The Serie A clash between Inter and AC Milan this afternoon will be televised globally, with a huge audience expected to tune in.

With Inter just a single point ahead of Milan at the top of the table, the match at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza could be decisive in the race for the Scudetto and this context is likely to attract a wide range of viewers.

As reported in today’s newspaper edition of Tuttosport, the fixture will be shown across the world and will be live in 166 countries, through 45 different global broadcasters.

The Derby will continue to be broadcast live in China through the CCTV 5 channel, despite recent issues surrounding the payment of outstanding fees for rights to show Serie A in the country.

Inter are looking to open up a four point gap on their city rivals as they seek a first league title since 2010, having overtaken Milan at the summit last weekend.
