Serie A title-chasers Napoli host relegation strugglers Empoli on Monday evening, and fans based in the US can find out how to watch the match on TV or via a live stream by following our guide.
Unbeaten in five, Napoli welcome relegation battlers Empoli to Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Monday, where they’ll be looking to secure a crucial victory as they bid to maintain a three-point gap on Serie A leaders Inter.
Antonio Conte’s side have won just two of their last nine league outings, but across that run, they have lost just once. Last time out, they were held to a 1-1 draw away at Bologna and overcame AC Milan 2-1 prior to that.
As for the visitors, they haven’t won a game of soccer in regular time since the start of December, when they beat Verona 4-1, in a run that spans across an incredible 19 matches in all competitions.
Despite this, they are in the Coppa Italia semi-finals, where they trail 3-0 to Bologna after the first leg, and they head into this one off the back of two successive league stalemates against Cagliari and Como.
Roberto D’Aversa’s side are currently in 19th place in the league table, nine points ahead of bottom side Monza and level on points with 18th place Venezia, while they are two points adrift of Lecce and safety from relegation.
Ahead of the action in Naples, FootItalia‘s guide reveals how soccer fans in the United States can watch the match, including information on a TV channel and how to access a live stream.

Napoli vs Empoli Prediction
While Napoli have struggled to get over the line with victories in recent weeks, mainly recording draws since the start of February, they head into Monday’s tie as clear favourites to come out on top.
Empoli have simply been dreadful since the start of 2025, with their only victory coming courtesy of a penalty shootout triumph over Juventus in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, and we can’t see any way that they avoid defeat in this one.
The fixture provides Conte’s men a perfect opportunity to extend their strong home run and to maintain the pressure on Inter, as they are without defeat at the Maradona in seven straight matches since December.
Prediction: Napoli 2-0 Empoli
