Rai 3 Watch live

Watch online live stream Rai 3

Rai 3 is the third channel of Rai, Italy's public service broadcaster, and the network's historic home for news, culture and regional affairs. Based in Rome and available nationwide on digital terrestrial television, it has also become a familiar destination for viewers who prefer to watch TV online rather than through the antenna.

The station went on air on 15 December 1979 under the name Rete 3, created to give space to regional newsrooms and cultural programming. It was rebranded Rai Tre in 2000 and took its current name in 2010, while keeping its reputation as the most news-driven and culturally oriented of the Rai networks.

Newsrooms, Regions and Daily Appointments

The daily grid is built around TG3, the channel's flagship newscast with editions at midday, in the afternoon and in prime time, and around the TGR regional bulletins that connect Rome with every corner of Italy. Morning and daytime hours bring talk and current-affairs magazines, while the lineup leaves room for documentaries, cinema and in-depth specials that keep the live television rhythm of the network going until late.

Signature Shows and Familiar Faces

Among the longest-running appointments are Blob, the irreverent collage of television moments on air since 1989, and Chi l'ha visto?, the missing-persons program led by Federica Sciarelli. Investigative reporting finds its home in Report with Sigfrido Ranucci, Sunday evenings travel through world cultures with Kilimangiaro hosted by Camila Raznovich, and the soap Un Posto al Sole has been telling Neapolitan stories since 1996.

Whether the interest is breaking news, a documentary premiere or the evening film, audiences can rely on Rai 3 live streaming to stay close to the channel from anywhere, keeping Italy's most journalistic network within easy reach on every screen.
