(Toronto, ON – July 31, 2024) – TLN Media Group’s new expanded deal for the Italian-language broadcast rights for Serie A, Coppa Italia, and the Italian Super Cup means more matches and more goals on TLN TV, the Canadian TV home of Italian soccer.
Serie A is regarded as one of the best football leagues in the world and is followed by 4.4 Million Canadians (Vividata 2021 Study of the Canadian Consumer – Sports & eSports). The league boasts some of the world's most famous clubs such as Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan, as well as Canadian-owned Bologna FC 1909. And with 60% of the over 600 soccer players in the league coming from 73 foreign countries, it is also at the top for quality, diversity and worldwide appeal. Among those diverse international stars is Brampton, Ontario’s very own Tajon Buchanan who signed with current league champions Inter Milan earlier this year.
The new Serie A season returns to TLN TV starting Saturday August 17 bringing soccer fans across Canada 3 LIVE Serie A matches every weekend. The 38-match week season will feature coverage of 114 LIVE matches plus additional weekly soccer content including:
