CBS Sports Finally Reveals Its Serie A Plans for Paramount+ and CBS Sports Network

After announcing they’d secured the rights to Serie A months ago, CBS Sports is finally revealing what their plans are.

CBS Sports today announced its Italian Serie A broadcasting schedule on Paramount+ and CBS Sports Network. The network kicks off its Serie A coverage on Saturday, Aug. 21, and CBS Sports’ coverage of the Coppa Italia tournament begins on Friday, Aug. 13, with all matches available on Paramount+. CBS Sports will also air a full Serie A studio show from New York beginning on Sunday, Sept. 12, broadcasting on CBS Sports Network and streaming on Paramount+.

Paramount+ will deliver more than 400 club matches live each season through 2024, featuring all 380 Serie A matches, at least 25 Coppa Italia tourney matches (including all contests from the fourth knockout round on,) and the Supercoppa Italiana match each year, that pits the winners of Serie A and Coppa Italia against each other. Select matches will be televised each year on CBS Sports linear platforms, including CBS Sports Network.

CBS Sports will also provide coverage of the Coppa Italia, the largest soccer tournament in Italy, with matches streaming live on Paramount+ throughout August. CBS Sports Network will re-air select Coppa Italia matches throughout the month and feature dedicated 30-minute highlight shows.
