Best IPTV Italy: Sky, NOW, DAZN, RaiPlay and IPTV Sellers Side by Side

A note on who wrote this: we run Vivimate, an IPTV subscription, so one of the options below is ours. This page reports no measurements of our own and names no winner. Every euro price comes from the provider's own website, read on November 9, 2026; where a page gave no usable figure, we say so instead of borrowing one. Readers who have already settled on IPTV can skip to our checklist for judging an IPTV seller.

Begin with what you watch

Italy's TV market has two quirks that change any comparison. Every household with a set pays a public broadcasting fee through its electricity bill, and the top football league is split so that one streaming service carries every match while the pay-TV giant carries a slice. Answer three questions in order and most homes land on a type before they ever look at a price.

Euro prices read on November 9, 2026

Two gaps are deliberate. TIM's TV page returned an error and TIMVISION blocked our reader, so neither appears. DAZN's page showed its monthly plan at two different figures, so only the annual prices are quoted. Prices move, so confirm on each site before you sign.

Sky and NOW: the same content, two contracts

Sky Italia's offers page had Sky TV with Netflix, its Intrattenimento Plus bundle, at €16.99 a month for 18 months, down from €31.99. After month 18, Sky's list price at that time applies on its own, and leaving early means paying back the discounts already used. Sky Glass, a TV with Sky built in, was listed at €99 for the 43-inch set alongside the subscription.

NOW is the no-dish route to Sky's programming. Pass Entertainment cost €4.99 a month on a 12-month term, then €8.99 rolling. Pass Sport cost €24.99 on a 12-month term, then €34.99 rolling, and NOW says it carries Sky's three Serie A matches per round plus 185 of the 203 Champions League matches a season. Up to six devices can be registered, but only one plays at a time unless you pay for a second stream.

The trade-off between the two is commitment. Sky locks in a lower rate for longer; NOW lets you stop after the term and pick it up again for the months you care about, at a higher monthly figure.

Serie A: why DAZN sits in most football budgets

DAZN's price page says DAZN Full includes all 380 Serie A Enilive matches, at €36.99 a month on an annual plan paid in 12 instalments or €379 paid at once, list prices in force from 18 March 2026, with two streams allowed on the same network. Sky's Serie A page describes co-exclusive rights to three matches in every round, 114 over a season, for the 2024 to 2029 cycle, plus highlights of all 380.

So a supporter who wants every round needs DAZN; Sky or NOW alone leaves seven matches a round uncovered. Someone who also wants Sky's Champions League coverage ends up paying two providers.

RAI, RaiPlay and the canone

RAI is the public broadcaster, and RaiPlay streamed Rai 1, Rai 2, Rai 3, Rai News 24 and Rai Sport live, among others, when the page was read. The canone TV costs €90 a year and, according to the Agenzia delle Entrate, is collected in ten monthly instalments from January to October on the electricity bill. A home that watches mostly RAI has, in effect, already paid for it.

Independent IPTV sellers

A seller like us provides a login that you enter in a player app on a TV, stick or phone. Channel lists tend to be long, prices low and often charged in US dollars. The question that matters most is rights: IPTV is only a way of delivering television and is legal, but a given service is lawful only if its seller holds the rights to what it streams. Our guide to what makes an IPTV service legal explains how to weigh that.

• Suits: viewers who want many channels in one app for less, and accept that a seller may not publish its rights.
• Be wary of: offers of every Serie A match for a few euros, and long plans paid up front with no trial.
• Check in the trial: each channel you watch, regional ones included, at the hour it airs.

Watching Italian TV from the US or Canada

Many of our readers are Italians or Italian-Americans living in North America who want home TV, not a new Italian contract. The euro prices above are for viewers in Italy. Whether RaiPlay or another Italian app plays outside Italy is each broadcaster's decision, shaped by the rights it holds; the RaiPlay pages read for this article didn't state it, so check the app's own help pages from where you live. We don't advise getting round a broadcaster's regional limits. A connection of about 10 Mbps per HD stream, 15 for Full HD and 25 for 4K is enough on either side of the Atlantic; our IPTV internet speed guide shows how to test yours.

Where Vivimate fits

Vivimate is an IPTV subscription seller billed in US dollars. Plans are prepaid with no contract and no auto-renewal. We don't publish the rights agreements behind our channels, and we don't promise any named Italian channel, league or match.

The 24-hour Vivimate trial needs no card, so you can search its guide for the Italian channels you follow before deciding. Questions first? Message us on WhatsApp, or compare terms on Vivimate plans and prices. Other countries are covered in our IPTV guides by country.
