More 100 million sports fans in the United States will be able to watch live as Christian Pulisic’s AC Milan begin their Serie A campaign on Saturday.

For the first time ever the Italian top flight will be broadcast on network television in the United States, a move that organisers hope will help to bring the game to new audiences. AC Milan’s 2024/25 opener against Parma will be shown live on CBS and Paramount+, with approximately 125 million people able to watch along for free.

Pulisic enjoyed an impressive first season in Milan last year, recording a career-best 12 goals for the Italian giants. After a disappointing summer at Copa América, Pulisic and USMNT teammate Yunus Musah will be looking to bounce back for their club team.
