Best IPTV Italy 2026: 7 Services Compared for Serie A and Italian TV
Serie A in Italy is split between a streaming sports platform and traditional pay-TV, and adding the Champions League means yet another subscription before the canone RAI. This guide compares seven IPTV services available in Italy on price, channel count, trial and refund terms. In short: compare published price, channel count, trial and refund terms, and confirm RAI, Mediaset and Italian-audio VOD are listed before you pay.
Disclosure: IG IPTV is the publisher here and one of the seven services listed, so read this as a vendor's guide. We have not lab-tested the providers; the other six entries reflect what each publishes about price, channels, trial, refunds and devices. Verify the terms on the provider's site before paying. IG IPTV's own Italian line-up and plans are on the IG IPTV Italy page.

What Italian Viewers Need From an IPTV Service
RAI and Mediaset carry the free-to-air schedule and the national team, so they are the baseline for any Italian line-up.
The Italian essentials:
- Rai 1, Rai 2, Rai 3, Rai Sport — Coppa Italia, Nazionale, Giro d'Italia
- Canale 5, Italia 1, Rete 4 (Mediaset) — entertainment and free-to-air football
- La7, Nove, TV8, Rai News 24 — news and general
- Regional RAI opt-outs for local news
- Italian audio tracks on VOD — a film library with English-only audio is little use to an Italian household

Provider Overviews
1. IG IPTV — Our Service
IG IPTV lists 55,000+ live channels including RAI, Mediaset and La7 with regional RAI 3 opt-outs, plus a 180,000+ title VOD library with Italian-language content.
Pros: a 24-hour trial without a card, enough to check the regional Rai 3 edition and Italian audio on films; 7-day money-back guarantee; no auto-renewing contract.
Cons: TVnado and IPTV Free Trial 2026 list lower monthly prices; extra connections are charged.
2. FlickHaven — Films and Series
FlickHaven lists 140,000+ on-demand titles and 32,000+ live channels. In Italy the question is dubbing: check that films come with Italian audio, not only subtitles.
3. Apollo Group IPTV — Multi-Screen Homes
With 45,000+ live channels listed, Apollo Group IPTV targets homes running several connections and supports Enigma2 decoders as well as apps — relevant if the family splits between Serie A and a Canale 5 fiction on a Sunday night.
4. ViviMate — 4K-Focused
ViviMate makes 4K its headline and lists 26,000+ live channels; test a Serie A match on your fibre or FWA line before relying on it.
5. ViviMate IPTV — Balkan and International
Adds Albanian, Romanian, Arabic and Balkan channels to an Italian pack, which suits Italy's large Albanian- and Romanian-speaking communities.

7. IPTV Free Trial 2026 — Free Trial
Trial first, then €12 a month; a low-risk way to see how a TIM, Fastweb or Iliad connection copes on a Sunday evening.

IPTV vs Traditional Pay-TV in Italy
| Feature | IPTV in Italy | Traditional pay-TV + streaming sport |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | €11–€16 | Typically several times the cost of an IPTV plan |
| Contract | None | Often 12–24 months |
| Decoder | Existing Firestick or Smart TV | Operator decoder |
A household holding both a pay-TV football package and a sports streaming subscription usually pays far more per year than an IPTV plan costs. The canone RAI remains payable regardless.

Is IPTV Legal in Italy?
IPTV as a technology is legal — RaiPlay and NOW use it. What decides legality is whether the provider is licensed for the content it carries, and Italy's AGCOM runs the Piracy Shield blocking system against unlicensed streams. Read our guide to whether IPTV is legal and verify a provider's licensing position before subscribing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best IPTV service in Italy in 2026?
IG IPTV is our own service, so we are not the judge to ask. For Italian viewers, check Rai, Mediaset and La7 with the regional Rai 3 edition, then whether films have Italian audio, then price, trial and refunds. IG IPTV costs €15 a month and comes with 24 free hours and a 7-day money-back guarantee.
Does IPTV in Italy include RAI and Mediaset?
Check each provider's channel list. The differentiator is usually the regional RAI 3 opt-outs, which budget services often omit.
How much does IPTV cost in Italy?
The services in this guide list €11 to €16 a month, without a contract. A Serie A streaming subscription plus a pay-TV package usually costs several times more, before the canone RAI.
Do IPTV VOD libraries have Italian audio?
Some do; cheaper services often list titles with English audio only. Use the free trial to check before paying.
What internet speed do I need for IPTV in Italy?
As a reference point, Netflix recommends 15 Mbps or higher for 4K. FTTH handles that easily; on FTTC or FWA, check a live match during the trial.
Verdict
With prices clustered between €11 and €16, the differences that matter in Italy are the regional Rai 3 edition, Italian audio on films and how a Serie A match looks on your line. FlickHaven is the film pick, Apollo Group IPTV the multi-screen one. IG IPTV is ours, with a free 24-hour trial.
