Sportitalia, which broadcasts sport programmes 24 hours a day, will show the matches including Celtic's trip to Hamilton and Rangers' home match against Livingston.
The full list of fixtures will be broadcast, meaning Italians will be able to watch Kilmarnock - managed by former Napoli, Juventus and the Italian national team assistant boss Angelo Alessio - take on Hibs at Rugby Park.
