Finding the right place to stream your favorite live sports can be a daunting task since it can make or break your viewing experience. These sports streaming services, however, could be a good way to get started on your streaming journey.
FuboTV
If you are looking to make the jump from cable TV to live streaming, FuboTV is one of your best options. And if you are looking specifically for sports streaming, Fubo Elite with Sports Plus ($100/month), could be worth looking into.
With this subscription, you can access over 300+ soccer and sports channels, stream hundreds of events in 4K UHD, and use unlimited DVR. You can also stream simultaneously on up to ten screens.
FuboTV’s other plans, such as Fubo Pro, starting from $33/month, can also be worth your attention if you want to add entertainment channels on top of the sports channels. With unlimited Cloud DVR, as well as access to channels spanning lifestyle, entertainment, family, kids, and sports, these plans, despite being on the higher end, can be a good replacement option when you are making the switch to live streaming.
Additionally, Fubo Sports, FuboTV’s native channel, brings you exclusive and original shows apart from streaming content, with episodes also posted on Fubo’s YouTube channel.
Apart from using the streaming app with a paid subscription, you can stream Fubo sports on:
- Roku Channel
- Samsung TV Plus
- Tubi
- Tablo TV
- Plex
- Freevee
- Vizio Watch Free+
- LG Channels
ESPN+
This streaming service could be every sports fan’s dream subscription: you can access major leagues and live events at an economical fee of $11.99/month. ESPN+ lets you watch live streams, original series, shows, and documentaries, event replays, conferences, and upcoming schedules.
ESPN+ focuses on original content that you cannot find on any other ESPN network and lets you watch a Major League Baseball National Hockey League game every day of these leagues’ regular seasons. ESPN+ also has exclusive coverage of every out-market Major League Soccer game. e
Through the service’s schedule, you get a good idea of all the major streams that you may be interested in, such as live soccer, college football, MMA, and more. For avid sports fans, ESPN+ gives more than just the live TV experience. You can view stats, teams, scores, odds, and more right from the app and even participate in Fantasy games.
Apart from its value for money and a wide roster of sports events covered, ESPN+ also offers good device compatibility, including your favorite smart TVs, iOS and Android devices, Xbox, and Chromecast. ESPN+ can also be streamed through DirecTV, Fubo, Sling, and Hulu+ Live TV.
F1 TV
If you are a fan of Formula 1 but are not looking to commit to a streaming service since you will not be using it to watch other sports, the service you might be looking for is F1 TV. You can watch every Formula 1 session live or on-demand, stream practice sessions, qualifying, and the races ad-free.
What is interesting about F1 TV is how immersive it feels because, beyond the live streaming, you can also access onboard camera recordings and team radio recordings, read a live leaderboard, and track every car in real time with live maps. You can also personalize your view with live telemetry feeds from every car. These features can definitely make for a comprehensive watching experience.
Exclusive content on F1 TV includes pre- and post-race live shows, documentaries, analysis and tech talks, and the F1 archive. You can choose from two packages: F1 TV Access ($3.49/month or $29.99/year), which does not give access to live races, or F1 TV Pro ($10.99/month or $84.99/year) with live race access. You can watch F1 TV on the web, iOS or Android, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Chromecast, and more.
Apple TV+
An underrated sports streaming service is Apple TV+, which has a Sports category that offers more than meets the eye. Apple TV+ is known for its collection of TV shows, movies, and exclusives, but it also houses many live and scheduled sports events. With an MLS Season Pass, for instance, you can watch every live Major League Soccer match and access match highlights, schedules, standings, and recordings of past matches. You can also watch Friday Night Baseball with an Apple TV+ subscription.
Through Apple TV+, you can watch multiple games at the same time, access pre and post-game shows, see games in progress with updated scores, and even listen to the local radio, if available. To keep a close eye on your favorite teams, you can follow them and get notified about their upcoming games.
An Apple TV+ subscription costs $9.99/month after a seven-day free trial. To make the most out of your subscriptions, you can also try bundling other Apple services with an Apple One subscription.
DAZN
DAZN is a one-stop place for sports fans who are looking for a personalized experience. Not only can you stream events live and on-demand, you can also socialize and connect with fellow members from your sports community. DAZN comes across as a sports streaming service with a twist, with features like live chats, real-time stats, “Fight Cards” for boxing matches, and more.
DAZN’s Fanzone is where the fun happens: you can chat in real-time, send reactions, and participate in polls. You can also buy merchandise and tickets from DAZN’s store. Streaming on DAZN includes over ten linear TV channels that stream content around the clock. You can also watch every game with an NFL Game Pass.
DAZN’s subscription plans include the monthly ($29.99/month), annual ($224.99/year), and Flexible Pass ($24.99/month). You can customize your base plan with add-on subscriptions that you can bundle with your subscription, such as Rally TV and Courtside 1891. DAZN lets you stream simultaneously on multiple devices as long as they are registered, and any devices that are signed into your account are eligible for playback.
Another option, especially if you are a cord-cutter, is to try out live-streaming services that let you add your favorite sports channels as add-ons. This can be done through many platforms offering live TV channels and can be a very economical option that lets you add a small additional fee on top of existing subscriptions.
