If there’s one thing I take seriously, it’s not missing a game. If there’s a match on, I want to watch it.
And since I can’t always be in front of the TV, what saved me were the apps that let me watch live football right on my phone.
I tested several. Some would freeze right at the goal, others promised a lot and delivered nothing.
But in the middle of all that, I found a few apps that really work and are now part of my daily routine.
If you’re tired of relying on luck or shady links, here are the best apps to watch live football — based on my real experience:
Star+ – where I watch the top leagues
First of all, Star+ is the app I use the most these days. They stream the Libertadores, Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1, and even NFL and NBA.
The quality is excellent, there’s commentary in Portuguese, and you can rewatch the games later.
What I love most is that I can watch on both my phone and TV. And since I share the subscription with a friend, the cost is super affordable.
Also, it’s great for keeping up with the biggest international and South American tournaments
And yes, it comes with professional commentary and analysis
OneFootball – live matches for free
Yes, OneFootball streams matches live for free. And we’re not talking about random games.
I’ve watched the German Cup, French League, and other tournaments directly on the app with solid image quality and Portuguese commentary.
Plus, it also brings news, lineups, stats, and live goals. Perfect to keep everything in one place.
Ideal for anyone who wants to watch games and stay informed without spending a penny
Lightweight, fast, and completely free
HBO Max – for watching the Champions League stress-free
When it comes to Champions League, there’s no debate: the best app is HBO Max.
They stream every match live, with incredible quality and full commentary.
Honestly, I subscribed just for the Champions League, but I ended up staying for the movies and series too.
And on match days, I won’t settle for anything less than HBO Max — it simply delivers the best experience.
Total focus on the Champions League and TNT Sports coverage
Flawless streaming quality, even on mobile
Other apps I tested and recommend:
• TNT Sports App: a great complement to HBO Max, with exclusive content
• ESPN App: you can watch through Star+ if you’re logged in
• Globoplay + Premiere: great if you want to follow the Brazilian league, but it requires a subscription
So, which one will be your favorite?
These days, watching live football on my phone is part of my routine. I could be at work, on the street, or at home without a TV if there’s a game on, I find a way to watch it.
With these apps, I get freedom, quality, and I’ve never missed a goal again for lack of options.
Choose the app that matches your fan style, download it on your Android or iOS, and catch the game wherever you are.
Because football isn’t something we just watch. We live it play by play, wherever we can.
