Which Competitions are available for Football Live Streaming?

There are plenty of football live streaming options available for fans to choose from every weekend and most evenings in the week. As previously mentioned bookmakers have stepped up their coverage for sports over the last couple of years, meaning that there’s another way for fans to stream their favourite sports at an affordable cost. Here are some of the prominent football leagues and cups available to live stream currently across the bookmakers featured on Squawka.

FA Cup Live Streaming

The FA Cup came under storm in the 19/20 season when it was revealed that the oldest cup competition in football was available to be streamed by several bookmakers including Bet365, William Hill, Ladbrokes, Unibet, Coral and Paddy Power. VIewing rights were available for the competition from round 3, before the tournament was postponed for coronavirus and offers viewers an opportunity to watch UK football without expensive subscription services such as Now TV or BT Sports.

Bundesliga Live Streaming

BT Sport currently own the exclusive rights to broadcast the Bundesliga in the UK on satellite TV, but several bookmakers also own the rights as part of their bet and watch platforms as well. Punters and fans can benefit from bookmakers such as Bet 365 and William Hill’s coverage of Bundesliga live streaming to watch matches involving the big clubs in Germany including Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and high-flying RB Leipzig. Der Klassiker live streaming is the highlight of the season.

La Liga Live Streaming

La Liga is probably the biggest league in the world outside of the UK and hosts arguably the two biggest clubs in world football in Barcelona and Real Madrid, which is why it’s surprising that the major sports broadcasters Sky & BT haven’t attained the rights this season. La Liga fans looking to stream the matches in Spain can do so through the bookmakers highlighted on this page and are currently able to do so at no extra cost. El Clasico live streaming has been a highlight of the La Liga season as well as the Madrid rivalry and Barcelona Espanyol.

Serie A Live Streaming

Serie A is currently embroiled in it’s most competitive season in years, prior to the coronavirus pandemic. Lazio, Juventus and Inter Milan were fighting it out for top spot and customers from Bet365, Coral and more bookmakers were able to watch a variety of games in the season. No official word has been stated regarding when or if the title race will resume, but if/when it does, the bookmakers featured on this page will be able to live stream Serie A fixtures.

Eredivisie Live Streaming

The Eredivisie has been the hot bed for a lot of the up and coming talent for Europe’s major clubs as the dutch clubs budgets mean they have to focus on bringing through young talented players rather than splashing the millions on a ready made product. An exciting league with Dutch giants Ajax, PSV & Feyenoord has plenty of action available, and fans can watch Eredivisie live streams throughout the season.

Bet Live Stream

Bookmakers are in a super competitive market, with it becoming increasingly difficult to add extra value to their customers other than offering better odds, free bets and betting offers. The introduction of bet live streams gives fans even more coverage of their favourite sports. Competitions such as the FA Cup, Carabao Cup, Bundesliga, La Liga etc. have all been included on the platforms for some of the bookmakers listed on this page at some stage over the last couple of years, so punters and fans alike can be assured that the quality of football on offer is at the top tier of the game, whilst also covering many niche leagues and competitions for fans at all levels.

Watch and bet live streaming is a very popular method of live streaming for horse racing and greyhound racing fans. Tennis live streaming has also become increasingly popular as the popularity of the game as a betting market has increased, allowing fans and punters to keep up-to-date with the game in the most immersive way possible. We expect watch and bet football to grow as fans look to live streaming football matches to predict the likeliness of any in-play betting markets or when deciding whether to cash out on their bets or not.

Restrictions for Live Streaming

The main restriction to live streaming football is that users looking to the bookmakers as an outlet for live streaming must be 18 years or older in the UK (for any other location you must be at the legal age to bet in order to sign up).

Licensing rights for sports tournaments differ for each location, meaning that multi-national betting companies football live streaming offering will be different from country to country – similarly to how other streaming platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime’s offering changes from country to country.

Do you need to place a bet on a match to live stream football?

Some sports live streaming markets, such as horse racing for example, require punters to place a bet on the races they want to live stream with a stake of £1 or more in order to live stream the event. This isn’t the case for football live streaming at the time of writing, most bookmakers require punters to have a positive balance in their account in order to live stream.

Each football live streaming platform will have its own restrictions, ensure to read their T’s & C’s and follow any required steps to access the live streaming.
