How To Watch Napoli Vs Sporting In The USA: TV Channel, Live Stream Info, Preview And Start Time

Scroll down for the Napoli vs Sporting TV channel, live stream info, preview, start time, team news and more ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League clash.

After their MD1 defeat to 2023 champions Manchester City at the Etihad, Napoli will be aiming to get their league phase up-and-running against Sporting in Naples.

The Scudetto winners were defeated 2-0 in England. All hopes of causing an upset were banished after 20 minutes when Giovanni Di Lorenzo was dismissed for hauling down Erling Haaland.

Although Gli Azzurri defended resolutely, Haaland and Jeremy Doku scored the decisive goals. The build up to the match was centred around the return of Kevin De Bruyne.

However, he was sacrificed for Mathias Olivera shortly after Di Lorenzo’s red card. The Belgian baller was also subbed in the 2-1 defeat to Milan on the weekend. That generated an angry reaction from KDB and some stern words from Antonio Conte about his behavior.

As for Sporting, their domestic form has been impressive so far in 2025-26. Rui Borges side has won six of their seven games and they also hit the ground running in Europe on MD1.

The Portuguese giants cruised past newcomers Kairat 4-1 in Lisbon. Francisco Trincao starred at the Estadio Alvalade after notching a brace.

On October 1, it’ll be just the third meeting between the two sides in European competition. Interestingly, the Lions have never won in Italy across 17 previous attempts.
