How US Fans Can Watch Serie A Matches Free on CBS and Telemundo

Serie A supporters in the United States can access selected matches without an added subscription, with CBS and Telemundo’s broadcast networks carrying major fixtures in English and Spanish. Viewers can use an over-the-air antenna for local network coverage, while new customers of certain live-TV streaming platforms have short free-trial options.

Broadcast channels for Serie A viewers

The principal outlets named for Serie A coverage are CBS and CBS Sports Network in English, alongside Telemundo and Universo for Spanish-language audiences. High-profile matches shown on local CBS or Telemundo affiliates can be watched free on a television fitted with a standard digital antenna.

  • English-language channels: CBS and CBS Sports Network.
  • Spanish-language channels: Telemundo and Universo.
  • Antenna option: Matches placed on local broadcast channels can be received without a cable package or streaming subscription.
  • Cable availability: Channel positions for CBS, Telemundo and the other networks vary by city and local affiliate for providers including Xfinity, Spectrum, Cox and Optimum.

Streaming trials cover a full match weekend

Fubo and DirecTV Stream each offer a five-day trial period for eligible new subscribers. That window can cover much of a Serie A round, which generally runs from Friday through Monday.

Service Free-trial period Included Serie A outlets
Fubo 5 days CBS, CBS Sports Network, Telemundo and Universo
DirecTV Stream 5 days CBS, CBS Sports Network, Telemundo and Universo

Fubo also has a first-month promotion that can reduce the initial bill by as much as $30. Trial users should check the service terms and cancel before the trial expires if they do not intend to continue, as the plans move to a monthly charge once the introductory period ends.

Watching while outside the United States

Supporters travelling abroad who want to view the US network feeds through their chosen streaming platform may encounter geographical restrictions. A virtual private network can be used to access US-based coverage, subject to the streaming provider’s terms and applicable local rules.
