Betting aside, the beauty of being with a bookmaker such as bet365 for live streaming football is that there is no subscription involved. bet365 do say that you must have a funded Sports account, or alternatively have placed a bet within the last 24 hours, in order to view their live video streams – a common request with similar operators who are offering live streaming access.

Exact requirements can vary depending on which bookmaker you select to watch live sport with, although each offers a detailed FAQ guide to live streaming sport on their respective websites.

If you’re in the United Kingdom, alternatives to bet365 are easily found, such as William Hill, Paddy Power, and Betfair.

If you’re new to online betting, or new to live streaming football via a bookmaker, note that this is a completely different world to the illegal live streaming sites that have popped up in recent years. Many reading this will have, at some point, tried to watch a football match via a streaming site while at the same time battling against pop-ups, malware, and buffering. However, all the sportsbooks we recommend on this website are certified, legal, licensed and offer regulated betting, and have purchased the rights to legally broadcast live video of a number of football leagues and competitions.

Being able to broadcast live football streams can help an operator such as bet365 to keep their customers on their website for longer, in turn increasing betting turnover. But it isn’t just the bookmaker who is winning as a result of being able to offer live video, as customers are also on to a good thing here. There is no subscription service involved, and if you’re live streaming football with a trusted online bookmaker, you’ll find that the streams come with similar picture quality to those you’d find if watching live football via your PC or mobile/tablet device with a pay-TV provider.

Watching live football without being sat in front of the television is easier than ever. Whether you’re wanting to watch on your PC, or via your mobile or tablet device, the process from switching on to watching the match is a straightforward process.

Generally, providing you have access to a 3G/4G connection or have a WiFi signal, you can stream live football without any issues.

The financial requirements in order to watch and bet on live football are specific, but generally you can live stream football at a betting site without charge, although you may find some restrictions based on your location (TV rights negotiated by the mean some live football events are not broadcast in certain countries).

Unlike pay-TV services such as Sky Sports, ESPN, beINSport, and others, there is no subscription, although bookmakers will request that you have a funded account with them, or have placed a bet within the last 24 hours, in order to view the live streams.

And of course, all of this is completely legal.

Bookmakers have realised that having the rights to live streaming football can help keep their customers on their website, or logged into their official apps, for longer, resulting in higher betting turnover - a logical thing for them to do from a business point of view!

But away from the betting angle, watching live streaming with any one of the trusted online bookmakers who now offer live football streams is a great option.

As already covered, not requiring a subscription service means there is no financial outlay involved other than your deposit and/or betting stake. But in addition, not paying for access to live streams does not mean compromised picture quality. Watching live football this way almost always offers you similar broadcast quality to if you were watching on the same device via a pay-TV provider.

Whether you choose bet365, William Hill, Betwinner or another betting site to watch live football, you’ll find that the streams can be enjoyed on a range of devices, including most mobile or tablets (Android or iOS), as well as via your desktop or laptop. All you need to do is either visit their website, or login via their app.

A ‘Live Schedule’ can be found on the websites of all bookmakers who have the rights to live streaming, and as a general rule, the live video broadcast from the stadium will begin streaming two minutes prior to the scheduled kick-off time.

If you’re wanting to bet while you watch the game, then you can do so without missing any of the action. Bookmakers are keen to keep you on their website, so the live streams are integrated into their in-play betting sections, giving you a range of betting markets on the same screen as the video, and allowing you to view the latest odds and place your bets as the match takes place.
