Sometimes it can be hard to find the best sport streaming sites, as there are not really that many places to go. You may be abroad or your cable TV may not offer the sports event due to channel restrictions. Sometimes you might need to pay extra to watch major sporting events. This is why I have made an easy list of the best live sport websites for 100% free streams. Such sites are great to watch live rugby, soccer, football, MMA (UFC), and basketball. You can also stream many other games such as golf, baseball (MLB), ice hockey, or boxing. Each site in the table below is ranked based on: the absence of ads & pops-ups, ease of use, image quality, and the overall user-experience. Now you have a quick reference to access at any time. A complete description of each site will be available at the end of the table.

💡 Did you know: many of the best live sport streams (high quality, no ads, no buffering) are watched via p2p torrent transmission. Such technology guarantees better quality video and efficient distribution for major events. Here’s how it works: while watching the stream you (the Acestream program on your device) simultaneously re-transmits it to other devices nearby – thus ensuring 100% up-time for everyone. Some of the sub-reddits below will often have “content IDs” for p2p sport streaming. You can read this Acestream guide for more information.

📽️ Movie lovers: try these top 20 sites to watch free movies online.
(also excellent places for TV shows, documentaries, and cartoons)
Here are the best live sport sites:
- Always online with over 95% uptime – even during the biggest events like the champions league
- Every sports streams are available including those unheard of events. Yes – that’s poker too
- Nicely categorized sections with eleven separate lists: Football, NFL, Basketball, Baseball, Handball, Hockey, Rugby, Tennis, Volleyball, and Motorsports.
- An abundance of links to choose from with over updates every 15 minutes
- For football it is possible to search by competition: Ligue 1, Bundesliga, FA Cup, La Liga, Serie A, Copa Brasil.
- Mirrors should be made available for visitors from restricted countries.
- Surprisingly easy to see when a match is currently live or not
- A popular instant chat keeps the discussion going long after half-time
- The crew have designed the site with each discipline in mind – especially baseball, american football, darts, & golf.
- Each major international sports channel is available to watch live anytime
- More activity on social networks would be great to keep fans engaged
- Quite the opposite impression when I see other pages with the same design
- Attractive user interface. Very easy to navigate the site
- Upcoming sports streams are announced several days before hand
- Users can make an account and participate in the community
- Broad range of European live sports streaming such as athletics, bandy, futsal, handball, winter sport, billiard, floorball, table tennis, cycling, equestrianism, greyhound racing, and combat.
- Users in the UK are reportedly not able to access the site
- Perhaps more NFL streams and other American sports would be most welcome
- A prime website for both American football and soccer
- Fast loading pages. Easy to get quick access.
- Auto-refresh will keep the free football stream updated regularly
- Front page may look slightly outdated. Needs a redesign.
- Alternative matches are not offered straight up and need to be found on secondary pages.
- Possible to select your current timezone & display kick-off times appropriately
- Straight-forward layout & presentation
- Less/no adds that impeded watching
- I would suggest a more attractive logo and color pairing be used while keeping the simplicity advantage
- Updating happens slightly slower than on the preceding sites above.
- Appealing use of icons and colors make an easy to use website
- Search bar allows users to type a specific game & get information on start time and more
- A highly regarded soccer streaming site. Also for Gaelic, field hockey, and swimming.
- Not so great for baseball (MLB)
- Site often changes domain name (URL) so it can be hard to keep up with location
- Completely free to broadcast onto your PC just like every site listed here
- Most presentable graphics are used through out the site
- Traffic has been increasing by 20 thousand new users each month
- Live chat seems to disconnect after a while on inactivity
- Half time sometimes causes the broadcast to stop unexpectedly. Rare occurrence.
- Widespread recognition among experts as a reliable platform
- Presentation is basic and to the point
- Always the best links are included
- Some users dislike the lack of style thorough the site
- Not great for finding smaller games and competitions
- A powerful search tool to find each match quickly
- Professional and free service provided with no signup or registration
- Clear layout with separate sections and suggested streams
- Excellent for American sports like NFL, NBA, NHL
- Not so great for European leagues
- Extended down-time hampered evolution in the past
-
The first was to actually be physically present at the event. This would mean buying tickets beforehand and then traveling to the location. Getting to see it first-hand and participate in the atmosphere is definitely the most exhilarating choice. The problem was that when competitive sport got ultra commercialized, prices started to rise and rise. Now people just can’t afford to attend all their favorite club encounters. So they turned to TV.
