Free football on your mobile: ways to enjoy matches at no cost.
There are several legal applications that will allow you to enjoy football for free.
Free Football, which might sound like a fan-driven political party, is also the name used online to describe various illegal platforms offering football broadcasts. The legality of these sites is questionable; in the past, portals like Roja Directa and Magis TV have faced legal action that led to the closure of their services. La Liga in Spain has been particularly active in the fight against those attempting to broadcast without the corresponding rights, becoming one of the most vigilant competitions in this regard.
Despite this, there are free options available to enjoy football online. For instance, on YouTube, although some users try to livestream events like the Champions League or the Copa Libertadores unsuccessfully, certain television channels in Latin America and Spain have the rights to broadcast some matches of these competitions. A recent example was the broadcast of the match between Deportes Iquique and Alianza Lima by CHV in Chile on March 4. For those unable to access these broadcasts, using a VPN can be an effective solution, allowing users to change their virtual location and connect to a server in a country that offers the stream.
Pluto TV is another alternative that provides sports channels offering live content and has even added FIFA TV+ to its programming. In Spain, the platform includes Realmadrid TV, which features classic matches of the team and other related content, as well as DFB Play, which will broadcast matches from the German Cup starting in 2025. In Latin America, Pluto TV includes Azteca Deportes and Claro Sports, which allow viewers to watch various tournaments live, including matches from Liga MX and Liga Femenil.
RTVE Play is another free option that offers a varied selection of live sports events and highlights, such as those from the Copa de la Reina and the European Athletics Championships.
The OneFootball app not only provides results but also allows users to watch live and replayed matches from some competitions. LaLiga Sports TV is also presented as an official service for watching live football, covering various major competitions.
Regarding apps in Spain, Mitele allows access to matches broadcast on its free channels, while Fanatiz offers a high-definition football experience with content varying by location. Tivify stands out for its extensive offerings, allowing users to tune in to regional channels and additional ones like Betis TV and Sevilla FC TV. Mobdro Live TV is one of the most recognized apps for watching live sports, although some of its channels require a subscription.
