1. Batmanstream

Watch live for free: Batmanstream

Batmanstream is widely regarded as one of the best free sports streaming sites around, providing a host of mirror links to a wide variety of sports including basketball, American football, baseball, hockey, motor racing, rugby, tennis, volleyball, golf, UFC, wrestling, and many other sports.

With an intuitive, clean, and well-organized design, Batmanstream has been around for many years. The features are easy to access, the options are plentiful, and the website is user-friendly. The navigation is very straightforward as well.

The sports categories are listed across the top, and clicking on them reveals a filtered list of sports streaming that day in that subdivision. The “All” page lists all of the sports that set the stream that day.

The site’s downside is its massive amount of pop-ups, clicking on which can be risky. As streaming live sports without paying for the rights to do so is not legal, sites rely on advertisers to sponsor them to have the ability to keep operational and sidestep copyright laws.

Advertisers supporting these sites may post questionable ads that may redirect you to sites full of malware and potentially steal personal data. Some mirror links on the site will be regionally blocked, though, in many of those cases, the use of a VPN can unlock these streams by tricking the site into not knowing where you are actually located.

Pros

  • Clean UI
  • Wide variety of sports

Cons

  • Pop-ups
  • Redirect ads

2. LiveTv.sx

LiveTV homepage: Gardy Philogene/Gotechtor

Watch live for free: LiveTV.sx

LiveTv.sx is one of the most diverse and robust free sports streaming sites out there. Not only does it offer a wide variety of live broadcasts in many sports, including football, ice hockey, basketball, baseball, tennis, soccer, NHL, volleyball, table tennis, cricket, darts, and more, it even has streams to e-sports, live scoreboards, and a video archive treasure trove of all the recent and historical game highlights.

The site is geared more to a European audience, presenting a wider variety of sports not as rigidly followed in the U.S., so there is not much along the way of American football (though it’s not unheard of), but there is a healthy variety of about everything else.

The UI is intuitive and easy to use, and unlike some sites that list only streams for the day, live streams are listed and announced days in advance. The categories are laid out on the screen, allowing you to simply drill down to the category and streaming event you want.

As with most other free sports streaming services, the streaming of content without copyright ownership is not legal, so copyright laws are violated with pretty much every available stream. Your country’s government may block the site and its streams, but using a VPN can help get around that issue.

Pros

  • Clean UI
  • Wide variety of sports

Cons

  • Pop-ups
  • Redirect ads
  • More European audience-oriented

3. Cricfree

Watch live for free: Cricfree.TV

Widely reputed as one of the best sites for user experience, Cricfree, as the name might hint, is a shout out to cricket fans. That is not to say that it is not inclusive of many other sports, however.

It’s a website especially appealing to fans of American football, baseball, and golf. It is a straight forward “click and watch” platform, where you can choose your preference of sports and leagues, and find the desired matchups.

The site provides information about upcoming games and matches. However, Cricfree is not a pure-to-form streaming site. Rather, it is a platform for links to generally reputable sports streaming websites. They do not provide streaming content of their own. Be aware that while using Cricfree you will get a large number of ads.

With so many links posted, however, it’s nearly impossible to verify that every link redirects to a genuine source. Streaming a match without streaming rights is regarded as piracy, but as just a link base, Cricfree does not fall into that category.

However, due to the chance of being taken to a malicious site or one that is streaming illegally. This could open you up to legal issues, so the use of a VPN to conceal your identity is always advisable, as well as getting around region-blocking issues.

Pros

  • Great user experience
  • Clean design
  • Wide variety of sports

Cons

  • Pop-ups
  • Redirect ads

4. Bosscast.net

Watch live for free: Bosscast.net

Bosscast is a bit different than other sports streaming platforms in that it does not feature a broken down navigation menu of different sports. It just lists the day’s events and their times right on the home page.

This makes the platform a little bit more challenging to use when finding the match or game that you want to watch, but it does have a list of categories that can be accessed as well.

Additionally, the site lists major channels like ESPN, Fox Sports, NBA TV, NFL Network, MLB Network, NBCSN, and many others on the left side of the home page to link to live streams from these and many other popular sports channels.

Bosscats also features a chat option after you register to chat with other people streaming the same matches and games on the site. What Bosscast does not have is a great reputation, as it has been reported to be a site loaded with malware as well as linking to ill-reputed sources, which can also download malware to your PC.

As with most other services of this nature, Bosscast is better off having its links accessed with a VPN for identity protection and bypassing regional censoring issues.

Pros

  • Simple interface
  • Wide variety of sports

Cons

  • Pop-ups
  • Redirect ads
  • Malware

5. SportRAR.tv

Watch live for free: SportRAR.tv

SportRAR.tv is another sports streaming site that links to a slew of illegally streamed sports broadcasts. They offer a variety of professional basketball, hockey, and football league choices, as well as collegiate sports.

They also feature access to soccer matches, tennis, golf, and volleyball. The site has a simple layout with the sports category, as well as sub-categories of all available games, those finished, live, not yet started, or those on tv.

