How to Watch Live Sports on Firestick For Free?

The free way to watch live sports on Firestick is choosing from a number of unverified apps that offers a huge collection of sports content and live sports.

Unverified Free Apps to Watch Live Sports on FireStick

Below are the unverified apps that you can use to watch live sports on Firestick. With each app, I will mention the download link that you will use on the Downloader app. 

1. Lepto Sports

To download Lepto Sports using the Downloader app, use this link: bit.ly/lepto-apk.

Lepto Sports is an Android-based live sports app. It is free of cost. It is the reincarnated version of the Vola Sports app. Both have a lot of similarities, but Lepto Sports have improved features.

One demerit of Lepto Sports is that it does not offer a wide variety of live sports events. The app only covers soccer, cricket, and basketball. But if you are a fan, especially of these sports, you don’t need to go anywhere else. The app covers these sports extensively. You can enjoy live games, the latest highlights, replays, talking points, and game previews on Lepto Sports.

You will get several links to choose from to watch each live event. The links are hardly broken. Another highlight of Lepto is that it lets you stream in HD ad-free. It is undoubtedly a good way to watch live sports on Firestick for free.

2. Live NetTV

To download Live NetTV using the Downloader app, use this link: livenettv.bz.

On this list, Live NetTV is the most popular unverified live sports streaming app for Firestick. There are reasons for its popularity.

If you are outside the US, Canada, Spain, or India, you will need a VPN service to switch locations. It is what it is. Be careful while choosing a VPN. Always choose a reliable VPN.

3. Kodi

To download Kodi using the Downloader app, use this link: firesticktricks.com/kapk.

Kodi is a bit different compared to the others on the list. Also, Kodi is the last on my list. Why Kodi is different? Because Kodi is a legal or verified app. But the third-party add-ons cannot be commented upon. 

Kodi has a remarkable amount of content that you can avail of without having to pay for it. It can be used to watch live sports on Firestick for free. This massively popular media center also faces challenges when it comes to its add-ons. The app might keep shutting down because of such challenges. By challenges, I mean legal issues like copyright infringement. These services are sometimes targeted by ISPs and Government authorities. However, there are always alternative add-ons on Kodi. Currently, these add-ons are operational on Kodi: ApeX Sports, The Crew, Asgard, The Boys, Pluto TV, and Sportowa. Check out the best Kodi Builds.
