I Know These CrackStreams Alternatives Work (Oct 2025)

In this post, I will share the best CrackStreams alternatives for watching sports online. I’ve tested the sites on multiple browsers and devices, including Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, FireStick, Android TV, Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac.

What was CrackStreams? What Happened to It?

I remember when CrackStreams was one of the popular sites for free sports streaming. It used to offer live streams of major leagues like the NBA, UFC, NFL, MLB, MMA, and WWE without a subscription.

Are CrackStreams Alternatives Legal?

All the CrackStreams alternatives I have included in this post are legal. Most are free, ad-supported, and the others are subscription-based options.

Best CrackStreams Alternatives

CrackStreams offered free live sports before it was shut down. Below are the best CrackStreams alternatives that also offer free live sports:

1. Tubi

Whenever I write about streaming alternatives, Tubi is the first that comes to my mind. I believe it deserves the spot with hundreds of live TV channels and a large collection of on-demand movies and shows. To watch free live sports, I go to the Sports On Now section, which features well-curated sports coverage.

You can explore sports channels like the NFL Channel, PGA Tour, NHL Channel, Fubo Sports, Fox Sports on Tubi, beIN Sports Xtra, among others. I also watch Tubi’s on-demand sports content like game replays, highlights, and sports documentaries.

I mostly use Tubi on my laptop through the Chrome browser and FireStick via the app. However, I have also tested it on Android TV, Android smartphones, and iOS. It runs smoothly on all devices.

I have tried using Tubi without signing up, and it works just fine. Still, I prefer signing up, because I like personal recommendations. In addition, signing up helps me maintain the watchlist that automatically syncs on every device. It also lets me resume the video in case I have to stop watching in the middle.

Tubi is a free and ad-supported streaming platform. I was expecting a lot of ad interruptions. But I was pleasantly surprised that ads are minimal and don’t really spoil the experience.

2. Triller TV

I first came across Triller TV (formerly FITE) when I was looking for a way to watch live boxing and wrestling matches online. I found that it covers combat sports, MMA, and several live sporting events.

The platform follows a freemium model. You can watch some matches for free, and others require a paid subscription (Triller TV+ or AEW Plus).

Videos are clearly labeled as Free, PPV, Triller TV+, or AEW Plus. This lets me easily find out which ones are free. Thankfully, there are hundreds of free streams of replays and past events.

I also like to explore the Live TV section. It features some interesting channels, such as Tennis Classics TV, Willow, and Triller TV 24/7.

I’ve used Triller TV on multiple browsers and devices, and playback has always been smooth. Videos load instantly in HD, and I rarely encounter buffering. The free tier does have ads, but they’re minimal and don’t really interrupt the flow of the match.

3. Red Bull TV

When I am thinking about free sports streaming, Red Bull TV always comes to my mind.

Red Bull is widely known for sponsoring outdoor and adventure sports, including extreme action sports. That’s the part of their core marketing strategy. Most of the content on RedBull TV is made up of such sports.

I usually turn on RedBull TV when I am in the mood for casual watching. There’s plenty to watch for hours, including surfing, snowboarding, skiing, cycling, padel, motorsports, and even lifestyle streams like dance and culture. However, what really keeps me hooked is the 24/7 live stream, which is consistently packed with thrilling sports action and well-produced events.

Besides live streaming, you can also explore original shows, documentaries, highlights, and behind-the-scenes videos.

I’ve tested Red Bull TV on several devices, including FireStick, Android TV, smart TV, Windows laptop, Android phone, Mac, and iPhone. It has worked smoothly across all of them.

Red Bull TV is completely free, and I can watch everything without even signing up. I just have to open he website or app and start streaming. Of course, if you sign up, you can sync the watchlist and favorites across devices and also resume from where you left off.

4. Pluto TV

Pluto TV is another free streaming service I often use along with Tubi. Pluto TV is also ad-supported and lets you watch on-demand and live TV. Both on-demand and live TV have sports sections.

What I enjoy the most is the Golazo Network that features soccer streams from all over the world. Other than that, I usually end up watching old highlights of my favorite sports late at night. You can also watch several other popular sports channels like the NFL Channel, Fox Sports, PGA Tour Channel, MLB Channel, and NBA Channel.

I tested several channels on my FireStick and Windows laptop, and the playback was smooth with little to no buffering. The video quality was consistently sharp, even during live events.

While Pluto TV is available only in select regions, I’ve been able to access it easily from anywhere by connecting through a VPN.

