We are passionate about football and we want to see the games wherever we are, perhaps directly from our smartphone "> App to watch TV on mobile (Android and iPhone) for free Minimum requirements
Even if modern smartphones are powerful as computers, we will have to pay attention to some minimum requirements to be able to enjoy the game live without suffering interruptions or sudden shots of the image:- If possible, we use Wi-Fi : the best connection we can use for streaming is certainly the wireless of the home or office sufficiently fast.
- Outside the home, we only use 4G / LTE or higher : if we are away from home and cannot access a fast Wi-Fi connection, we make sure that our phone is connected to the LTE data network or later, so as to benefit from the fastest connection speeds high.
- Minimum speed : to be able to see all the streaming content of the apps that we will recommend below, we recommend having a download speed of 6 Megabits per second or more, so that you can see all the streaming content without interruption. If we use LTE or higher to connect to the Internet, we recommend starting streaming only if we reach 12 Megabits per second of speed, so that we can benefit from sufficient bandwidth even in case of weak signal in the area where we are.
To test the connection speed on your smartphone, we recommend using the Speedtest.net app, available for free for both Android and iOS.
We make at least 2 or 3 measurements, so as to obtain a reliable average value of the speeds available on our smartphone.
App for streaming football games
You can currently watch matches on your phone for free using one of the following apps.RaiPlay
The Rai app broadcasts live football matches on Rai 1, on Rai 2 or on Rai Sport channels, thus making streaming available on our phone (as if we were seeing Rai channels on a small TV!). Currently we can see on Rai some Champions League matches, all the matches of the Italian Cup and all the matches of the Italian National Football Team.
The only thing we have to do and install the app on our phone and, when a football event is in progress on the Rai channels, open the app, tap on the top left on the Menu item (three horizontal lines), select the Direct menu and choose the desired channel. In a few seconds we will see the streaming start and we will be able to enjoy the game without problems, even on the internal screen ( 6-inch or higher smartphones are definitely the most suitable in this situation).
If we are interested in using this app for streaming games for free from your phone, we can download it for free for Android and for iOS.
TV8
The TV8 channel, owned by Sky, offers the possibility to watch some Europa League matches and other interesting sporting events in live streaming also from the app.
In this case, a real app is not available to start streaming, but simply visit the website's website with any mobile browser (such as Google Chrome on Android and Safari on iOS), click on Streaming at the top and wait for the live broadcast.
DAZN (free trial)
If we want to follow some Serie A matches and other matches in foreign leagues, the only way to get free viewing is to activate the DAZN free trial month, the new streaming platform that has TV rights for 1 out of 3 matches of the Serie A but also allows you to see the whole Serie B, the Spanish La Liga, the French Ligue 1, the Copa Libertadores, the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.
After downloading the app on our phone, simply log in with the DAZN account and choose which event to see, so you can start buffering and follow the streaming event wherever we are.
In order to take advantage of the free month offered by DAZN, obtain a valid email address, credit card or PayPal account when registering (also to take advantage of the free month they are necessary) and fill in the data required to obtain the month test. We remind you that these services base the subscription on the implicit automatic renewal: before the end of the trial month it is better to go to the app settings and deactivate the automatic renewal, otherwise we will start paying from the second month (currently € 9.99 per month) . To learn more, read our guide How to watch games on DAZN on PC, TV, Android and iPhone .
Alternative ways
Outside the Android store there are apps that allow you to watch games for free, but I can't talk about them.What I can say is that to access some sites you can install apps with the free VPN such as Opera Browser or Aloha Browser.
Only on Android it is also possible to install Acestream to access exclusive content.
With the Puffin browser for Android and iPhone it is also possible to view sites with flash videos, otherwise inaccessible from the phone.
App to manage IPTV lists
If we have an IPTV list to watch sporting events, we can also use it on the smartphone, just install the right free apps.IPTV Extreme (Android)
If we have an Android smartphone, we recommend installing the IPTV Extreme app, definitely the best in the category.
With this app we can easily add the list in m3u8 or similar format, by going to the menu at the top right, tapping on Playlists and clicking Add Playlist . After the addition, the app will create a copy of the list on the mobile phone, so as to start it quickly the next time it is accessed. To be able to see the channels in which any sporting events are broadcast, just click on the name of the channel and wait for it to load (which should be fast enough if we are under the LTE network).
Among its features we point out the automatic updating of the EPG, notifications for the expiration of the list, integration with Chromecast and 4 different players, so you can choose the fastest and most suitable one for your smartphone.
GSE SMART IPTV (iOS)
To view an IPTV list on iPhones, we recommend installing the GSE SMART IPTV app.
In a simple and fast way we can add the list in our possession (in m3u8 format) and view all the channels included in it. Among its functions we point out the possibility of connecting the streaming to a Chromecast, the possibility of recording the live broadcast and an advanced menu for managing multiple playlists.
Conclusions
We have shown you all the methods that we can use at the moment to watch games on your phone for free, without spending anything . In some cases it was totally free services, while in the case of DAZN we can take advantage of only one month of free trial, then we will have to pay the subscription. If we have a list, the apps indicated in the guide will allow you to enjoy it even on the move, without having to wait for the return home to turn on the TV Box.
If we have any problem with streaming or buffering on the apps listed above, we recommend you read our guide to Live video streaming problems: how to solve (DAZN, NOW TV, IPTV etc.) .