-
The second option was to tune in a TV set and follow the match from home. This was all fine and dandy until our everyday lives got globalized. As TV sets were just too cumbersome to carry around, people on trips would just have to miss the game. Then came the internet.
Batmanstream
With just over 15 million unique visitors each month and 20% of that originating from the USA, this is one of the best places to watch sports live for free. But what is it that makes this site so much more popular than others? Let’s take a look and see.
Fans flock here to watch live football, rugby, NBA, and NHL streams. Users are delighted to find a friendly chat widget on the right panel where heated debates are undertaken regarding the latest event. Batmanstream was also known under a different name prior to a URL change (Drakula). It has now been four years that this platform is setting standards in the industry. Bloggers usually place them in #1 position throughout most guides to stream sports online.
Pros
Cons
Cricfree
Cricfree offer simplicity and user-friendliness like no other site. The landing page clearly defines a schedule with present hour, following hour, and coming weekend. This makes for an easy selection and allows users to check in advance if their match will be streamed. I particularly enjoy that ads are indicated and users are informed when a certain link is sponsored. Rest assured: most games are indeed available and links are updated regularly. Voted the best sport streaming website by bloggers and users alike. The best feature about this platform is that all NFL streams are ad-free.
Pros
Cons
Livetv
Here we have another champion with over 25 million visitors per month and a large selection of disciplines for free live sports streaming. Most people report that this platform has a intuitive UI. I’ve taken a screenshot for us to examine together:
The site is divided into three subsections also. There is a page for live scores and one for video archives – in case you missed the match it is possible to come back an watch it later. Let me remind readers that only 10% of visitors are from the US. It really is a huge hit in Europe – especially so in Germany, France, and Italy. The platform is offered in five different languages. That has to be my favorite feature, but there are others:
Pros
Cons
Myp2p
Myp2p have evolved over time. Initially the site was more blog-like, but now it brings to life a whole world of entertainment online. The slogan suggests a multitude of ideas: “My peer to peer: the best guide for all your live sports.” Cricket and Ice-hockey are well-represented here, as are most other disciplines. The team behind this platform also suggest it is a top notch place for finding UEFA and Champions League streams. You will indeed find virtually every single live football match to watch. The page updates every five minutes so no need to keep hitting that F5 button.
Pros
Cons
Feed2all
Now when I initially starting researching this list of sites to watch sports online free I was compelled to include Feed2all because of its simplicity. The landing page is easy on the eyes, and by that I mean there is no glare should you be watching in a dark room. All upcoming games are listed with a illustrative logo next to each:
It’s a no-brainer to get watching live boxing, UFC, and WWE. There’s also cricket, Formula1, MotoGP, and snooker. The only downside comes with the rare offline moments when thousands of users need to check back here to find an alternative site.
Pros
Cons
Vipbox
A fabulous site which is gaining over 20% more visitors each month. In my opinion this is due to the splendid layout with large icons representing each sport and 7 different languages attracting crowds from all over the globe. Leagues offered include NCAAB, College Football, and F1. If you want to watch live sport streams then do please visit this site. My love for watching badminton and the AFL only grows when I browse through Vipbox. Another bonus lies with the age of this platform as it has actually been running for approximately 5 years. What does this mean to online spectators? Simply that more links are made available and the administrators know which are best to prioritize. Furthermore the broadcast is very likely to stay connected throughout the whole match.
Pros
Cons
Mamahd
If there is one site to watch the champions league live then this has to be it. Mamahd is highly admired in the UK and USA. With 5 million visitors every month, of which 40 percent originates from Europe alone. For the most part users can find every single event – from gymnastics to horse racing, and from the English Premier League to College Basketball. As you can see there are 7 advantages:
It’s a no-brainer to get watching live boxing, UFC, and WWE. There’s also cricket, Formula1, MotoGP, and snooker. The only downside comes with the rare offline moments when thousands of users need to check back here to find an alternative site.
Pros
Cons
Goatdee
You may ask me why I included such an empty site void of content. Well guess what? This happens to be one of the best places in my list. I only rank it lower because the site may lack the esthetic appeal through use of complex CSS and other animations. But for online sports there is no better website. It is recommended to browse through the list of available links just before jump ball time. There is always between 10 to 15 broadcasts per upcoming event. It seems all the Manchester United matches get Goatdee the most visits relatively speaking.
