Paramount+ Streams All Serie A Matches, Including Inter vs. AC Milan Derby

For soccer fans in the United States, the Serie A season just got a whole lot more accessible. Starting in 2024, Paramount+ became the exclusive home for every single match of Italy’s top-flight league — including the electric Derby della Madonnina between Inter Milan and AC Milan. No cable? No problem. All you need is an internet connection and a subscription to Paramount+, which works on everything from Apple TV to smartphones. And yes, that means you can watch Lautaro Martínez chase down defenders or Christian Pulisic weave through defenses without ever touching a satellite dish.

How to Watch Serie A on Paramount+

Getting started is straightforward. Visit Paramount+’s website or download the app on your smart TV, Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, or Android/iOS device. Create an account, pick your plan — $5.99/month or $59.99/year — and you’re in. New users often get a seven-day free trial, which is perfect for catching the big derbies without commitment. The platform streams every match live, with no blackouts. Even if you miss the kickoff, replays are available within minutes after the final whistle. The service also includes extended highlights, pre- and post-match analysis, and exclusive behind-the-scenes content branded as "Champions of Made in Italy."

While Paramount+ holds the exclusive streaming rights, a handful of matches — usually high-profile ones like Inter vs. Juventus or AC Milan vs. Napoli — also air on CBS or CBS Sports Network. For those who prefer Spanish-language commentary, TUDN carries select fixtures. And if you’re a fan of condensed highlights, the official Serie A YouTube channel posts free clips daily — though these are snippets, not full matches.

The Derby That Stops Milan

The Derby della Madonnina isn’t just another game. It’s a city divided, a 120-year rivalry, and often the turning point of the season. In the 2024-2025 campaign, this fixture is scheduled for early December at San Siro, with both teams fighting for top spot. AC Milan, fresh off a Champions League run, is chasing its first Coppa Italia title since 2003 — a 20-year drought that weighs heavily on the Rossoneri faithful. Inter, meanwhile, is defending its league crown and looking to extend its dominance under Simone Inzaghi.

According to CBS Sports Golazo Network highlights, AC Milan lost top position last season after back-to-back draws against Lazio and Fiorentina — a slip that let Inter pull ahead. This year, the stakes are even higher. With Lautaro Martínez scoring at a 0.8-goal-per-game clip and Christian Pulisic delivering clutch assists for Milan, the derby could hinge on individual brilliance.

Who’s Playing, Who’s Watching

Paramount+’s 2024-2025 schedule includes 380+ matches, with marquee fixtures like Juventus vs. Inter (October 20), Roma vs. Torino (November 17), and AC Milan vs. Bologna (January 12) all locked in. Bologna, a surprise contender this season, is trying to replicate its 1974 Coppa Italia win — a feat no club outside the traditional giants has achieved in decades. Meanwhile, AC Milan’s youth academy product, Rafael Leão, has been named Serie A Player of the Month twice already this season.

International fans face a different reality. Outside the U.S., Serie A rights are held by DAZN, Sky Sport, and other regional providers. Some viewers use VPNs to access Paramount+ from abroad — a workaround that works technically, but violates terms of service. Paramount+ has made no public statement on enforcement, but streaming quality drops noticeably when servers detect non-U.S. IP addresses.

What’s Next for Serie A in the U.S.

Paramount+ hasn’t just bought the rights — it’s invested in the culture. The platform launched a weekly podcast called "Il Calcio Americano," featuring former MLS stars analyzing tactics. It’s also testing a "Fan Mode" feature that lets viewers toggle between camera angles, including the rarely seen behind-the-goal feed used by Italian broadcasters. A new mobile app update in early 2025 will add live stats overlays and real-time betting integration (where legal).

Expect more expansion. With American viewership up 47% year-over-year, according to Nielsen data, Paramount+ is rumored to be negotiating for exclusive rights to the Supercoppa Italia final starting in 2026. And if the Derby della Madonnina continues drawing over 1.2 million U.S. viewers per match — as it did in April — expect CBS to bump more games to its main network.

Why This Matters

Serie A’s rise in the U.S. isn’t just about streaming deals. It’s about identity. For decades, American soccer fans were locked into English Premier League content. Now, with its tactical depth, historic clubs, and world-class talent, Serie A is carving out its own space. You don’t need to be a Milanista or an Interista to appreciate the beauty of a 30-pass buildup or the tension of a last-minute penalty. This is soccer as it’s meant to be watched — not just consumed.
