In this article, KMSoccer will dive into whether TNT have Serie A rights—explaining where you can watch Italy’s top league, what’s changing soon, and what’s best for fans in different countries.
What is TNT Sports & their deal with Serie A
TNT Sports in the UK and Ireland has held rights to broadcast Serie A. Under their deal, they air a limited number of matches.
Key points:
- TNT extended its media rights with Serie A in the UK through the 2026–27 season. orticos)
- The deal does not cover every Serie A match. TNT shows only a few selected games each round—around two matches.
- For the 2024–25 season, TNT has been part of a setup that shares rights with other platforms like OneFootball, which provide more comprehensive coverage.
How the coverage stacks up
To understand whether TNT has “Serie A”, we need to compare what they offer vs what other broadcasters do.
| Feature | TNT Sports UK & Ireland | Other platforms (OneFootball, DAZN, etc.) |
| # of games per matchday | ~2 selected live games per round via TNT | Many more |
| Exclusive rights | Some matches exclusive to TNT; others are non-exclusive or shared | More exclusivity via streaming for full rounds via platforms like DAZN and OneFootball |
| Duration of contract | Valid through 2026-27 for selected matches in UK & Ireland | New rights deals are being shifted toward greater streaming coverage; DAZN acquiring more rights for 2025-26 onward in UK & Ireland |
Recent changes & what’s coming for the 2025-26 season
A lot is changing, and for fans, these changes affect how many matches will air on TNT:
- Starting the 2025-26 season, DAZN will hold the rights to broadcast every Serie A match in the UK & Ireland. TNT’s share of matches will be reduced significantly.
- TNT will no longer have full coverage; instead, they’ll have a smaller subset of games (non-exclusive or exclusive for certain fixtures).
- For viewers in the United States: TNT does not have the primary series-wide rights for Serie A. These are held by another broadcaster/streaming service.
What this means for fans
If you’re trying to catch Serie A, here’s what you should know depending on where you live:
- In the UK & Ireland: Yes, TNT have Serie A, but only partially. They will still show some big matches (selected fixtures), but DAZN will become your go-to platform if you want access to all matches starting 2025-26.
- In the USA: If you’re outside the UK & Ireland, TNT does not offer full Serie A rights. Most of the schedule is on other channels/streaming services.
- Current season (2024-25): You can still watch some matches on TNT, but expect limited choice relative to streaming platforms. Check schedules carefully.
Why the rights are shifting
There are a few reasons TNT’s role is changing:
- Streaming demand: Fans increasingly expect full match-coverage online; streaming platforms like DAZN and OneFootball are pushing hard.
- Cost and value: Rights are expensive. Distributing them among multiple platforms allows Serie A and broadcasters to spread risk.
- Viewer expectations: Wanting to see full league tables, match-by-match action, player stats, and consistency pushes towards platforms with broader offerings.
Conclusion
Does TNT have Serie A? Yes—but with caveats. TNT holds partial rights in the UK & Ireland, showing a limited number of live Serie A fixtures, especially from 2025-26 on, fans should look to DAZN or streaming platforms.
