Best Live Streaming Services: Top Sites Reviewed

So what are the best betting sites for live streaming?

Betfred

I counted ten different sports that were streaming live on Betfred; you will do well to find a larger selection than that.

That includes football, with action from around the globe, as well as horse racing, with the streams provided by Racing TV.

Even on a random Tuesday morning, there were 47 different live streams available, with tennis – from the ATP Tour all the way through to the ITF and Challengers – leading the way.

You can also watch basketball, snooker, darts and other sports, while Betfred’s esports streaming is about as comprehensive as it gets.

One of the perks of the Betfred platform is that you qualify to watch the live streams in one of two different ways:

• Your account is funded, i.e. there’s at least a few pence in there
• You have placed a bet within the last 24 hours

So even if your most recent bet has used up all of your account funds, you’ll still be able to watch live streams for the next 24 hours.

Many of the streams are taken from official broadcasters, so you’ll get high-quality English commentary as well as the action itself. And I personally think the live streams look great in the Betfred app – full screen in landscape mode, with HD pictures and lag-free processing.

If you like to watch your bets live, or simply want to stream some sporting action, the Betfred site/app are excellent places to start from.

BetVictor

Personally, I’m not a huge fan of the look and layout of the BetVictor in-play platform, but there’s still plenty to like about the channel all the same.

I counted a dozen sports that you can watch live (if you count esports as a ‘sport’, anyway), including football, tennis, basketball, table tennis and horse racing.

You can watch any of these streams with a funded BetVictor account, although you will need to place a bet of £1 in order to watch their international horse racing coverage.

So the barriers to entry are low, and the quality of the streams was very good in my testing. You can even change the playback speed, which is useful if you want to slow down the action, while instant race replays are available courtesy of At The Races.

All of the key bet types can be placed with a single tap from within the stream itself, with no need to navigate back to the betting hub, and you can toggle between the live feed and the in-play stats module easily if you want to check on the data before placing a bet.

The streams are sourced from official broadcasters, like At The Races, World Snooker Tour and MODUS Darts, so the quality tends to be very decent indeed.

Coral

I’ll start with the bad news: to watch some horse racing on Coral’s live streaming channel, you will need to have placed a qualifying bet of £2+, which is higher than the industry average.

However, that aside, there are still plenty of reasons to like what Coral has to offer.

Firstly, you only need to have a funded account to watch the majority of their streams. Remember, that means you only need a few pence to your name.

You can watch UK, Irish and international horse racing, football, tennis, basketball, snooker and more besides, and importantly Coral have some of the lowest stream lag times – they are usually around 1-3 seconds behind the real time event, which is a far lower delay than some.

One of the things I really enjoy about the Coral live streaming channel is the ‘upcoming’ header. It’s a simple thing really, but this tab shows all of the events that Coral will be broadcasting over the next 24 hours or so – you can plan in advance which bets you want to place based upon which games/races etc are being streamed.

All in all, this feels like a classy live streaming experience, and while it would be great if Coral covered more elite football, their channel is still an excellent watch for live sport around the clock.

Of course, it’s worth noting that this mini review of Coral’s live streaming also applies to Ladbrokes, their sister company. So both come highly recommended if you want to watch and bet on the leading sports action.

Unibet

If you spend any amount of time at Unibet, you realise this is a bookmaker that really thrives when it comes to live betting.

Fire up their homepage and what’s the first thing you see? That image carousel usually features at least one live event with real-time odds displayed on screen.

The upshot of Unibet’s approach is that their live streaming channel, named Unibet TV, is in decent order. You’ll find hundreds of options available most days, with the ability to watch in full screen mode or a smaller screen that enables you to scroll through all of the available in-play betting markets side-by-side.

But these aren’t just any old events. You can watch football from the German Bundesliga, La Liga and Serie A, as well as the FA Cup and tons of other leagues around the world. There’s NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL, as well as snooker and darts majors and pretty much every ATP and WTA tennis tournament.

If you’re a cricket fan, I really can’t recommend the Unibet live streaming channel enough. They offer coverage of games and competitions that other bookmakers don’t; I was able to watch a one-day game between England and Pakistan, as well as a test match between Australia and South Africa, via my Unibet account… with no need for an expensive TV subscription from Sky Sports and co!

Like all good betting sites for live streaming, you can access Unibet’s feed if you have a funded account or if you have placed a bet within the prior 24 hours that has reduced your account balance to zero.

DAZN Bet

Now here’s an interesting curveball that may be of interest to the small percentage of our readers that have a DAZN account.

As you may or may not be aware, DAZN – which offers streams across football and boxing, most prominently – has its own UK licensed betting site/app, DAZN Bet.

But what you may not know is that if you link your DAZN streaming to your DAZN Bet account, you can actually bet in-play on the same screen while watching live DAZN content on your TV, Phone or tablet.

You have to watch the stream via the main DAZN app, rather than your betting account, but once you have linked your profiles, you will see on screen how easy it is to place in-play wagers – if you want to – while watching the action.

As a reminder, DAZN has a surprisingly good range of sports to watch. They include top-notch boxing on PPV, as well as Italian Serie A and National League football, NFL Game Pass, NHL and LIV Golf.

So while DAZN Bet itself only has a so-so live streaming channel, when connected to your main DAZN account, this really does become one of the best ways to ‘watch and bet’ that you’ll find in the UK.
