About RAI Sport
RAI Sport is the sports arm of RAI, Italy's national public broadcaster. Live football is split between the main RAI channels (Rai 1, Rai 2) and the dedicated RAI Sport channel, with streaming on RaiPlay. RAI has held rights to Italy national-team matches, parts of the Coppa Italia, and selected continental tournaments depending on the rights cycle.
For viewers in Italy the service is free at the point of viewing and funded by the canone RAI licence fee. RaiPlay live streams are typically restricted to Italian IP addresses, with some catch-up content available to Italian audiences resident temporarily abroad under EU portability rules. Outside Italy, live football streams are generally blocked.
