14 Best Streaming Services for Soccer Fans

One of the biggest draws of streaming services is live sports coverage. No longer a cable domain, sporting events are just as real-time and watchable on streaming as they are on traditional TV. The choices are plenty, but it gets tricky knowing which platforms are worth tuning into. 

If it's soccer—or if you're not American, football—you're specifically after, then we've rounded the streaming services you should consider adding to your lineup. The best streamer for Premier League fans is Peacock (the NBC-owned service has exclusive rights to the games), while those more interested in world soccer might want to look at ESPN+ and Paramount+ (the latter has rights to the European Cup). 

If you're willing to shell out a few more bucks, you can also consider Sling TV, which has Fox and ESPN, YouTube TV, which has a great DVR feature you can use to replay highlights, Hulu with Live TV, which has NBC (again, a must for Premier fans), and DirecTV Stream, which has a wide range of channels. Even the relatively unknown Vidgo and the non-sports-inclined AppleTV+ have their skin in the game. Vidgo has the all-important Fox and ESPN, while AppleTV+ has an MLS Season Pass for American soccer fans. 

Below is a full list of the best streaming services for soccer fans.

If you enjoy using the DVR option, Youtube TV is arguably the best option in the market for you: it gives you unlimited DVR storage on the Cloud (accessible from any of your devices), and it saves each of your recordings for 9 months. Also, you can share Youtube TV with up to six accounts, so if you have a big family, this is a much better option than getting a bunch of cheaper Live TV subscriptions. Youtube TV allows up to three accounts of the six to watch at the same time.

For the diehard soccer fan, Fanatiz is a streaming service dedicated to Latin American and Spanish soccer. Here, you'll get access to live and on-demand matches held by La Liga and Copa Libertadores, as well as complete coverage of Brazil's intense local competition Brasileirão. It's available in most countries worldwide, but North American viewers, in particular, will be glad to know that Fanatiz carries beIN and TyC Sports—vital channels that have exclusive rights to stream select leagues. 

Fanatiz has an $8 and $10 monthly tier, the latter of which gives you access to even more leagues and hours of VOD content. But we suggest you try the platform first (free for a week) to really test its quality and see how it stacks up to other similarly inclined services, like FuboTV.

One important thing to know: ESPN+ will not allow you to watch ESPN channels live. However, it has a lot of on-demand content that has aired on the channels and is a good way to watch some sports live.
