As per the newspaper, Verona-Cagliari on Saturday and Atalanta-Sassuolo on Sunday will be shown on DAZN’s YouTube channel and the Sky-owned TV8 respectively.

They are two of the four matches postponed from Week 25 as a result of the coronavirus lockdown coming in force on March 9.

However, La Gazzetta writes the arrangement stops there as the remaining fixtures will be aired on Sky Sport Italia and DAZN via subscription services.

In other developments, there will be no advertising in the 15 minutes before and after games, while highlights will be made available immediately after the final whistle.
