but became uncompetitive quickly in the 2nd. That was almost a blessing, as was able to watch Roma/Napoli from the start without fear of missing out on something in the Netherlands.
–
The aforementioned Roma/Napoli match was a cagey affair, exciting at times, but probably not much if you were a neutral. Inter/Juve was a slog for the portions I saw, in and out most of the match. Juve really are a joyless experience.
–
Atleti/Sociedad seemed like it was a good match from the recap, also caught ends of 1st and 2nd halves live.
–
As for that huge EPL match, over before HT!
@JP, yeah overall a let-down of a day. Funny, the lesser-hyped matches seemed to deliver; Nice v Lyon saw a 3-goal comeback from Nice in the last 10-12 minutes after Lyon got yet another red. Brentford v Leicester was apparently a good one.
1st half of El Clasico was good, 2nd half a snooze until the last 5-10 minutes. Roma v Napoli was only interesting for Jose’s sideline tantrums. Didn’t see any of Juve. Marseilles v PSG was quite good and of course featured OM ultras acting like thugs. Atleti v La Real was a fun match start to finish.
Don’t see anything “can’t miss” upcoming, Atalanta/Lazio the most appealing. So will probably be a great weekend of action with unexpected thrilling matches. But look, European clocks go back on Sunday.

Just a thought. Looking at my soccer viewing (expected and actual) for each week, becoming apparent Paramount+ is used much more than ESPN+ now, and ESPN+ would probably be in the “able to live without” category. Honestly surprised how little La Liga I’m watching now compared to when they were on beIN.
–
However, their NHL (mostly the out of market games) keeps them a must have. Paramount+ would be wise to diversify their exclusive sports offerings as well away from just soccer. Because right now, if they were to lose Serie A after 2024 and UCL remained available OTA through Univision, Paramount+ would be cast aside easily.
@JP, I’m there with you concerning La Liga, I’m surprised how little I watch too. I’m watching more French League on beIN than anything on ESPN+ except for college football. I have watched more Serie A matches this year because of Argentina’s league but I have noticed that TyC Sports on Fubo have been showing Boca Jr and River Plate’s matches (not in the TV guide). As far as NHL, my “local” team that is 2 1/2 hours away is almost always blacked out, even when the NHL Channel is broadcasting the game. But rumor has it that Bally Sports will offer a streaming package next year for around $25 a month, thinking I’m going to give it a pass also.
@Turfit, yeah my local team is blacked out all the time too, but less than 10 miles away so makes sense. But enjoying enough of the all the other games and getting my fill regardless. Carolina and Calgary have been my favorite to watch so far, but have multiple teams I enjoy following and can make do with listening to my team and catching the highlights later. For the playoffs will have to watch though.
Bally Sports is going to offer a streaming package of your local RSN? $25 seems steep, but if my local RSN offered streaming would gladly fork over $15 a month during hockey season. It’s really the only channel out of 300+ I was hesitant to lose when cutting the cord (no Fubo or anything either)
No games on OTA tv coming up? Shame, out of sight, out of mind. I thought the goal was to “grow soccer in the US”…I like jokes!
I mean, I will catch Roma Milan on Sunday, just not going to feed the corporate cockroaches.
Any match this weekend will be hard pressed to match Atalanta/Lazio for quality and drama. Exceeded expectations!
Leicester vs. Arsenal was entertaining from start to finish. I missed the Atalanta-Lazio game, but watched Hellas Verona (per your recommendation), which I’m glad I did.
Yes, Verona was great and just another bonus it was at the expense of Juve and we got many shots of a dumbfounded and forlorn Nedved in the stands.
Happy you trusted me enough to follow the suggestion!
The Inter Udinese match has the Italian SAP option
All the 10am matchups have the Italian Serie A option. Make sure you go into Live TV and choose the match you want to watch. Enjoy and Forza Napoli. NAPOLI match will also be live on CBSSN.
The logo for the Genoa match is showing the Fiorentina Logo.
Excellent match from Paramount Plus today. Keep up the amazing work guys.
Why if i watch the italian serie A games on roku is in italian language witch i like and if i watch on samsung tv or apple tv i got listen in english because they don’t have the sap?
@enrico- Make sure you go into the Live TV section and not through the actually Serie A section if you don’t do this it will not work. Best of luck to you. Forza Napoli!!!
Ciao Michelangelo ho provato poco fa quando e’ incominciata la partita tra Roma e Milan niente da fare solo con Roku c’e l’italiano ma con la tv no e ho notato anche che prima con la partita del Napoli quando la fanno alla televisione regolare e poi provo a vederla con Paramount non c’e neanche in italiano, grazie di avermi risposto e sempre Forza Juve anche se quest’anno facciamo pena lol.
