How to Watch Serie A 2026-27 in the UK

To watch Serie A in the UK: TNT Sports is the exclusive UK home of Italian football, carrying Serie A live across its channels and the discovery+ streaming service. You can watch through TNT Sports on a TV provider (Sky, Virgin Media, EE TV) or stream it via a discovery+ Premium subscription, which carries the full TNT Sports lineup. There is no free-to-air live Serie A in the UK — TNT Sports (via discovery+) is the route to the matches. Check discovery+ for its current Premium price.

TNT Sports holds the exclusive UK and Ireland rights to Serie A and is the UK home of the Italian top flight. Across the TNT Sports channels and the discovery+ streaming platform, UK fans get the Serie A action — the Milan and Rome derbies, Juventus, Napoli, Inter and the rest of the division — live throughout the season. TNT Sports is the same broadcaster that holds the UK rights to the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Premier League matches, so Serie A sits within a broad continental-football package. For a UK fan of Italian football, TNT Sports is the single necessary subscription: it is the only place to watch Serie A live in Britain, with the channels' studio coverage and analysis around the matches. TNT Sports broadcasts on its linear channels (available through Sky, Virgin Media and EE TV) and streams its Serie A coverage through discovery+, so you can watch on a TV box or stream on a smart TV, phone, tablet or laptop.

The streaming route to TNT Sports — and therefore to Serie A — is discovery+. The discovery+ Premium tier carries the full TNT Sports channel lineup, so a discovery+ Premium subscription streams TNT Sports' Serie A coverage live without needing a traditional TV provider. discovery+ Premium is sold as a monthly subscription (with the option to pay annually), and it bundles the TNT Sports sport coverage with the discovery+ entertainment and documentary catalogue. For a cord-cutting UK fan, it is the standalone route to Serie A and the rest of the TNT Sports football. Check the discovery+ site for the current Premium monthly and annual price at sign-up, as the tiers and pricing are revised from time to time. discovery+ streams on smart TVs, Sky Q and Sky Glass, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, games consoles, phones, tablets and the web. Alternatively, TNT Sports can be added to a Sky, Virgin Media or EE TV package for fans who prefer the channels on their existing TV service.

No. There is no free-to-air live Serie A coverage in the UK — no BBC, ITV, Channel 4 or other free channel carries the matches. TNT Sports holds the exclusive UK rights, so every live Serie A match sits behind a TNT Sports subscription, whether through discovery+ or a TV provider. What is free: highlights and clips. The official Serie A channels, TNT Sports' own digital channels and football highlights shows carry recap content after matches, and Serie A's YouTube and social channels post key moments. But a complete live match is not available free in the UK. The cheapest workable approach: take a discovery+ Premium subscription for the stretch of the season you most want — a run of fixtures, the title run-in, your club's big games — and, because it's a rolling monthly subscription, cancel between. A fan who wants every match all season keeps the subscription across the campaign.

The route to every Serie A match in the UK is TNT Sports, either streamed via discovery+ Premium or added to a Sky, Virgin Media or EE TV package. discovery+ Premium is the standalone streaming option and the simplest for a cord-cutter; check its current monthly and annual price at sign-up. There is no free live alternative, so TNT Sports is the route either way. On timing, Serie A's kick-off slots are convenient for UK viewers — the time difference is just one hour (Italy is on CET, an hour ahead of UK time). The Italian slots of roughly 12:30, 3:00, 6:00 and 8:45 p.m. CET land at about 11:30 a.m., 2:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. UK time. So the early Italian game is a UK late-morning watch, and the marquee late Sunday-night Italian match is a UK mid-evening kick-off — prime British viewing hours. This makes Serie A one of the more UK-friendly foreign leagues to follow: the games slot neatly around the domestic football schedule, with the late Italian fixture filling the Sunday-evening slot after the Premier League games. A discovery+ Premium subscription across the season covers the lot.
