Serie A football is back on free-to-air TV in the UK for the start of the 2026/26 campaign.

The Italian top tier has a special place in the hearts of many British fans of the beautiful game and with a host of homegrown stars – such as Scott McTominay, John Stones, and Djed Spence – now flying their trade in Italia, there's never been a better time to get stuck in.

A busy summer has Inter Milan as favourites for the Scudetto but there will be belief at Ruben Amorim's AC Milan, Max Allegri's Napoli and Luciano Spalletti's Juventus that they can challenge.

Perhaps the biggest threat for Inter are Como, who continue to impress under Cesc Fabregas, and Roma, who have been reinvigorated with Gian Piero Gasperini at the helm.

The stage is set and Italian football always delivers on drama. Luckily for UK fans, there are plenty of ways to watch all the twists and turns.

Is Serie A on UK TV?

Yes! The Italian top flight has a special place in the hearts of many who grew up watching the Football Italia show on Channel 4 throughout the '90s, and now you can continue to keep track of developments across the league in the UK.

There's one streaming service where you can see all of the Serie A games, and that's DAZN. The global sports streaming platform will be showing all games (except those that fall in the UK blackout window of 2:45pm to 5:15pm), and even has exclusive rights to some fixtures.

TNT Sports will also be showing live games and highlights throughout the course of the season, as well as matches streamed live on bet365 throughout 2026/27.

But, of course, the big news this season is that 38 Serie A games will be shown live on BBC across the new campaign. A new deal will see BBC ALBA broadcast 19 fixture, with both Gaelic and English commentary, while a further 19 will be live on BBC iPlayer.