@enrico- Ciao Enrico se compri il nuovo Chromecast con Google TV oppure anche il Amazon Firestick ci sta. Non tutte le partite ha questo opzione. Nel Sezione dov’e scritto Live TV ci sta il Opzione del Audio e metti la lingua Italiana. Se hai Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter, o Snapchat ti posso Aiutare. FORZA NAPOLI Sempre. Fammi sapere se vuoi un po di aiuto. Grazie Mille.
Weekend taking us into another useless international break. Only two matches “must see”….Napoli/Verona and Milan/Inter
–
Today
3:45pm Empoli v Genoa (maybe have on in the background, likely pass)
–
Saturday
8:30am United v City (for as long as I can stomach watching United)
10:00am Spezia v Torino
10:30am Bayern v Freiburg (usually when I make a point to watch a Bayern match with top of the table implications, they win 5-0. So might be sticking with the Torino match if that seems to be the case early on)
1:00pm Juve v Fiorentina
3:45/4:00pm Cagliari v Atalanta and Real Madrid v Rayo (might have one on in the background but likely pass on both)
–
Sunday
7:30am Club Brugge v Standard Liege
9:00am Udinese v Sassuolo
10:15am Valencia v Atleti (might check in during breaks)
12:00pm Napoli v Verona
2:45pm Milan v Inter
3:00pm Betis v Sevilla (check in during breaks)
paramount+ SUCKS
Buonasera Michelangelo come stai io bene senti ti avevo detto che con roku la maggior parte delle partite erano sia in italiano che in inglese .Ti avevo detto che avevo problemi ad ascoltarlo sia con apple tv e con samsung tv, ho fatto come mi hai detto tu, andare su LIVE TV e ho provato oggi con la partita Empoli vs Genoa e si ascoltava in italiano con apple tv wow ti devo ringraziare di tutto cuoreperche qua la domenica che ho i miei nipotini qua e difficile poterla vedere perche devo andare sull’altra tv per vedermi le partite non e’ che non mi piace il commento in inglese ma lo preferisco in italiano. ti ringrazio di nuovo e se ho qualche problema te lo faccio sapere. Ciao
Forza Napoli Ragazzi. Se qualcuno serve auito io ci sto grazie.
Another great weekend in Serie A. Napoli/Verona and Milan/Inter both great matches as expected. Udinese/Sassuolo was wild. However, were a couple matches that I didn’t expect to even watch that ended up being thrillers as well.
–
Empoli/Genoa (had on within an earshot) was a back and forth affair. Genoa very entertaining for a relegation zone club! Empoli not bad themselves, 1st time I’ve watched them this season. Then their was Cagliari/Atalanta, gripping match from start to finish.
–
La Liga also had some excitement. Turned on the Barca match right as Aspas scored his 1st and had it on within an earshot for the rest. Didn’t catch any of Valencia/Atleti live, but when I saw that score line made sure to watch stoppage time on the replay later.
–
Was watching Feyenoord but tuned out for Napoli and missed that stoppage time drama as well. Only 2 points off the top with a game in hand over Ajax and PSV (thanks to Ajax slipping up past two weeks). Great title race in the Eredivisie.
EPL deal is done, now let’s get back to actually watching soccer.
Know by now Serie A is likely to overtake any other match at the same time, even if I “planned” on watching the other league. These are all possible ‘games of interest’, not necessarily following them all. Depends on how other matches at similar time slots are doing.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Nothing more American than Thanksgiving day Europa and Conference League football 😉
Paramount Plus is doing a fantastic job so far with their Serie A coverage especially having an Italian SAP option due to the fact the Rai Italia lost the Serie A rights this year. The stream is fluid and perfect in many ways. However, it’s a disappointment that not all streaming devices have an Italian SAP option available to them. I’m using a pc and so far all the matches have an Italian SAP options and the only ones we know that won’t are the matches being televised on CBSSN. Excellent job Paramount can’t wait for the Champions and Europa League. Forza Napoli!!!
To me, what annoys me the most about Paramount is the lack of a decent rewind and the amount t of time they take to upload the games. Had to stop the Napoli game at 18″ today because of some errands. I want now (3pm) to watch the rest to no avail. The match hasn’t been posted yet. ESPN+ is definitely the gold standard of sports streaming.
Serie A bringing the heat yet again.
–
Fiorentina/Milan, insane. Bologna/Venezia, engrossing. Inter/Napoli, instant classic (even with the wrong result from my view!). Genoa/Roma, mostly blasé but then got to witness Afena’s coming out party and golazzo at the end.
–
We still have Verona/Empoli tomorrow, two under the radar clubs but immensely entertaining this year.
@michaelangelo do you have paramount+ premium ?
cuz i have the regular $50 a year subscription and IT TOTALLY SUCKS !
i cant even cast to a smart tv without it freezing after 5 mins.
Matches of interest this weekend, Saturday fairly weak and Sunday afternoon full.
