About RaiPlay

It provides free access to live streams of RAI 1, RAI 2, RAI 3, and the RAI specialist channels, plus a substantial on-demand library. RaiPlay Original productions are exclusive to the platform. Content spans news, entertainment, sport, culture, and fiction. The platform is free and funded by the Italian public broadcasting licence fee.
