Live Streaming Services


What is live streaming?

Live football streaming sites allow you to watch live sporting events online via a monthly or weekly subscription, with services often providing a wide range of sporting events from horse racing, boxing, football and more. They allow punters to watch the events they have placed money on, which they would not ordinarily be able to view via the traditional sports broadcasting channels.

How do I live stream?

Live streaming sports in 2022 could not be easier, with loads of sites offering live streaming on every sporting event imaginable. All you have to do is choose a site which is best suited to your viewing needs depending on what sporting events you want access to. There is then a short sign-up process to go through where you’ll have to give basic personal information as well as payment details for the service. There may also be a choice of subscription packages to select from, so make sure you pick the one that includes the live events you want to view. To live stream the events on some services, you may also need a VPN to change the browser location as some events are excluded from certain countries.

Terms & Conditions Apply
  • The world's favourite online sports betting company
  • Bet365 offers an amazing Mobile App
  • The most comprehensive In-Play service

While Bet365 is not a paid subscription site as such, it does offer customers the option to watch a wide range of sporting events through the app or browser if they have wagered money on the sporting event. Anything from horse racing to selected football matches are available on the app for free. Obviously, options are extremely more limited than services like Fubo or ESPN+ and more often than not you will need to have a bet on the event to watch it live.

T&Cs apply. 18+. Watch your favorite sports on mobile, tablet & desktop. Only available to eligible customers. Live Streaming rules apply.


Express VPN

An essential tool for any sports fan, ExpressVPN allows you to change your browser’s location so it will show your device as the location of your choosing from around the world. While there is no free trial with ExpressVPN, all customers are given a 30-day money-back guarantee. New users are presented with 3 different plans to subscribe to:

  • 1-month plan: $12.95 per month
  • 6-month plan: $9.99 per month
  • 15-month plan: $6.67 per month

It’s worth noting that the 15-month plan is only available to new users in the first year of subscription. After 12 months, subscribers are billed on an annual basis.

FUBO TV

FUBO has grown considerably from its humble beginnings as a sports streaming platform, with the service now offering a huge amount of entertainment channels as well as keeping its great live sports offering. It is only available in North America (which includes Canada) so if you are outside of that geographical location, you will need a VPN to access it - again more on that below.

You will struggle to think of a football division around the world not included in FUBO’s roster, with all MLS games, Premier League, La Liga and Bundesliga (to name but a few) all available to watch. Again, the service offers new customers a 7-day free trial period, which kicks in before you pay a penny.

Should you wish to continue with the service after the trial period, there are three package options to choose from; Family, Elite and Fubo Latino.

The Family option costs $64.99 a month, giving you access to 116 channels cloud DVR and family share up to 3 devices at once. The Elite package costs $79.99 a month. 163 channels, Fubo Extra (47 entertainment channels), cloud DVR and family share up to 5 devices at once. Fubo Latino: Costs $29.99 a month. 32 channels, 100+ sporting events, cloud DVR and family share up to 2 devices at once.

CyberGhost

Similarly, CyberGhost offers a money-back guarantee, but over 45 days as opposed to the 30 days offered by Express VPN. Currently, you can subscribe to the service for a huge 82% discount if you opt for the three-year package which works out at just £1.75 per month. The one-year plan will set you back £9.99 a month or the 2-year subscription for £2.75 per month.

Are there any restrictions to live streaming?

The only restrictions to live streaming sports are geographical restrictions, like with the US/ North American services we have outlined above. If you are outside the geographical location, the way around this is by using VPN services like Express VPN or CyberGhost as previously explained.

Is live streaming illegal?

Watching live sports through a legitimate and registered streaming service, which you pay a subscription fee, such as any of the ones outlined above is perfectly legal. However, if you watch through an illegal site that does not require a monthly fee or is unlicensed then you will be breaking the law.

What are the disadvantages of live streaming?

There aren’t many disadvantages to signing up for and using a live streaming sports platform, with services often being cheaper than traditional TV options. However, there are some limitations, such as the number of devices you can use at once and the fact it relies on an internet connection, so if you have any problems with the WiFi then it will be a struggle to watch via the service.
