More Scots are playing in Serie A than ever before - and the BBC now has you covered if you want to follow them in action live. The Italian top flight is returning to free-to-air television thanks to a package of eight live matches showcasing the Italy based Scots as they prepare for this summer`s World Cup. First up on BBC Alba this coming Sunday is the match between striker Adams` Torino and midfielder Ferguson`s Bologna, with a 17:00 GMT kick-off. Bologna arrive three points and three places above their 13th-placed hosts but looking to arrest a run of five straight domestic defeats, the latest being a 2-1 home loss to Lazio in the Coppa Italia. However, during that spell they drew 2-2 at home to Celtic and won 3-0 away to Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Europa League. Torino, meanwhile, have won just once in five outings but are looking to build on a 2-2 draw away to Fiorentina last time out. Reply |

| 5. Author: stevemac Date: Fri 13th Feb 2026. 17:38 Shows how far Serie A has fallen. English premiership selling for billions . Italians selling to BBC Alba. So sad. Reply |
| 6. Author: wee eck Date: Fri 13th Feb 2026. 18:04 My barber is from Milan, an Inter fan, and he told me there are no Serie A games on free-to-air TV in Italy. BBC Alba has sub-licensed these games from DAZN which is a subscription channel which seems to have the TV rights to Serie A games. Presumably Alba didn`t have to pay too much for them. Maybe DAZN are hoping some Scottish fans may be persuaded to take out a full subscription with them. The fact that there a few Scots now playing over there is obviously a hook. Reply |

| 9. Author: Bovril Man Date: Fri 13th Feb 2026. 21:02 You do realise Serie A is sold and viewed all over the world across all the major streaming services? Having Alba pick it up also is neither here nor there commercially, but a win-win for everyone. Reply |

Author: veteraneastender Date: Fri 13th Feb 2026. 21:37 Bovril Man, Fri 13 Feb 21:02 BBC Alba will use viewing figures to punt the popularity of Gaelic programming in Scotland - despite the majority of watchers having little understanding of what’s being said apart from English terms like corner kick etc. Reply |

He never even said anything controversial until someone decides to have a go at his opinion. He is right though that Seria A was the biggest league in the 90’s and now the EPL seems to be.
