With the Serie A resuming action in just a few weeks (June 20th), fans around the world are surely looking forward to seeing their favorite teams back on the pitch.
However, due to the spread of COVID-19, which started in Wuhan, China sometime in 2019 and has now since hit every single continent except Antarctica, it will not be "business as usual" once Torino, Parma, Hellas Verona, Cagliari, Inter, Atalanta, Sampdoria, and Sassuolo kick things off in order to make sure that all 20 teams have played a full 26 matchdays. Rather, there will be some stringent rules and regulations applied in order to keep players, staff, and others safe and to avoid the contagion from spreading further.
That includes, of course, fans not being able to go to the stadium, with games being played behind closed doors. As such, fans will be forced to follow their favorite teams from home, so the burning question is: Which broadcasters will be covering the rest of the 2019/2020 Serie A season in my country (or geographic location)?
Another two questions fans may have is: Have any of the broadcasters changed since Serie A went on pause on March 9th? Have any new broadcasters been added?
We have all your answers to those queries below!
For fans living in the United States, there are a plethora of options that are available, and none have changed during the three month pause.
ESPN, namely its sister networks ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes will continue to cover Serie A matches for the rest of the season in English and Spanish.
ESPN+ provides both live streaming and on-demand access for fans, also in English and Spanish via the ESPN App. In addition, there is fuboTV, which live streams Serie A matches shown on ESPN.
If you speak Italian, RAI Italia Nord America is an option for you as it covers some games - but not all - so you will have to check carefully with the channel's schedule to see if your team's match is on the roster.
For supporters living in Italy, the main providers are still the same, so no worries there. Check out DAZN, Sky Italia, and DAZN1 to follow your favorite teams. DAZN Italia is a streaming service for those who prefer that as an option.
For viewers in the UK, Premier Sport Media is the main provider for Serie A access. You will see the channel FreeSports under this umbrella as it's owned by Premier Sport Media.
For supporters residing in Canada, the status quo still remains. TLN and DAZN Canada are the main providers for matches if you don't speak Italian. However, if you want to follow Serie A with broadcasters like how fans in Italy get to experience it, check out RAI Italia Nord America, which will continue to show select games throughout the remainder of the season in Italian.
Do you call France home? Well, then, beIN Sport is still the place to go for Serie A action throughout the rest of this season. Check out beIN Sports CONNECT for live-streaming and mobile access.
For viewers living in Australia, the options in store include beIN Sports (and beIN Sports CONNECT for live-streaming access) as well as Kayo Sports for OTT service. In addition, RAI Italia Australia will be showing select Serie A matches in Italian.
