Last week I gathered with a few Chinese expat football friends in Lima to watch the Serie A Round 10 Derby d'Italia between Juventus and AC Milan. We had snacks and beer ready 30 minutes before kickoff, but after checking all local paid sports streaming platforms like DirecTV and Fanatiz, all we could find was fast-paced Spanish commentary, with player names pronounced so differently from what we’re used to that we could barely follow, not to mention the familiar tactical jokes and pre-match behind-the-scenes content we love.
Pirate links we found online were even worse: either 360p blurry footage where we couldn’t even make out jersey numbers, or invasive gambling ads that almost led us to click on a virus link. We were just about to settle for Spanish commentary when we figured out a working solution after 20 minutes of testing, and ended up watching the full match with commentary from well-known Chinese pundits Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu, in 1080p high bitrate with zero buffering, and latency even lower than the pirate links, perfectly synced with feeds in China.
Most Chinese football fans in Peru run into this problem all the time: no Chinese commentary for high-profile matches. No matter how passionate Spanish or Portuguese commentary is, it just doesn’t hit the same when you’ve been listening to Chinese commentary for decades, and want to hear pundits discuss Juventus’ league form or AC Milan’s new signings like you would back home.

The first and most recommended solution is to unblock official Chinese sports streaming platforms. Migu and iQiyi Sports hold the full Serie A broadcasting rights in China for this season, with 2-3 Chinese commentary options for high-profile matches, including professional pundit teams and fan-specific commentary for each side. The maximum quality goes up to 4K, with pre-match analysis, post-match reviews and full match replays available, a far better experience than pirate links.
The only issue is that when you access these platforms from Peru, you’ll get a \
