Looking to watch some sports again? Want to know the best live football streaming apps so that you can watch the Bundesliga, the Premier League, and others
If you are looking for the best overall live football streaming app to watch, DAZN is probably the most complete package, depending on which region you are connected to.
Want to watch the Premier League, Serie A, or the Champions League? The Canadian DAZN will give you that option, meanwhile, if you connect to the German DAZN, you will also get access to the Spanish league and very limited access to the Bundesliga.
DAZN is starting to launch worldwide; however, right now, to get the most out of it, the Candian or German DAZN is your best option.
How do you connect to them all? By using a VPN, which will allow you to switch between different DAZN regions. And PrivateVPN, it supports both the Canadian and German DAZN locations while also supporting the likes of Italian DAZN.
If you currently live in a location without DAZN, make sure to check out our guide on unblocking DAZN.

NowTV is a platform owned by Sky, bringing a huge benefit of you getting the Sky Sports channels and everything that comes with them, on your phone, laptop, or smart TV.
That means 11 sport channels that include the Premier league.
However, NowTV isn’t packed with football because there’s not that many leagues on Sky Sports, apart from the Premier League.
If the Premier League is your only concern though, that’s enough. Especially considering Sky Sports comes with some great non-football streaming of the likes of darts.

As the name suggests, FreeSports is a free sports platform.
...And yes, even though it is free, it’s also legal, so you won’t be having to deal with streams disappearing nor being slow.
The choices? Quite good considering this is a completely free service.
You aren’t going to get to pick exactly what games you can watch, but you will be able to watch even some of La Liga, while also having access to the likes of the Danish league, or even the Polish League, and for people living abroad that aren’t currently able to watch their domestic leagues, that might actually be exactly what they are looking for.
The premium extensions of FreeSports, Premier Sports, will offer you much more La Liga, while also offering you glimpses of the Premier League and others.

We can’t mention the best live football streaming apps without mentioning ESPN+.
ESPN, now owned by Disney, is the most affordable package here.
This is a platform that won’t perhaps bring you the Premier League, but it will bring a bunch of interesting leagues such as the Serie A, Coppa Italia, MLS, the Championship, Eredivisie, Chinese Super League, Danish Superliga, and the Swedish Allsvenskan.
Just like with pretty much all of the platforms so far mentioned in this guide, ESPN+ is also not available worldwide. And this all goes down to rights issues and the complexity of trying to do live football streaming apps across several countries. This is where once again, PrivateVPN comes in with servers that can unblock ESPN+ and guides that show you exactly how to make ESPN+ work.
You can try it out for 7-days, without a need for putting in your card, to see it for yourself.

Every country has its own national provider, and almost all of them show some sports.
This can be the Irish RTE Player, the British BBC or ITV, or the Swedish TV4 & SVT Play.
These platforms aren’t going to work outside of the countries where they are intended for, but with PrivateVPN, you can unblock them wherever you are, to unblock football streaming of leagues that you care about, that those national platforms might have, while others don’t.
Ultimately you have 3 options.
You can either get a standard TV package with sports that is completely overpriced and won’t show you everything you want.
...Or you can get some of these live football streaming apps to watch everything you want to watch, at a much better price.
Our recommendation?