Pros
Cons
Streamwoop
Overall I quite enjoy the look of Streamwoop. Here is a screenshot to give you an idea how easy it is to use:
Last year the amount of coverage grew by 170% in the USA. North American visits represent an overwhelming proportion of users to this place. The end run lies with how things are set out: trending events, replays, live competitions, and todays games. If you ask me that is exactly how I expect to view a website dedicated to showing sports on the internet. Reading through forums I have noticed more members are advising Streamwoop over alternatives. Understandably repeat users are on the increase with 79% returning within one year.
Pros
Cons
Which is better? Stream Sports Online vs Watch on TV.
TV
A television is defined as a screen that receives images through terrestrial radio waves, cable, or satellite. Before the rise of the internet there were only two ways of actually watching sport.
Streaming
Today with modern laptops, chromecast, or HDTVs and fiber fast internet we can simply connect to our favorite sites and watch all and every sporting event right in our web-browser for free. We can do this from anywhere around the world, anytime, and on the go. This means that followuping international championships and keeping up with our local clubs has become accessible, feasible, and affordable once again. In fact streaming sports has become so popular that global brands such as Amazon have plans to provide it with their Prime service for movies. Rumors hint at other industry leaders possibly making similar moves.
Jokerlivestream one of the best IMO for any sport its the most stable especially sports like football and rugby
I understand it can get super annoying sometimes. If you can not access sports streams from a specific region, then try using a vpn. Only or mostly its the paid ones that support streams
good point callum. i love using a vpn
i just love this type of blogs and your content is exelent
I like to watch Mobdro APK to online live TV channels full HD result
Which one is the best site for UFC coverage- it seems like they keep taking off more and more free sites that contain UFC- we can’t even find post fight full fight videos.
why you list pages like cricfree, sportlemon and so on so much at top thos epages are malware hosts and at the other hand clean pages like stream2watch that low, like that page doenst have all that malicious ads as well as working on mobile. The listing needs update it used to be way better past years.
Thanks Laura, I’m always removing the malware sites. The ones listed here are all safe, provided you ignore popups and use an adblocker like ublock origin.
What sites do you enjoy most ?
The best is “BCE Premium TV”.
Streamwoop is really the best for me! It’s not only US and Canada sports, I’m watching European soccer league on this site.
I’m a UFC and boxing fan looking for a free streaming site. I use Chrome as my browser. What’s your suggestion. I’m not tech savvy so would I need a particular software to gain access to a streamin site. I would appreciate your input.
What’s up with goatd?
Tracy Goatd lost much traffic in recent months. I removed their listing here and replaced with some alternative sport streaming sites.
hello we can have a contact with admin
Hi Besi, the email is available in the footer
amazing List – by far the best is the stream2watch page especially for NFL and TV – good work man can you do same list for live TV and series ? loving it
thanks, the encouragement is always appreciated. Happy to hear the feedback about stream2watch. Lots of guys use it for NFL streams outside the USA.
> same list for live TV and series ?
Done! For movies and TV series go to bestfreestreaming.com now as the directory for good sites
I use an adblocker. When I visit stream2watch I get a message to disable the blocker. Will this open me up to malicious pop-ups? Sorry if this is a stupid question-I’m not too tech savvy.
I agree, there’s no simple solution to those pop ups. Just use a different site in the list.
yeah great list ! for me as well stream2watch is amazing place they have so many streams in different language and quality as well as not too many ads. What i saw in this amazing list anyways only the order is weird
I wonder why the best pages dont rank better like stream2watch you rank at 20 you rank the mother of sports streaming at the end ? and pages liek cricfree that are full of low quality feeds on top ? i dont get it anyways found some nice new pages on here but your sorting makes no sense at all
Good points Pete, thanks. I rank each sport streaming site based on the number of users they get and how many links are available for each game. I like the fact that you know stream2watch. What order would you have in the top 10 ?
Yeah Pete totally agree on that – very nice list thats a must bookmark for everyone. I as well see many really good pages listed at the bottom. Stream2watch is the best for US Sports and TV by far for years , batmanstream, goadthe those are the real reliable pages over the past years
Lima good to see you sharing that advice regarding goadthe, and batmanstream
Amazing gathered ! But anybody will say, which site is the best overall? round the list.
great but
i did not see skorlive site
Mobdro is one of the best application for online streaming as it comes all the tv channel live show at free of cost so I will recommend you to download this application
I always use Satellite Streams. It’s the only free site I know that doesnt have those freaking annoying ads!!!
So first of all good work with these sport sites. I’ve gotta say that it’s now easier to stream the football matches easily on my pc with these places. Which ones do people here like for ice hockey, rugby, or the NBA?
thanks Harry you have done a wonderful job. I now have some upto date football sites for watching with my family during big games 🙂 I’m looking into the Acestream tips that you suggested now. I’ve seen other comments online saying that the stream quality is great… let’s see
Let me know how your experience streaming different sports on Acestream goes! I’m curious to hear from readers about this, as it’s a new addition here.
