BBC to show 38 Serie A matches in 2026/27 as English and Scottish stars arrive | OneFootball

The BBC will show 38 Serie A matches live in the 2026/27 season, with coverage beginning on Sunday on BBC Alba and iPlayer when Atalanta host Sassuolo at 19.45 UK time. According to Football Italia, the broadcasts will be available to British viewers.

Some fixtures were already screened on BBC Alba in February 2026, featuring a mix of English and Gaelic commentary.

The plan has now been expanded to include 19 further live games on BBC iPlayer, with English commentary.

Interest in the league has grown in the UK as more British and Irish players head to Italy.

England internationals Djed Spence and John Stones have joined Inter, while Curtis Jones is expected to follow later this week.

Scotland’s contingent includes Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour at Napoli, Kieron Bowie and Josh Doig at Sassuolo, and Lewis Ferguson with Bologna.

Cagliari have signed former Leeds United midfielder Harry Winks, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek is at Milan, Che Adams at Torino, and Lennon Miller at Udinese.
