If you’re trying to find where to watch Serie A on US TV, you’ve come to the right place.
Last updated: November 29, 2019
Although the Serie A doesn’t have the amount of fans as England’s Premier League or Spain’s La Liga, there are still plenty of Italian soccer fans here in America. Clubs such as Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Napoli and AS Roma have a very significant following around the world. In fact, two Italian clubs (Juventus and Milan) rank in the top 10 of Facebook “likes” among soccer clubs worldwide. Here in the US, there are multiple ways to get your Italian soccer fix.
Where to watch Serie A on US TV
ESPN+ will stream an average of nine matches live each week (more than 340 matches in total) from August through May, while ESPN networks will televise a Serie A Match of the Week on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNEWS, while some 40 matches will also be televised in Spanish on ESPN Deportes.
Also, RAI International will have the games in Italian-language via DIRECTV and DISH.
In addition, approximately 3-4 games will be televised each weekend in Italian on RAI Italia, which is available through the streaming service fuboTV.

Serie A. U.S. rights
As the domestic rights are up in air.
I am on Sling TV. Do you many games will be available on RAI international each weekend via DISH.
I can purchase this through Sling.
Great podcast BTW.

I’m pretty sure RAI Italia is only available on DISH and not Directv. It’s also worth noting that with the new contract RAI will only transmit 3 games per week.
RAI Italia and Mediaset Italia are available on Verizon Fios too
Also through SlingTV’s Italy pack. $15 a month.
I’m thinking of getting the Italy pack…and ESPN+. I’m guessing that the RAI commentary will be much better than ESPN.
Too bad BeIn lost the rights. I think they did an okay job…and I only had to subscribe to one service.
The IMG agency has confirmed it will launch Serie A Pass, a global OTT subscription service that will offer live coverage of every match from the top division of Italian football.
The service will be available from the start of the 2018-19 season on August 18.

The streaming service will only be available in Scandinavia.
I read that yesterday, but today their press release says: “Fans will be able to access live coverage, replays, magazine shows and archive programming in more than 20 territories worldwide.”

I think you may be confusing that with IMG’s Strive streaming service. According to the SportBusiness website the Serie A package will be available in more than 20 territories worldwide with monthly and season pass options.
The US will not be allowed to stream games from Serie A Pass.
If this is confirmed for the US, it’d be a horrible year for fútbol fans, with the leagues split in many different streaming services, the cost to watch the top European and South American tournaments will be ridiculous.
I can confirm that Serie A Pass will NOT be available in the United States.
I don’t mind NOT watching a game live- How can I watch a Serie A game that’s played?
Serie A games will be available on-demand via ESPN+ if you don’t mind watching them later and not live.
Do I need to pay for ESPN+ ?
Thank you Christopher for responding so quickly!
It’s $4.99/month. They offer a free 7-day trial via http://plus.espn.com
Is ESPN+ only showing 1 Serie A game per week? Is that the best place to watch Serie A?
ESPN+ is showing 9 Serie A games per week. ESPN or ESPN2 will show 1 Serie A per weekend.
Are the games being shown on ESPN and ESPN2 also being shown on ESPN+. the only reason I have DIrectTV at this point is for ESPN. But would much rather just subscribe to ESPN +; thanks.
The Serie A game of the week that’s shown on either ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNEWS is not shown on ESPN+.
ESPN DOES NOT HAVE A CLUE ABOUT FUTBOL THEY STATED THAT SERIE A DOS NOT HAVE AS MANY FANS AS THE ENGLISH PREMIERE WELL IT IS A BRILLIANT DEDUCTION FOR AN IGNORANT S RELUCTANT S TO ADMIT THAT FUTBOL IS THE NUMBER ONE SPORT IN THE PLANET SO WHEN YOU IQ IS LOWER YOU ARE LINGER TO YOUR IGNORANCE AND IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE .
NOW THE FACT THAT YOU ONLY HAVE ONE GAME PER WEEK SHOWS THE LACK OF COMMON SENSE . ON THE OTHER HAND.
NBC SHOWS ONLY FEW ENGLISH PREMIERE GAMES A WEEK
FINALLY THIS IS THE REASON WHY THE MLS OF FUTBOL IN USA IS CALLED THE
“THE RETIREMENT FUTBOL LEAGE
It’s nice to see you too.
Also, the match of the week they show on TV is not always the best Serie A has to offer. Empoli v Lazio instead of Napoli/Fiorentina or Juve/Sassuolo this weekend. Next week it’s Torino v Napoli, pretty good….except the match is at 6:30 AM! Would be better choosing Samp/Inter 2:30 Saturday or Milan/Atalanta 12:00 Sunday.
College Football is more important for ESPN than professional football. ESPN could have put the SERIE A on ESPN Deportes and installed the SAP option for the English speaking audience. They have the resources to do this, they’re one of the richest companies in the nation, but I guess greed always prevails. Yes, ESPN plus is cheap at the moment but I prefer watching the beautiful game on TV. Comcast in my area is offering RAI Italia for $10 a month, the channel has the SERIE A in Italian. I’m considering adding it to my bill. Football on TV in the USA is going back to the 1990’s.
As Gary Preston likes to say, keep the ball rolling, take care, bye bye.
ESPN Plus streams their games in 720p and 60fps (frames per second). The picture quality is actually BETTER than most compressed digital video on satellite or cable. Saying you “prefer watching the beautiful game on TV” is a wonderful sentiment but all it does is limit your choices. As I pointed out, the video quality is comparable to your TV (and the audio used by ESPN Plus is Int’l commentary which again is a plus). Also, RAI Italia is in SD on Comcast (pretty sure) so talk about going back to 1990’s.
Finally, with a FireTV stick, which comes pre-loaded with the ESPN App, is available as low as $24.99, you can no longer use the excuse that ESPN+ would be on your computer nor not affordable.
This I totally agree I think alot of people that gripe about ESPN+ have no clue of how good it is as you stated. A New Gen Roku stick can be bought online for as low as $20 bucks the same as a FireTV stick. It’s simply a matter of plugging the stick up to your 40in. and connecting it to your internet. You can simply change HD modes from Roku channel your watching back to your regular cable with one button if you are channel surfing. It’s just like having a channel and channel surfing. The picture quality is good. It might buffer once every 2 hours but it doesn’t last long and can be fixed quickly by hitting pause and play.
It would be appreciated if somebody can post the names of english commentators for the international feed for serie A. I am in Canada and watching on Telelatino.