Have to say Harry, you’ve done an excellent list of sites for watching live sport easily when you don’t have cable tv and can only connect online. All of the places you have reviewed work surprisingly well for streaming football, rugby, basketball, UFC, and especially those NHL games i love to watch 🙂 we much appreciate your knowledge of online sport here
Many thanks Harry 🙂 🙂 i was able to stream the golf yesterday. Shared your site with my uncle because he was looking to stream boxing and soccer – which worked marvelously for him !
Cool Thomas. Let me know which site(s) worked best for streaming the golf live
Hi Harry, I tried endlessly to get a good stream through my PS4 for the Valspar PGA tour . Seems that Streamwoop worked best. Many thanks for the work you put in!
Outstanding ranking of live sport streaming websites. I’ve been using these recommended sites for over 5 months and i really like that you keep updating whenever a new site comes online. oh and btw that stream2watch is amazing thx !
Lars I really enjoyed reading your feedback. These kind of comments is what keeps me going and motivated. I’m regularly on the lookout for the best sport streaming platforms and always update here as soon as I hear of somewhere new that offers a top-notch live experience to all free viewers 🙂
Very helpful, thank you for sharing your skill about watching sport online here with us newbies !!
Thx for this great list tested all and the stream2watch website is by way the best – so tons of different sources per events as well they have live TV – working on mobile as well.
Thx
Cool Adam, I’ve noted your feedback regarding the stream2watch site. What exactly do you enjoy most about it ? Which type of sports do you watch on stream2watch ?
Any clue as to the best stream to watch the Olympics? Thanks all!
Heather, all these sites will have streams for the Olympics
Special thanks to you because I’m now able to access all 256 games live or on-demand. So far I streamed NFL Red Zone, NFL Network 24/7, the entire NFL Films Archive, and much more. These sites are 100% real, totally free, and very much trusted by millions of people (as their stats show).
Happy to hear that you found so many NFL streams using these sites. Be sure to let us know if you have any more recommendations about new sports sites to add here.
Plenty of top quality sites for streaming sport in tv and HD quality here. Have to say it’s a good ranking of the best sites. Will bookmark this list
Reddit soccer streams is a good one or others u can get on reddit
Hey Alexander, good one! Reddit is a great place to get easy access to live sport streams especially because the moderators keep the links updated in real time. I’ve found that if a stream goes down, then the mods will immediately update it. 🙂
Hi, Harry Thanks for putting together this list of absolute amazing places watch every NFL game imaginable! My wife and I are litterally over the moon with joy (since our cable tv sub was terminated) we’re now using wifi to get live sport stream in 4KHD TV – and the best part is that thanks to your list and review, it’s now totally free for us to watch. No more monthly subscription ever.
Can these apps be connected to smart TVs?
Of course you can connect most of these sites on smartTVs. Here are your options:
– Use chromecast (best choice if your tv is not “smart” per se) via HDMI and wifi to stream from your PC/laptop/smartphone right onto your TV.
– Simply find the web browser on your smartTV and choose one of the above live sport sites that offers HTML5 streams (these best work on smartTVs because there’s no flash player).
Wow these place really let you watch Every NFL game for 2018 live online, and you dont even need to pay for it. This has got to be the cheapest way to watch NFL Games right?? I’ve bookmarked your page Harry, i love your website 🙂 🙂
Thanks for all your hard work. Bookmarking this site and will definitely check back frequently.
Cheers Jake, I appreciate the encouragement. My hard work will continue through 2018 and 2019
cant remember which one i clicked on, but one of your 10 best, takes you to free sport site for streaming most live matches. works real good espeicaly for football. cheers for listing these reviews and all the details are amazingly helpful
perfect ! nice reviews, most of these places work marvelously for me
gotta say that this has been the most helpfull website i’ve found. there’s really lots of quality information about finding decent sports sites to stream games. Thank u harry for providing this information because i’ve been able to watch all my soccer, sugby, WWE, UFC, NCAACF, NFL, and CFL streams in litterally under 3 or 4 clicks. Some streams were slightly easierWhat to find. For example with NASCAR, NBA, EPL, NRL, F1, I had no problem watching these. My girlfriend really loves Moto GP so I’ve also shared this page with her. We often plug in her laptop to the… Read more »
Nice feedback there. I’ve found that the LiveTV site works amazingly for finding live European sport streams – eg Bundesliga, or SerieB.
