AC Milan vs Empoli live stream: Can you watch for free?

Add as a preferred source on Google

In better form as of late, Empoli get a big test on Sunday when they head to San Siro to take on AC Milan. Stefano Pioli’s side rolled to a 3-0 victory when these teams met a couple months ago, but the visitors have tallied three wins and three draws in eight matches since, setting this one up as an intriguing fixture.

The match is about to start, at 10:00 a.m. ET, and in the United States it will be televised on CBS Sports Network. Fortunately, there are also a bevy of different avenues for watching a free live stream.

Is There a Free AC Milan vs Empoli Live Stream?

There are so many free live stream options for this match.

The best is Paramount+, plain and simple. It comes with a free seven-day trial, so you can watch today’s match without paying anything, but if you decide to keep it long-term, you’ll be able to watch every single Serie A match (and other live sports and a ton of TV shows and movies) for just $6 per month or $60 for the year.

If you’ve used up that free trial, you can get what is essentially the exact same thing via Amazon Prime Channels. Prime comes with a 30-day free trial if you’re not already a subscriber, and the Paramount+ channel comes with a seven-day free trial. This is all the same live and on-demand content, only you’ll watch on Amazon’s digital platforms instead.

A bit more indirect way to get Paramount+ is through DirecTV Stream. Whatever base channel package you choose and the “Paramount+ with SHOWTIME” add-on can both be included in your free five-day trial. Plus, if you decide to keep DirecTV Stream long-term, Paramount+ is free for your first three months. You’ll still need to watch the match on the Paramount+ website or app, which you can access with your DirecTV Stream credentials.

With the game being televised on CBS Sports Network, you can also watch via Fubo or YouTube TV, which both include CBSSN and come with a free trial. Note, however, that most Serie A games aren’t televised. So, if you simply want to watch AC Milan vs Empoli, then these options work fine, but if you want to watch more Serie A action down the line, any of the Paramount+ options will be the better choice.

How to Watch the AC Milan vs Empoli Live Stream from Abroad

You’ll need a virtual private network (VPN) if you want to watch the match on any of those streaming services from outside the United States. A VPN can hide your location and connect you to a server in the US, allowing you to access content that would otherwise be geo-locked.

Some streaming services have gotten better at blocking these servers and disallowing access, but NordVPN has nearly 2,000 servers in the United States alone, making it one of the best options for watching any of the aforementioned streaming services from abroad.

YouTube is reworking the Home page with Custom Feeds and quicker access to Subscriptions
Saved Custom Feeds are rolling out as YouTube also experiments with a redesigned Home navigation bar.

YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.

YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.

EXCLUSIVE: How Klara and the Sun warns of a future where humans compete with AI
What Does Klara and the Sun Say About the Dangers of AI?
Jenna Ortega stars in Klara and the Sun.

Artificial intelligence has already changed people's lives, both at home and at work, but what happens when people start treating AI as a replacement for their loved ones? Filmmaker Taika Waititi explores this terrifying idea with his new sci-fi movie, Klara and the Sun. Based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, the film follows Klara, a solar-powered "Artificial Friend" played by Jenna Ortega, as she bonds with Josie, a sick teenager.

Klara and the Sun paints an unusual, unsettling portrait of a world with AI. Essentially The Wizard of Oz meets Blade Runner, Waititi's dystopian film is filled with his brand of vibrant visuals and quirky humor. But beneath all that, the film tells a deeper, more serious story about AI and whether it can cause the downfall of society and human connection.

Spotify has kicked 50 million AI slop tracks out of your recommendations
Spotify is cleaning up your music recommendations, and AI-generated spam is finally getting the boot.

Finding new music on Spotify is one of those little joys that can turn an ordinary day around. You play a song you love, let the recommendations take over, and occasionally stumble upon an artist you wish you’d discovered sooner. But with AI making it ridiculously easy to produce music in bulk, not everything landing in your recommendations deserves a listen.

Spotify knows this is becoming a problem, and it’s acting on it. The streaming giant has revealed it filtered more than 50 million spammy, low-quality tracks from its recommendations this year. That’s on top of another 75 million tracks it has completely removed from the platform for repeatedly or seriously breaking its rules. And Spotify isn’t stopping there — it wants to make sure actual artists aren’t buried under an endless stream of AI-generated content.
