Serie A’s US rights moved to Paramount+ in the most recent cycle, after years on ESPN+. The shift bundled Italian football with the Champions League under a single $7.99/month subscription — the most concentrated European football package in American streaming.
For Christian Pulisic followers, that’s the whole story: every AC Milan fixture, every Champions League match Milan plays in, every Coppa Italia tie. One app, one subscription.
Upcoming Serie A fixtures above. Italian Saturday/Sunday matches typically run 9am-3pm Eastern; the late Sunday slot lands around 2:45pm ET.
Why the rights moved
ESPN+ held Serie A from 2018 to 2024 but didn’t extend during the renegotiation. Paramount+ — flush with Champions League and Europa League rights and trying to deepen its football catalog — won the Serie A package in a multi-year deal that pairs Italian football with the same UEFA properties that built CBS’s soccer credibility.
The continuity matters: the same Paramount+ subscription that gives you Inter Milan vs Juventus on Saturday gives you Inter’s Champions League Tuesday-night match. Two separate competitions, one app, one subscription.
What’s included
Every Serie A match (all 380 per season) streams on Paramount+. CBS Sports broadcast simulcasts the marquee weekend fixture (Milan derbies, Juventus-Napoli, Roma-Lazio) when scheduling allows.
Coppa Italia: every round, every leg, every final. Supercoppa Italiana: included. Serie A women’s matches stream on a partial schedule alongside the men’s coverage.
Pricing and the Paramount+ value math
Paramount+ Essential: $7.99/month with ads. Includes Serie A, Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, and the full Paramount+ entertainment library.
Paramount+ with Showtime: $12.99/month, ad-free for most content, adds Showtime’s catalog and live linear channel.
Annual plans: $59.99 for Essential or $119.99 for Showtime.
Paramount+ at $7.99 covers more European club football than any single subscription in the US — Champions League + Europa League + Serie A under one paywall is unique.
US-relevant Serie A storylines
AC Milan: Pulisic anchored the Rossoneri’s attack since his 2023 transfer from Chelsea, and his US-broadcast pull moved the needle on Paramount+’s Serie A acquisition decision. Every Milan match is on the platform.
Juventus: Weston McKennie’s Bianconeri tenure (2020-23, with a brief Leeds loan) put Juventus in the US-broadcast spotlight. He’s now back at Juve as of 2024 and his fixtures continue to draw US attention.
Inter Milan: defending Scudetto holders, Champions League regulars. Their US following grew through the 2022-23 Champions League final run.
Napoli: 2023 Scudetto winners, currently in transition under new ownership. Their European nights remain marquee draws.
What’s not on Paramount+
Italian women’s football outside Serie A Femminile. The lower divisions (Serie B, Serie C). Italian national team matches when in Nations League or qualifiers — those route through FOX Sports for World Cup-cycle qualifiers and various other broadcasters depending on the competition.
