What Sports Can You Watch?

The CatchON TV line-up includes dedicated sports channels from the USA, the UK, Canada and Europe, so you can follow most major competitions:

  • American sports: NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL, plus college football and basketball
  • Football (soccer): Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and the Champions League
  • Combat sports: UFC, boxing and wrestling, including pay-per-view events in their own category
  • Motorsport: Formula 1 and other racing series
  • And more: tennis, golf, cricket and rugby

Availability of individual events depends on which feeds are active at the time. If one league is the reason you are subscribing, ask support and we will check it before you order. You can also browse the categories on our channels list.

One Subscription Instead of Five

Sports rights are split between many broadcasters. A fan who follows American football, English football and UFC could easily need several separate subscriptions. A single CatchON TV subscription carries channels from different countries, so you can find the broadcaster showing your game, wherever it airs. It starts at $15 a month, and the 12-month plan is $75 for one screen. See all options on the pricing page.

How to Get a Smooth Picture on Match Day

Live sport is the hardest test for any streaming service, because millions of people press play at the same moment. CatchON TV runs anti-freeze servers built for that load. These steps take care of the part on your side:

  1. Use a cableEthernet beats Wi-Fi every time for live sport. If your Firestick or TV is far from the router, an Ethernet adapter is the best few dollars you will spend.
  2. Restart before kick-offRestart the stick or TV an hour before the game. It clears memory that builds up over days of use.
  3. Pick the right quality4K needs about 25 Mbps of stable speed. If your connection is weaker, choose the FHD version of the channel for a smoother stream.
  4. Use a good playerTiviMate handles live sport very well on Android TV and Firestick. In the player settings, a slightly bigger buffer helps during busy moments.
  5. Open the game earlyTune in five minutes before the start rather than at the exact moment millions of others do.

Watching with friends? Each screen streaming at the same time counts towards your plan. Watching on the big TV and a phone at once needs a 2-device plan.

Best Devices for Watching Sports

For a living-room TV, a recent Firestick 4K or an Android TV box gives a fast, smooth experience. On Samsung and LG televisions, IBO Player Pro lets you watch without extra hardware. On the go, IPTV Smarters Pro on your phone keeps you in the game anywhere. Every option is covered in our setup guides.

Finding the Game Fast

  • Use the TV guide to see what is on now and next across sports channels.
  • Add your favourite sports channels to a favourites list.
  • Hide countries you never watch so the sports section is shorter.

If the Stream Stutters

Brief buffering right at kick-off of a huge event is usually demand and settles quickly. If it continues, switch to another channel showing the same game, or lower the quality. Our troubleshooting guide lists every fix.
