Sassuolo vs Juventus: TV, Streaming, and Team News

Sassuolo against Juventus rarely drifts quietly by on the calendar. One club fighting to punch above its weight, the other still weighed down by expectation. On 13 September 2026, at 19:45, they collide again in Serie A.

For those outside Italy, the game will be scattered across broadcasters worldwide. From ZEE5 in India and Bangladesh to DAZN in the UK, Germany, France and Canada, Disney+ across most of Latin America, and beIN Sports in Australia and parts of Asia, the match will be carried into living rooms on almost every continent. In the United States, Paramount+ and CBS Sports hold the rights, while SuperSport takes it to South Africa and StarTimes covers large parts of Africa.

The list runs long: Match TV in Russia, Sport TV in Portugal, Ziggo Sport in the Netherlands, TV2 Play in Denmark and the Nordics, Astro Go in Malaysia and the Philippines, Arena Sport across the Balkans, and many more regional platforms. Wherever you are, there is almost certainly a local broadcaster.

Watching with a VPN

For fans stuck behind regional blackouts or travelling abroad, a VPN offers another route. By connecting to a server in a country where the game is being shown, viewers can access their usual streaming platform as if they were back home.

The process is simple enough: sign up to a reputable VPN service, install the app, choose a server location that matches the broadcast territory you want, and clear your browser cache if needed so the new location is recognised. Once connected, head to the relevant broadcaster’s site or app and start the stream.

Those who insist on the big-screen experience have options too. Android-based smart TVs and devices such as Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV usually support native VPN apps, making it a case of downloading, logging in and connecting directly on the TV. For platforms like Apple TV, Roku and many games consoles that do not run VPN apps, Smart DNS settings from your VPN provider or casting/mirroring from a VPN-connected phone or laptop bridge the gap.

Team news: Sassuolo stretched but settled

Alberto Aquilani has problems, but also a clear idea. Sassuolo arrive with a lengthy absentee list: Fali Candé, Ismael Koné, Edoardo Pieragnolo, Daniel Boloca, Yeferson Paz, Sebastian Walukiewicz, Cristian Volpato and Darryl Bakola are all sidelined through injury. No suspensions, just a treatment room that feels too full.

Even so, the expected XI has a familiar spine. Arijanet Muric should start in goal. Ahead of him, a back four of Fedde Leysen, Jay Idzes, Josh Doig and Simone Cinquegrano offers height, energy and a touch of aggression in wide areas.

In midfield, Nemanja Matic brings the experience and rhythm, with Vasilije Adžić alongside him to provide legs and forward thrust. Higher up, Kieron Bowie, Sebastiano Esposito and Armand Laurienté are set to operate behind the main striker, a trio that can press, run and hurt teams in transition.

This is not a full-strength Sassuolo, but it is a side with a clear structure and enough attacking talent to trouble anyone.

Juventus: big names missing, big calls for Spalletti

If Sassuolo are depleted, Juventus are stripped almost to the bone. Manuel Locatelli, Khephren Thuram, Kenan Yildiz, Juan Cabal, Weston McKennie, Arkadiusz Milik, Jeremie Boga and Jeff Ekhator are all unavailable. Luciano Spalletti must shuffle, improvise and trust his depth.

Guglielmo Vicario is expected to start in goal. In front of him, a defensive line of Jhon Lucumí, Gleison Bremer, Mehmet Zeki Çelik and Pierre Kalulu mixes Serie A know-how with athleticism and versatility.

The projected support cast for Randal Kolo Muani is intriguing. Teun Koopmeiners and Douglas Luiz bring control and bite in midfield, while Nico González, Kerim Alajbegovic and Chico Conceição offer width, creativity and the ability to drift into dangerous pockets. It is a side built to keep the ball and then strike sharply.

One more subplot: Pape Matar Sarr. The Senegalese midfielder has been working his way back to fitness and could add vital cover if he is passed fit. In a game that may be decided in the middle third, his availability could matter.

Form guide: Sassuolo lively, Juventus unbeaten in Serie A

Sassuolo’s recent run suggests a team that can score, but still lives on the edge. Across their last five competitive matches, they have claimed two wins, one draw and one defeat, plus a Coppa Italia victory over Cesena. Eight goals scored, six conceded.

Their latest outing, a 2-2 draw away at Bologna, underlined both their attacking intent and defensive vulnerability. Before that, they edged Torino 2-1 in their previous Serie A home match, a reminder that the Mapei Stadium can still be a difficult place to visit. The only league defeat in that spell came against Atalanta.

Juventus arrive with a different sort of momentum. Their only recent loss came in a pre-season friendly against Inter. In competitive action they have won two and drawn two of their last four games, and in Serie A they remain unbeaten.

A solid 1-0 win at Frosinone on the opening day set the tone, followed by victory at Parma and a 1-1 draw with AC Milan. Four goals scored, two conceded across those three league fixtures, with that clean sheet in Frosinone hinting at a defensive platform Spalletti will want to build on.

Head-to-head and the table

History between these two in recent seasons has not been one-sided. The last meeting, at the Allianz Stadium in March 2026, finished 1-1. Before that, Juventus produced a commanding 3-0 win away at Sassuolo in January 2026.

Across the last five Serie A clashes between the clubs, Juventus have three wins and Sassuolo two, with 11 goals shared. No goalless stalemates, no sense of predictability. When these sides meet, something usually happens.

The league table adds another layer. Sassuolo sit tenth, looking upwards and trying to turn promise into a sustained push. Juventus are sixth, close enough to the top spots but still searching for the kind of run that defines a season.

So the question hangs over this fixture: does this become the night Sassuolo land another statement win, or the evening Juventus quietly, efficiently, remind everyone they are still built for the top of Serie A?
