Italian TV programming & autumn schedule updates (2026)

Overview

As the 2026/27 television season progresses, Italian broadcasters have transitioned from schedule planning to active programming. Rai 3 is expanding its morning news lineup with the return of ‘Buongiorno Italia’ and ‘Buongiorno Regione’, while investigative programs like ‘Presadiretta’ continue. On Rai 1, the game show ‘Affari Tuoi’ competes closely with Mediaset’s ‘La Ruota della Fortuna’; recent October data shows ‘La Ruota della Fortuna’ drawing 4.409 million viewers against ‘Affari Tuoi’s 4.365 million.

In October, Rai 2 debuted the crime series ‘Estranei’, directed by Cosimo Alemà. Starring Elena Radonicich as a Carabinieri negotiator, the series explores social tensions and cultural coexistence in the Emilia region following the disappearance of two young lovers. Additionally, Rai 2 saw the return of ‘I Fatti Vostri’, hosted by Anna Falchi and Flavio Montrucchio.

Prime-time competition remains intense. Rai 1’s ‘Tale e Quale Show’, hosted by Carlo Conti, has maintained strong viewership. Recent Auditel data shows the program attracting approximately 2.5 million viewers with an 18.4% share. On October 14, the show recorded 2,498,000 viewers (17.9% share), narrowly defeating Canale 5’s ‘Il Volo – Uno per Tutti’, which drew 2,073,000 viewers. The competition for the ‘Campione di Tale e Quale Show 16’ title continues, with the sixth episode scheduled to air on October 28 from the ‘Fabrizio Frizzi’ studios in Rome.

On Rai 1, ‘Tutto l’Amore che Resta’ led prime time with 2.59 million viewers, while Canale 5’s ‘Zelig 30’ followed with 1.71 million. Rai’s streaming platform, RaiPlay, has expanded its offerings to include social issue programming like ‘Mi Manda Rai Tre’ and a selection of horror and thriller films.

Mediaset’s autumn schedule continues to feature major titles such as ‘Grande Fratello Vip 9’ and ‘Verissimo’. Other notable releases include Netflix’s ‘The Valley of Eden’ and the series ‘Peccato’ on HBO Max.
