Serie A serves up 380 matches across a season, from the Milan derby to Napoli's title chase, and not a single one lands on Australian free-to-air television.

If you want to follow Italy's top flight from down under, you need to know exactly where to look. Here's the full rundown on watching Serie A in Australia, plus how to stream matches on Sportsbet while you have a punt.

Where to Watch Serie A in Australia

Serie A is not shown on any of Australia's free-to-air networks. Seven, Nine, Ten, the ABC and SBS do not carry the league, so a subscription is the only way to catch live coverage.

The exclusive home of Serie A in Australia is beIN Sports: the Qatari-owned broadcaster holds the rights to every match, showing up to 10 live games in every round and all 380 fixtures across the season live and on demand.

beIN also carries the Bundesliga, Ligue 1, the EFL and a swag of tennis, so a subscription opens up plenty beyond the Italian action.

One thing to note for anyone with an old setup: beIN Sports left Foxtel and Kayo back in 2023. 

You will not find Serie A on either platform anymore, so the ways to watch have changed since the beIN channels last sat in the Foxtel guide.

Your beIN Sports Options

There are three main ways to get beIN Sports in Australia.

beIN Sports Connect is the broadcaster's own streaming service and the most direct route. You can watch on your phone, tablet, laptop, smart TV or through the app.

A monthly pass runs at around AU$15.99, while an annual subscription comes in near AU$149.99, and new customers can usually take a seven-day free trial for a look before committing.

Amazon Prime Video offers beIN Sports as an add-on channel. If you already run a Prime membership, you can bolt beIN on and watch Serie A through the Prime app you are used to, no separate login required.

Fetch TV carries beIN Sports as part of its premium channel packs, which suits punters who prefer their sport through a set-top box alongside the rest of their entertainment.

All three deliver the same live Serie A coverage, so the right pick comes down to how you already watch your sport and which billing option lands best.

When Is Serie A On?

The Serie A season typically runs from August through to May, with matches spread across the weekend and into midweek rounds

The time difference is the catch for Aussie fans. Most fixtures kick off in the evening in Italy, which lands in the early hours of the morning on the east coast of Australia.

Weekend matches and the occasional lunchtime kick-off in Italy give punters a friendlier window, but the marquee Sunday night games are firmly one for the night owls or the early risers. 

Check the round-by-round schedule and set the alarm accordingly.

How to Stream Serie A on Sportsbet

Here is the part plenty of punters miss. Sportsbet live streams a huge range of sport directly through the app and website, and Italian Serie A is on the list.

It sits alongside more than 100 leagues and competitions across soccer, basketball, tennis, cricket, American sports and more, so you can follow your bet in real time without leaving the page.

Streaming on Sportsbet is straightforward. Here is how it works:

• Step 1: Download the Sportsbet app or head to the Sportsbet website.
• Step 2: Set up your account or log in.
• Step 3: Make sure you have a positive balance or have placed a bet in the last 24 hours.
• Step 4: Select the sport, league and then the Serie A game you want to stream.
• Step 5: Click the Watch Live icon on the betting page for that game.
• Step 6: Enjoy the match.

That eligibility step matters. To unlock the live stream you need funds in your account or a bet placed within the previous 24 hours, so line up your wager before kick-off and the vision comes with it.

Streaming options do change through the year and can become unavailable, so it is worth checking the specific fixture in the app.

Serie A Betting on Sportsbet

Once you are set up to watch, Serie A gives punters plenty to work with. 

Head-to-head results, both teams to score, correct score, first goalscorer and a wall of Same Game Multi options are all in play across every round, and the top-of-the-table clashes tend to bring the deepest markets.

Serie A rewards punters who dig into the detail. Italian football leans defensive and tactical, so form, injuries and fixture congestion often tell you more than a league ladder does.