–
Saturday
9:00am Empoli v Fiorentina
12:00pm Juventus v Atalanta
2:45pm Venezia v Inter
3:00pm Villarreal v Barcelona
–
Sunday
7:30am Genk v Club Brugge
9:00am Milan v Sassuolo
12:00pm Roma v Torino
2:45pm Napoli v Lazio
3:00pm Real Madrid v Sevilla (definitely PiP with Napoli, plus will be juggling with a fairly important local 1pm NFL game if that’s not a blowout by this point)
@bre and @JP- Paramount Plus needs to add a pause and rewind feature. Also check out on Youtube CBS Sports Golazo for Serie A highlights as well. They post them pretty quick their just to let you all know. Forza Napoli
is anyone having a weird issue with the Serie A section on Paramount Plus. Everything works correctly although every time you have to change the match you want to watch you need to go back into the Serie A section instead of changing it directly with the thumbnails which are missing. Is anyone else having this issue?
@Michelangelo, I navigated the matches using P+’s Live section and had no problems
–
Great win for Sassuolo! Keeping Napoli up top another round no matter what happens later to today vs Lazio (except a 7 goal loss)
Does Paramount+ not have pre-match studio programming for all match days? Do the streams just start when the global feed starts?
Is there a reason why there this no option to watch live serie A games on the PS 4 console? I see the option on my other devices but not the PS 4. I have deleted the app on the PS 4 and restalled it but to no avail. It does say “STREAM MATCHES LIVE” . But they are no games to pick.
The Paramount+ app on PS4 hasn’t been updated in ages, so your best bet is to watch games through a different device or log into the Paramount+ website and watch them through there.
I called up Paramount+’s customer service phone line with my issues. Here is what the rep told me:
– Paramount+ app on XFinity Flex received so many complaints about the Serie A live streams that they removed live match streaming of Serie A. I needed to use a different streaming device to live stream Serie A matches
– Live streaming on a browser with the strictest privacy/security settings will cause errors. You need to downgrade from the strictest settings to properly stream.
Not sure why there is so much excitement for Paramount+ to pick up EPL. Navigation is a bit hard to find live matches. You need to know which league is showing a match. Unless you add each league to your list, it’s hassle to scroll through all the leagues they hold rights to.
I’d say Peacock is closer to ESPN’s app. At least Peacock highlights EPL (and other big events) on the “home” screen – although Peacock is not perfect at doing that since some live sports will be hidden unless you search for them.
A year after my first trial with CBS All Access, I’m still not that impressed with Paramount+.
@MIB Fan, I had issues with Paramount+ in a web browser, it’s concerning when they want you to “downgrade” your security settings. Makes you wonder what else they are trying to track…..
I use the CBS Sports App on AppleTV device instead of Paramount’s App.
@MIB, so Xfinity Flex compatibility with Paramount+ (specific to only Serie A streams?) so bad that Paramount+ just decided to pull live Serie A matches from that device?
–
Common thread seems to be Comcast potentially discouraging viewing of anything not EPL. They did something similar on cable with beIN when they actually carried it. Not HD and not allowed to authenticate to watch online.
–
ESPN+ probably doesn’t have any issues only because of ESPN’s clout and Disney+, Hulu, etc on the same platform.
Comcrapstic!
Wow, Napoli seemingly playing better without Oshimen. Stylistically back to their 2017 Sarri era heights. They lose the great talent and target of Oshimen, but gain the interchange all over the pitch with the Mertens false nine. Best football I’ve watched all season (any league) these past two weeks.
–
Also, always felt Lozano should get the starts over Politano, this being proven the correct choice as well.
–
And right as I’m about to post this comment, Sassuolo scores….ha
F#%&*&!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matches of interest this weekend/week
Saturday full of great matchups, Sunday a bit weak. Only a few UCL matches that really mean anything. Have been viewing more La Liga again since the last international break, seems to be holding up.

12:00/12:30pm Roma v Inter/Dortmund v Bayern (will stick with Dortmund v Bayern so long as Bayern doesn’t have their customary 5 goal 1st half whenever I watch!)
2:45pm Napoli v Atalanta (could be Napoli’s last day top of the table?)

Thank you for the answer C.H. The app is just awful on PS 4. It is ok on the mobile phone and tablet. Their menu for live games just shows NFL/College football. I had to create the MY LIST to easily access SERIE A games. I will not continue with the paramount plus subscription once the free trail is up. I need to keep the phone or iPad screen on to watch the games on the big tv. And the soccer games come out letterboxed. Other apps allow me to turn the screen off while watching movies, cartoons, etc… and with no letterbox sometimes.
@JP: the Flex device is for non-cable subscribers….how do you draw that with your conspiracy theory? UCL, UEL, UECL, Brazil/Argentine leagues are fine to stream live. There are different types of bugs on the Fire TV app – want to suggest that Amazon is trying to discourage streaming of P+ too? Ridiculous
Xfinity Flex was offered to all customers – whether cable customers or Internet only.
