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.
