How to watch the Italian song contest Festival di Sanremo for free

In Italy, when you say “Il Festival”, it only means “Festival di Sanremo”, the most popular song contest in Italy. The winner of the Festival is going to represent Italy to Eurovision.

It is a great opportunity to expose the kids to the Italian language and culture: whether you like it or not, Sanremo is iconic!

The show streams on RAI 1 from today February 6th to February 10th from 12pm to 4:30pm Pacific Standard Time at:

Just for Sanremo the Italian television removes geographical restrictions, so you do not need a VPN.

You can watch it on a TV or smartphone by installing the “Raiplay” app, opening a browser (for example Amazon Silk on Firestick), or by streaming it on your laptop and casting the tab to the TV. If you own a Chromecast, the easiest option is to install the Raiplay app on your phone and then “cast” it to the Chromecast to watch it on a TV.

Buon ascolto!
