Gone are the days when you had to watch your favourite sports on the television as, among scores of other things, the internet also brought live sports streaming in the hands of people, which could be enjoyed on-the-go anywhere and everywhere, as long as you’re blessed with a stable internet connection

Many websites offer streaming services for a cost as well as free. One plus point of online streaming is that you can watch it anywhere and on any device whatsoever and remain updated about the game. Also, many websites also provide live discussion platforms to unleash your sports knowledge.

In this article, we have compiled a list of seven such websites where you can watch sports.

ESPN

ESPN is a top name in the world of sports. If you are an avid sports lover but do not find the time to sit and watch the sport at home, you can check out this website. Here, you can watch live streamings as well as highlights of matches.

However, all good things come at a price. For live and uninterrupted services, you will have to buy the premium plans of ESPN, which offer you a wide range of sports activity to immerse yourself. From time to time, ESPN also streams a few freebies that anyone can watch.

As ESPN has to buy streaming rights like most channels, you won’t find everything here, but major sports like Football, Cricket, Basketball (NBA), F1, Tennis, Hocket, among several others are available.  One point that you should note is that most features of the are only available only in USA and you will have to use a VPN to access ESPN from other countries.

You can access ESPN here and alternatively over here (Sony Six for India). You can also download the ESPN app for Android here and iOS here.
