With more new people coming to the board thought a lil how to guide would be helpful with all the leagues. If im missing anything please post and I will update the OP.

For those who stream a VPN or Hola extension is a must have so you can jump around hoops.

Champions League - TV Foxsports and Sky/ITV for most people on this board. You can stream ITV matches off their website once you change your IP.

EPL- NBC Sports/overflow channels and Sky/BT. NBC Live extra(which is awful but it is what it is). Anyone who uses XMBC there is a NBC Sports EPL add on which actually works better than the live extra app. For it to work if you are living abroad make sure you have a US IP.

La Liga - BeIN Sports and Sky

Bundesliga - GolTV . In the UK usually ESPN or BT. Soon to be Fox in the US

Serie A - BeIN, ESPN UK/ BT, so if you are streaming look for those broadcast. They show lots of matches each week.

Ligue 1 - BeIN in the US, usually ESPN or BT in the UK.

MLS - ESPN/Watch ESPN, Fox, NBC Sports and now Sky

FA Cup- Foxsports in the US, BT/BBC in the UK. For anyone wanting to stream. Change your IP to a UK one and use the BBC iplayer for a HD stream for any match being shown on BBC. Usually 2 a weekend. For example United Arsenal on that monday night will be on bbc. For using UK stream if it ask for a post code using something like SW1A 2AA and if it ask if you have a tv license say yes.

For everyone who is pretty tech savy using something like XBMC is pretty awesome to find any match from anywhere. If anyone needs help I can give some tips. They also added an MLS streaming app. All of this stuff is free. When looking for English streams of non EPL/MLS matches Sky/ESPN UK are the ones to click on if posted somewhere. BeIN is in like 8 different languages

There are also usual streams posted in the soccer subreddit in the match threads or go to the soccer streams subreddit.


I have a thin client type PC dedicated to my tv that I use for Slingbox, WatchESPN, XBMC and other streaming.

DirecTV has extra channels I think in the end of the 500's or 700's that show all other EPL games that aren't on NBCSN or NBC.

Should list an example UK postcode in the original post so people don't ask each time it is needed. (SW1A 1AA, SW1A 0AA, or SW1A 2AA)

Also could mention to go to r/soccer, pull open desired match thread, and hope theres a good link there.

I've had good luck finding Everton Europa League games on Fox Sports this year, and through the app as well. Hope it continues, but I think you can add that to the Champions League section.

Great thread.

I know everyone complains about NBC live extra and the fox sports app but I have literally never had an issue with either of these on my iPad. Always work like a charm.

Maybe it's user error

AT&T U-verse also uses overflow channels for EPL games not on NBCSN

Channels are 1691-1697, and they actually are pretty nice

Hola extension for Chrome is amazing. I use it for League Pass to watch Pelicans games in BR.

I find that I can watch most of the football I want on Live Extra or FoxSportsGo. I don't have cable because my wife and I don't watch TV, so I pay my folks a few bucks a month and use their logins.

For Sky/ITV and any other foreign broadcasters, if I use Hola, is that all I need? Is it like ABC/NBC here, where if you have internet, you can watch, and you don't need a cable subscription of any kind?

Fubo.tv is $7 a month and lets you stream BeIn Sports and Gol TV, plus a few other channels in HD.

Also, Hola is great but I haven't found it to be any use for watching soccer games.

If I buy the Fox Soccer Channel on DirectTV will it unlock all of the channels in the 500's that are labeled UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League? I already get all the prem games that are right next to them on the guide. Is BeIN better to have than the Fox Soccer Channel? Both are about 15 bucks a month on DirectTV.

This needs an overhaul. XBMC isn't even a thing anymore. But if anyone needs some good hookups for lesser know repositories on KODI I can help with dat.

Is atdhe.net still safe? It went through a lot of name changes. Really want to get into the Championship more.

Edit: .net is still shut down by the government but looks like atdhe.ru is the link. Used to use the site a lot but got scared of getting viruses so I stopped.

It's now LINK