@MIB, that was tongue in cheek although do think their treatment of beIN was intentional. You Comcast fanboys are very sensitive.
@Chris: but cable customers get an X1 box and wouldn’t need a Flex device
True, but they offer it to X1 customers:

Forza Napoli, Fantastic job by Paramount plus and CBS Sports Network on their coverage. I would love to see a Serie A match on the main CBS station it would be game chaning for the sport and also for Serie A fans as well. Keep up the fantastic work CBS stations and Paramount Plus!
Indeed Napoli reminds me so much of Arsenal, given me heart attacks trying to play out of the back. They got better in the 2nd half but a missing big time their 1st team players.
.
WTF was wrong with Paramount+ for this game, black out because of frozen stream many times during the match and I was using their app for Windows 10.
@Hans, lucky Mario Rui was out, the heart attacks are much worse with him.
–
I had the same black screen issue intermittently during the match and also during Atalanta/Roma yesterday. Also the volume for Dre and Matteo was inconsistent today. Too loud or too low. Didn’t have it for Torino/Verona (only other Serie A watched this weekend), maybe a problem when they simulcast with CBSSN?
Rankings of matches watched this weekend based on entertainment alone.
–
1 St Gilloise v Cercle Brugge
2 Athletic v Betis (unplanned view)
3 Club Brugge v Anderlecht
4 Milan v Napoli
5 Sevilla v Atleti
6 Torino v Verona
7 Feyenoord v Ajax (maybe with crowd would’ve been closer to Milan/Napoli)
–
Disappointed I missed out on Fiorentina v Sassuolo. Based on match highlights that could’ve been top 3.
Forgot about Atalanta/Roma! #6 over Torino/Verona.
@JP Thanks for the suggestions. Any recommendations on memorable matches this season to (re)watch during break while there are not many live options?
@Ra, thanks for the project. I’ll limit to Serie A and go by date (if any jump to mind when looking back). All caps the matches which immediately stood out.
–
8/21 Verona v Sassuolo
8/29 Genoa v Napoli
9/19 Verona v Roma
9/25 INTER v ATALANTA
9/25 Genoa v Verona

12/5 VENEZIA v VERONA
–
Also sure can throw darts at any of the Belgian league matches and most of them would turn out to be a decent to amazing rewatch.
@JP Many thanks!! That is exactly what I was looking for. I will save your reply as a watching guide for the break. I am reading Calcio, and I want to go deeper into Serie A. The book is quite good so far.
I recently read ‘Tor!’ and really enjoyed it. Reading now ‘Calcio’, and ‘Morbo’ will be next. It is enlightening to understand the culture and social-political history of these leagues.
@Ra, you’re welcome. If you have something similar for Bundesliga I’ll gladly check out a few during the dark days coming up where there’s only EPL for live matches! After following a bit early in the year have really fallen off, except for the recent Dortmund/Bayern match.
@JP The problem with ESPN+ is that they only make the more recent matches available. With that in mind, I recommend (from the newer ones):
* Hertha – Dortmund (MD 17)
* Wolfsburg – Köln (MD 16)
* Dortmund – Bayern (MD 15)
* Gladbach – Freiburg (MD 14) (1st half only)
* Union Berlin – Leipzig (MD14)
@JP Serie A will still play before the end of the year, right? Do you have any recommendations for the upcoming MDs? Thanks
@Ra, yes there’s midweek fixtures tomorrow and Wednesday before their break.
Nothing of note Tuesday but Verona v Fiorentina at 12:30pm Wednesday holds the most promise
Venezia v Lazio at 10:30am has potential, and Empoli v Milan at 2:45pm over Napoli v Spezia if forced to watch one at that time as a neutral (I’ll be on Napoli).
–
I just noticed that on ESPN+ regarding replays, score one for Paramount+, finally…..no longer a shutout in that mismatch
Four matches postponed today because of Covid and Napoli would prefer there’s is called off too.
–
For everyone who was citing the high vax rate in Serie A vs the lower one in EPL as the reason for EPL positive cases, it makes no difference.
–
Leagues need to stop treating positive cases as the end of the world and let players play if healthy enough, which the vast majority are.
–
There’s enough data now proving Omicron is less severe, time to move on.
–
Side note, what a clown show in Australia with Djokovic.
I think the disruption will be much less in Serie A than EPL precisely because of the high vaccination rate.
Been a long time without a full weekend.

–
Thursday
2:45pm Club Brugge v Union St Gilloise (huge match!)
Just noticed PSV and Ajax is on Sunday morning. That 8:30am match will replace the 9am Serie A. Hoping PSV puts up more of a fight than they gave back in October!
