CBS to broadcast Parma vs AC Milan on network TV for first time ever
- CBS will broadcast a Serie A game on network television for the first time ever
- Parma vs AC Milan kicks off on Saturday, Aug. 24, at 12:30 p.m. ET
- Expect Christian Pulisic to start against the newly promoted side
For the first time ever, CBS will broadcast a Serie A match on their main channel in the United States as Christian Pulisic and AC Milan face Parma at the Stadio Tardini.
The 2024/25 Serie A season kicked off last week, and several surprising results rocked some of the biggest clubs in Italy, including AC Milan. The Italian giants were held to a draw against Torino, putting the pressure on Paulo Fonseca's squad to collect all three points this weekend.
The 19-time Serie A winners will rely on their talented team, featuring Rafael Leao, Theo Hernandez, and the U.S. Men's National Team's own, Christian Pulisic, to bounce back in a major way against a newly promoted Parma side.
Typically, American fans can only watch Serie A matches on Paramount+, which requires a paid subscription, but on Saturday, the entire country can tune in and watch their captain suit up for Milan on CBS.
CBS to broadcast Parma vs AC Milan on main channel for first time ever
On Saturday, Aug. 24, CBS will broadcast Parma vs AC Milan on their main cable channel for American fans to watch for free. For the first time ever, a Serie A match will premiere on network television in the United States.
As soccer continues to gain popularity in the United States, more and more fans want to watch the country's best talent compete in Europe. Now, before the football season returns, viewers can spend their Saturday afternoon watching Pulisic play in Italy.
The 25-year-old became Serie A's all-time American top goalscorer in his first season at Milan, scoring 12 goals in their 2023/24 domestic campaign, and will look to continue his fine club form after a disappointing summer for the USMNT at Copa America 2024.
