Best apps to watch live sport
Rights are sold sport by sport and country by country, so no service carries everything. Each guide below lists only the apps that publish rights to that sport, what each one costs and which are free to air.
- Football 49 apps No single app carries all of football. The Champions League, the Premier League and every domestic league are sold separately and country by country, so the right app depends far more on where you are than on which match you want. Best apps to watch football On your phone
- American football 11 apps In the United States the NFL is split across CBS, FOX, NBC and ESPN/ABC, each with its own streaming app, and college football runs on a second set of networks again. The cheapest route is usually whichever app carries the channel showing your game. Best apps to watch American football On your phone
- Basketball 10 apps The NBA's US games sit with ESPN/ABC and NBC's Peacock, and the international picture changes country by country — Disney+ across Latin America, Sky in Italy, Kayo in Australia. Best apps to watch basketball On your phone
- Ice hockey 4 apps The NHL is a North American story: ESPN in the United States, TSN and Sportsnet in Canada, with ABC taking the Stanley Cup Final free over the air. Best apps to watch ice hockey On your phone
- Baseball 5 apps MLB reaches most viewers through a mix of national broadcasters and regional sports networks, so an out-of-market pass and a local channel solve different halves of the problem — check which one your team falls into before you pay. Best apps to watch baseball On your phone
- Tennis 10 apps Tennis is a season of separate events: each Grand Slam is sold on its own, and the ATP and WTA tours again after that. Most viewers end up with one app for the Slams and another for the tour weeks. Best apps to watch tennis On your phone
- Cricket 3 apps Cricket rights follow the home board: England's summer, South Africa's Proteas and Australia's BBL each sit with a different broadcaster, and a tour is carried by whoever holds the host country. Best apps to watch cricket On your phone
- MMA 3 apps UFC moved to Paramount+ in the United States for 2026 while TNT Sports keeps it in the UK and Ireland, and DAZN carries PFL across most of its markets. There is no single global app. Best apps to watch MMA On your phone
- Motorsport 12 apps Formula 1, MotoGP, NASCAR and Supercars are each sold separately and per country — Sky in the UK and Italy, Canal+ in France, Kayo in Australia — while some markets keep highlights, or one home race, free to air. Best apps to watch motorsport On your phone
- Rugby 6 apps Union and league split apart quickly. The Six Nations and the Rugby World Cup lean free-to-air in the UK, while Premiership, the URC, the Top 14 and the NRL each sit behind a different subscription. Best apps to watch rugby On your phone
- Golf 7 apps The four majors are spread across broadcasters, and the PGA Tour's week-to-week coverage is sold separately again — so "watching golf" usually means a major on one service and the tour on another. Best apps to watch golf On your phone

A service is listed under a sport because it publishes rights to competitions in it — never as a claim about one fixture. Rights and prices change by season and country; confirm on the service's own site before subscribing.
