It’s set to be a pivotal clash in the race for the Scudetto at the Stadio Ennio Tardini today as Napoli go in search for a crucial away win against Parma.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if the match isn’t available where you are.
Napoli leads Inter Milan by just a single point going into this game, with just one game remaining after today’s action.
A win for Napoli, combined with an Inter Milan loss today against Lazio could secure the Serie A for Antonio Conte’s side. However, any sort of slip up for Gli Azzurri could allow Inter Milan to overtake them, or force a rare playoff if both teams finish level on points.
It’s an equally high stakes game for the hosts, with Parma currently in 16th position and in need of a win themselves, with just four points keeping them clear being in the relegation zone.
Parma take on Napoli on Sunday, May 18, at the Stadio Ennio Tardini, with kickoff set for 8:45 p.m. CEST local time in Italy. That makes it a 7:45 p.m. BST start in the UK a 2:45 p.m. ET or 11:45 a.m. PT kickoff in the US and Canada, and a 4:45 a.m. AEST start early on Monday morning in Australia.
Scottish midfielder Scott McTominay has been instrumental in Napoli’s push for the title, having scored 12 times this season.

How to watch the Serie A 2024-25 season from anywhere with a VPN
If you’re traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the Serie A action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.
It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security.
However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN usage to access region-specific content. If you’re considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform’s terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider’s installation instructions, ensuring you’re connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.

Quick tips for streaming Parma vs. Napoli using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming Italian Series A matches may vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
- If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
