Why IPTV beats cable and streaming for sports
No blackouts
IPTV carries international sports broadcasts that often show games without the regional blackout restrictions that frustrate cable and streaming subscribers.
No sports package add-ons
Cable companies charge separately for sports tiers. IPTV sports channels are included in a single subscription — no additional sports package fee.
Every device
Watch on your TV, phone, tablet, or laptop. Switch from the big screen to your phone mid-match without losing the stream.
International coverage
Watch domestic and international broadcasts of the same game simultaneously. Follow teams in leagues that cable rarely airs in full.
How to get the best sports stream quality
Use ethernet if possible
A wired connection is always more stable than Wi-Fi during live sport. If ethernet is not practical, place your router as close to the streaming device as possible.
Use 25 Mbps minimum
HD live sport needs at least 25 Mbps. 4K sport streams benefit from 50 Mbps or more. Run a speed test on the device you plan to use, not your phone.
Test before the big match
Use the free trial to test stream quality during a regular game first. Do not find out there is a problem five minutes before kick-off.
Pick the right app
TiviMate and IPTV Smarters Pro both support fast channel switching and EPG data so you can browse sport schedules without leaving the player. See the head-to-head comparison to pick between them.