You can easily scroll through the day’s listings of events and choose one. Each will open its separate window. As most of these will likely land you on questionable sites, have everything in place before clicking the links.

Make sure your antivirus and malware software is up to date and your VPN is on to hide where you are watching from. Many videos on the platform include annoying pop-ups that display ads that, if clicked, even unintentionally, can take you to sites that will install malware on your PC.

Pros

  • Clean layout
  • Wide variety of different kind of sports

Cons

  • Pop-ups
  • Redirect ads

6. Live Streams on Reddit

Reddit Live Streams

Watch live for free: Reddit

If you ever want to talk about anything, Reddit is the community to fill your needs. But many users take advantage of this open conversation platform to give each other many links to watching sports of any sort. You can search the sub-reddits to find almost any sporting event you want and likely find someone linking to it.

The links can be questionable, but Reddit users can upvote or down-vote streams based on how legitimate the service or stream is. This can help find the safest, highest-quality links to your favorite sports. Reddit does not, of course, house its own streams.

Before clicking on the links, make sure your malware software is up to date and your VPN is on. While there is certainly a system for providing more quality links, streaming copyright-free sports is still illegal, and leagues do take steps to isolate only regionalized broadcasts, a matter that the VPN helps get around.

Pros

7. VIPRow Sports

Watch live for free: VIPRow Sports

VIPRow Sports is a one-stop-shop for nearly every one of your sports desires. It is a good choice for those seeking options from all over the world as it has links to broadcasts of the same matches from different countries and markets.

This streaming site offers great and simple navigation. Its homepage features a dark background with white thumbnails which present a wide range of sports for any taste.

Like most of the other members of this list, VIPRow doesn’t own, host, or upload any of the streams. They only link to third-party websites that host them.

Of course, there are advertisements and pop-ups, which can be annoying as other sports streaming site options.

Pros

  • Excellent user interface
  • Chromecast support

Cons

  • Pop-ups
  • Redirect ads

8. Stream2Watch

Stream2watch homepage: Gardy Philogene/Gotechtor

Watch live for free: Stream2watch

Stream2Watch is not only a live sports streaming site, they provide access to many live tv channels as well. Most channels sourced from the US work properly, though some European-based ones can be down.

They have a darker interface, making the site ideal for indoor viewing. On the flip side, Stream2watch is not a mobile-friendly site, so any watching that happens must be done on a PC.

They host multiple mirror links, though the navigation takes getting used to by newer users. Once they have found their way, they will have plenty of options for sports viewing, including football, hockey, cricket, basketball, cycling, American football, rugby, tennis, baseball, wrestling, UFC, and many others.

Since the site collects its streams from various sources, clicking the links takes users to other sites, likely full of annoying and malicious pop-ups. Regional blocking is an issue, but if you use a stable European or U.S. based VPN, you should have little issue on accessibility.

Pros

  • Clean UI
  • Wide range of different type of sports

Cons

  • Pop-up
  • Intrusive ads

9. Facebook Watch

Watch live for free: Facebook Watch

Arguably the most reliable platform for finding legitimate sports streams. That being said, the variety of legal means is not vast. Facebook Watch is a built-in feature of the Facebook platform that most are familiar with, so the interface should not be hard to learn.

The navigation simply requires the typing of the match or game you are interested in into the search bar, and results for legal means of watching it will be displayed. Some streams, like MLB, do limit how many free games a user is permitted to watch over a period of time.

One also has the option of joining groups related to their favorite sports teams. People in the group may share links to live streams of hard-to-find matchups. However, Facebook does not vet these links, so they could take people to questionable sites with malware and frustrating ads. Facebook itself has ads, too of course, but they tend not to be pop-ups, just sitting on the sides for noninvasive advertisement purposes.

Facebook is not typically regionally denied, so if you already have a Facebook account, you are likely to have the ability to access most legal streams without issue. For those links accessed through shared user comments, you may find yourself regionally blocked, where a VPN service would come in handy.

Pros

  • Easy navigation
  • Non-invasive ads

Cons

  • Limited variety of sports

10. Roja Directa

Roja Directa homepage
Roja Directa homepage: Gardy Philogene/Gotechtor

Watch live for free: Roja Directa

Roja Directa is a platform that hosts links to a variety of sporting events going on that day. While the navigation is dicey, having no distinct sports categories listed, the site is a type of real-time, dynamically updated directory of sporting events.

Links to these events can have numerous versions, so if one streaming link fails, there are others to try. They can also be broadcast in different languages.

As with other sites of this nature, where the links take you is unpredictable. They likely will take you to a stream of the sporting event you want, but as the sites, it takes you too are legally dubious. They are likely to be full of ads, most of them are invasive and potentially malicious, so it’s good to be ready with proper measures of avoidance.

Depending on where the links take you, the regional blocking might be a factor as well. A well-established VPN will “reposition” you to seem like you are watching from a place in the world where the regional limitations will not be a factor.

Pros

  • Wide variety of sporting events
  • Active community
  • Download link

Cons

  • Poor UI design
  • Redirect ads