Thanks for the quality work you have done writing up this page & listing all your favorite live sport sites, it was rather useful indeed 🙂 I’ve managed to disconnect my cable tv now and only stream using my internet, PC, and HMDI plugged into the TV. An outstanding experience because I can now get live streams for football, soccer, rugby, tennis, golf, hockey. I’ve even been able to watch all basketball (NBA) matches and some european leagues also.
Hey great work. Small help needed. Am in India currently and it seems the govt here has blocked a lot of the sites u mentioned. Any new sites/ alternatives you might suggest?? Am really interested in American sports. Thanks so much.
Thanks for the excellent list, I know you mentioned pop ups a couple of times but what is the user experience like with popup & malware at?
Should we be going through a VPN?
Hi 🙂 Great questions. I only list sites that have an established reputation within the sport streaming industry. Some places have questionable ads that pop up at inconvenient times, yes. I’m noticing that Adblock is less effective these days for preventing unwanted pop ups. Any site that I spot pushing malware gets removed immediately from my list.
I only promote the best places to stream live sports. Entries are updated on a weekly basis, so you’ll notice new names appearing in my reviews.
Which one are the best for North American Sports
FuboTv is a nice places for North American sport streams such as football, ice hockey, basketball, and baseball. You can use their free trial to watch any available major game for USA and Canada (plus some other countries).
I’ve been using the free trial on FuboTV. It’s been working great for watching all USA sports live on my PC (i travel abroad a lot). It’s free but then renews into a sub so do follow this if you don’t want to sign up to anything.
I really love this list of live sport sites I’ve been using it for 2 years faithfully. Can we include streamhunter?
Stream hunter is already included, and has been for over a year 🙂
Will one of the above be streaming the money fight of Mayweather vs McGregor ?
only if you can go back in time
thanks for the free nfl football streams :_
What´s the Internet address of the first web site (batmanstream)?
If you click on the image, then the link should bring you straight through to the batmanstream website
I used to watch hockey on vipbox and lemon sport but now am being blocked. When I clicked on Batmanstream it asked me to register. What can I watch for free without having to register or pay with someone? I am not too tech savvy so dumb it down for me.
All the sites from number 1 down will let you watch sport streams for free. Perhaps you should try from another computer. Batmanstream is one of the industry leaders when it comes to providing quality fast-loading streams.
really great list. So happy I found this gem of a site – but really good quality streams. i will share it 🙂
The place I’ve been using is sporthd.me
Looks good, thanks for suggesting this site. It has over 1500k monthly visitors 🙂
please give me a good sport site to watch cricket?
I’ve watched Cricket perfectly on Batmanstream.
Some excellent sites reviewed here Harry, good work man! Just to say, I have had far better history with sites other than BatmanStream…..to the point I no longer even consider it as a choice anymore
Noted Marcus, I’ll look into Batmastream right now and update the list if necessary
Trying to view many of these sites on my PS4 browser and nothing works. Do you have to use a computer to stream?
Here’s the thing with PS4 and Xbox browsers: they don’t run Flash Player. Most sports streaming websites use the flash player to deliver their video to you the viewer. Some websites may start using HTML5, but that is some time away for now…
Harry has same great sport sites listed here – for example Cricfree works a wonder, livetv works nicely too. Alternatively try reddit streams for sports i do it all the time on ps4 (lots of HTML5 streams that don’t require flash to play)
The Livetv site doesn’t work anymore 🙁
I’ve just watched two games on Livetv and it works fine
Livetv works great for me. What message are you getting? I’m watching a live NFL stream on it right now. It’s slightly pixelated but who cares 🙂
hello.nice collection of streaming site. You can enjoy all sports and movies on it.
I love your recommendations. Do you perhaps know of a site that streams South African sports channels like Supersport?
You know that’s a really good question. I would recommend trying the Liveonsat site for getting sports channels from specific countries
On my website I am showing the shots of NFL games live.
It is one of the best websites for NFL games.
Thanks for keeping it upto date. By the way can i share your list on my blog?
Yes, please feel free to share this list with friends and family 🙂
thanks, dude, this is the site I have been searching for a free sport streaming site. now I have 24!!
Why on this list is not Streamsports?
Hey thanks for the question. I do know that many fans here love the streamsports website. I feel that the other sites listed are slightly better for international sports (both US and European games like football streams, soccer, basketball, cricket, rugby, and NHL). Let’s see how things progress and update in due time.
