Serie A
Weekend matches start in the morning or early afternoon in Canada. Pick your zone on our sports pages.
Checking the Italian channels before you pay
Use the trial on a Sunday, when Serie A plays most of its games and the Italian talk shows are on. Matches that start at 3 pm in Italy begin at 9 am in Toronto and Montréal and at 6 am in Vancouver, so the replay and catch-up features matter as much as the live feed. Put the channels you want in a favourites list, look at the guide for tonight and tomorrow, and confirm the sound is in Italian rather than a dubbed track. Families who also want Italian films can search the movie library by title during the same trial.
