A VPN - or Virtual Private Network - is software that effectively let's you change the location of the IP address on your laptop, phone, tablet or anything else really. We've tested loads of VPNs and can recommend ExpressVPN as the best VPN out there right now.

Express VPN is our #1 top rated VPN thanks to its smooth connections, robust security and sheer amount of international servers. Plus, it can be used in conjunction with a range of devices including Smart TVs, Fire TV Stick, PC, Mac, iPhone, Android phone, iPads, tablets, games consoles, etc. Check out Express VPN with a 30-day money back guarantee or sign up for a year for 49% off and an extra 3 months free.

ExpressVPN is super simple to operate once installed - just fire it up, select your server location and your device will think it's somewhere completely different. And VPNs are also great for staying secure online and getting around restricted websites.

Subscription service Premier Sportsnow has exclusive live broadcast rights for Serie A football in the UK. Coverage of the AC Milan vs Juventus game gets underway tonight at 8.40pm just in time for the 8.45pm kick-off.

You can subscribe for £11.99 per month for SD and HD coverage if you're on Sky or Virgin Media, or £49 per year if you like the sound of its rugby union, rugby league and motorsport offerings, too. Premier Sports also has its own dedicated app which lets you watch all this action on the go.

And if you're out of the UK but have subscribed, you can always use a VPN to relocate your IP to a UK location and watch the match as if you were back at home.

DAZN (pronounced "Da Zone") has the rights to show live Serie A matches in Canada.

The network is offering a one-month free trial, followed by a rolling $20-a-month or annual subscription of $150. The dedicated DAZN app is available for iOS and Android phones and tablets, as well as Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Chromecast, Apple TV plus most modern Smart TVs.

Of course, if you are outside Canada, you can follow the VPN route above and tune in with a DAZN log-in all the same. 

ESPN+ is generally where it's at for watching Italian football in the US this season. Costing just $4.99 a month, it's a great option - but there are alternatives to the broadcast giant.

Those after a linear TV alternative and Italian language commentary in particular should know that Italian national TV broadcaster RAI has a North American off-shoot, RAI Italia Nord America, which is widely available both on cable via major providers like AT&T, Verizon and Optimum.

RAI Nord America can also be procured on a streaming-only basis via one of our favorite cord cutting options - fuboTV. It costs $54.99 a month but is a complete cable replacement and, best of all, offers a FREE 7-day trial so you can watch Serie A today for nothing

If you fancy watching top flight Italian football in Australia, then you'll need to be a subscriber to beIN Sports which has secured exclusive live coverage rights to the league for this season - kick-off for this one is 5.45am.

If you're a Foxtel customer, you can add beIN to your package for an extra fee. No worries if you aren't though as you can also subscribe to beIN as a standalone subscription that can be watched on your laptop, desktop computer or mobile device. That costs $19.99 per month after you've taken advantage of a FREE two week trial.

Beyond that, Kayo Sports is one-stop-shop for all the action from Italy, as it offers live streaming of beIN Sports' coverage of the league.

Subscription service Sky Sport is the sole rights holders for live coverage of Serie A in New Zealand this season.

If you're looking to stream the coverage live to your mobile device, Sky Go is the service you need. Things will get going at 745am this morning.

If you've read the rest of this article, you probably know the alternative route by now. You could give a VPN a try as per the instructions above.
