The Cheapest Way to Watch Serie A in 2026

Serie A is Italy's top football league, contested by 20 clubs over a 38-match season running from August to May. Juventus, Milan, Inter Milan, Napoli and Roma drive global audience interest, with the Milan Derby and Derby della Mole (Juventus vs Torino) among the most-watched fixtures. The league has split exclusive Italian streaming rights between DAZN (most matches) and Sky Italia (selected matches). Outside Italy, the rights vary widely: in the United States, Paramount+ has near-complete coverage at $7.99/month — among the cheapest "watch every match" Serie A products globally.

DAZN Italia holds exclusive rights to all 380 Serie A matches per season. The standard plan is €40.99/month with the Annual upfront plan at €34.99/month-equivalent. DAZN is the only product carrying every Serie A match in Italy. Sky Italia holds rights to three matches per matchweek (selected fixtures) and is available via NOW IT (the streaming sibling) at €19.99/month for the Sport Pass. NOW IT does not give you every match but is significantly cheaper for casual viewers who only want a few games per week. There is no free-to-air Serie A coverage in Italy. The Italian football market is essentially fully privatised. Annual DAZN at €419.88 (€34.99/mo) is the cheapest "every match" path in Italy, working out to about €1.10 per match across the season.

Paramount+ holds exclusive Serie A rights in the United States and streams every match live for $7.99/month (with ads) or $11.99/month (ad-free). This is dramatically cheaper than the equivalent Italian DAZN subscription and one of the best-value "top European league" deals globally. The 7-day free trial typically covers a full Serie A matchweek. CBS Sports occasionally simulcasts marquee matches on linear free TV. There is no English-language free-to-air Serie A coverage in the US otherwise. For an American Serie A fan, Paramount+ at $7.99/month plus the Champions League at no extra cost (also exclusive on Paramount+) is one of the best-value football streaming deals in the world.

Premier Sports holds the bulk of UK Serie A rights at £9.99/month or £99 annually. TNT Sports has occasional rights to selected high-profile matches (Derby della Madonnina, Juventus vs Inter) via Discovery+ Premium at £30.99/month. There is no free-to-air Serie A coverage in the UK. The £9.99 Premier Sports subscription covers most matches; for fans willing to miss the occasional TNT-exclusive fixture, this is the cheapest legal path.

India: JioCinema and Sony LIV split Serie A rights. JioCinema carries selected matches free; Sony LIV Premium at ₹299/month carries every match. Australia: beIN Sports Connect at A$19.99/month carries every match. Optus Sport does not have Serie A rights. Canada: fubo Canada at C$24.99/month carries Serie A. TSN+ has selected matches at C$8/month. Germany: DAZN Germany carries Serie A as part of its base sport tier at €19.99/month annual plan. France: beIN Sports France carries Serie A within the Sport Pass at around €15/month. MENA: beIN Sports holds exclusive rights across the entire region. Japan: DAZN Japan carries Serie A at ¥3,700/month. For every other country, open a fixture page on Matchcast and toggle the country selector — we list every confirmed broadcaster per country.

If price is the only consideration, Paramount+ in the US at $7.99/month is the cheapest legal way to watch every Serie A match anywhere in the world. With a US payment method and a VPN, this is theoretically accessible from any country (with the standard caveats about broadcaster terms of service). For UK fans, Premier Sports at £9.99/month is the cheapest legitimate option without VPN gymnastics. For Italian fans, the annual DAZN plan at €34.99/month-equivalent is the only "every match" option but works out to about €1.10 per match across the season — reasonable value for the volume. For casual fans who only want El Clásico or the Milan Derby, the Paramount+ 7-day trial in the US, the Premier Sports 7-day trial in the UK, or the JioCinema free tier in India can all cover individual marquee fixtures at no cost.