Pluto TV is completely free and supported by ads, but the interruptions are minimal and don’t really affect the experience.

5. 7plus

Whenever I feel like watching Aussie sports, I usually end up on 7Plus. It’s owned by Channel 7, one of Australia’s biggest media networks, and offers a wide variety of sports completely free.

I often tune in for track and field, baseball, adventure sports like surfing, motorsports, and soccer. The lineup feels fresh and diverse every time I check it.

What I like most about 7plus is that it even streams NFL games in Australia. That makes it an excellent option not just for locals but also for US expats or anyone who follows American football from abroad.

The only catch is that 7plus is geo-restricted to Australia and requires an account to stream. When I first set it up, I used a VPN to connect to an Australian server before signing up with a new email address. As long as I stay connected to an Australian server, I can watch content without any issues.

Overall, 7plus delivers a smooth experience with a surprisingly wide mix of sports and events. And, everything is free to stream!

6. Plex

Plex works much like Tubi and Pluto TV — it’s a free, ad-supported platform that offers hundreds of live TV channels and thousands of on-demand titles. I am impressed with its lineup of more than 60 sports channels. It covers classic NFL and MLB games as well as FIFA+ and beIN Xtra broadcasts.

Plex also helps me stay up to date with the latest sports news and highlights. It also features channels like Fox Sports, CBS Sports HQ, and Fubo Sports that let me easily catch replays, post-game analysis, and original sports programming without paying a dime.

I’ve used Plex on several devices, including my smart TV, FireStick, Android TV box, and Android phone. I have never had any real, mention-worthy issues. I also tested the web player on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, and streaming worked perfectly across all of them.

You can stream on Plex without creating an account, but I prefer signing up. It unlocks personalized recommendations and helps me discover new channels and shows that match my interests.

7. The Roku Channel

The Roku Channel is another streaming platform I visit frequently to watch sports content. In fact, I find its sports coverage better than what I usually see on similar platforms like Tubi, Plex, and Pluto TV.

Roku Channel has partnerships with major leagues such as MLB and lets you watch exclusive games like the MLB Sunday Leadoff. It also features sports like the NBA G League, X Games, and Formula E racing.

But it is not just for live sports. You can also watch a wide range of sports-related content, including news, interviews, highlights, replays, documentaries, and even original programming. The sports section has more than 50 channels, making sure I never run out of options.

I’ve used the Roku Channel on both its app and web versions, and I personally find the app better organized. You will notice that the app is easier to navigate and makes it clear which titles are free and which require a subscription.

Paid CrackStreams Alternatives

Here are the best premium CrackStreams alternatives:

1. ESPN+

ESPN+ is one of the most popular premium sports streaming sites in the US and even internationally. From what I’ve seen, it covers almost all major sports, including the NFL, NHL, MLB, soccer, and UFC. It also lets you stream live and on-demand content from ESPN channels like ESPN, ESPNU, ESPN2, ACCN, and ESPNEWS.

ESPN+ does not have a free trial. The subscription starts at $11.99 monthly.

2. Peacock

Peacock is NBCUniversal’s premium streaming service. It includes on-demand movies and shows as well as sports content. It features Premier League football, US soccer, Big Ten Football, NBA, and NFL — I think that’s a strong mix for one platform.

Peacock also doesn’t offer a free trial. The base plan costs $10.99 monthly.

3. YouTube TV

YouTube TV includes top national networks, such as Fox Sports, NFL Network, ESPN, Big Ten Network, and CBS Sports Network. I have also seen the regional ones, such as NBC Sports Bay Area, Monumental Sports Network, and NBC Sports Philadelphia. I think it’s a solid mix for viewers who follow multiple leagues.

You can add sports bundles like NFL Sunday Ticket and Sports Plus with NFL RedZone. The service offers a 7–10-day free trial, and the base plan costs $82.99 per month.

4. DAZN

DAZN is a premium sports streaming service that started with combat sports like boxing, MMA, and pro wrestling. It has since added soccer, rugby, golf, and tennis to its library. I think you’ll especially like it if you follow PPV events — DAZN is one of the key platforms for them.

There’s no free trial, and the monthly plan starts at $29.99.

5. Fubo

Fubo is one of the go-to streaming platforms for sports lovers. It’s become more of an IPTV-style service over time, but the sports selection is still outstanding. I like that you get access to major networks covering the NFL, NCAA football, MLB, NHL, and NBA. You can also follow local teams on over 35 regional sports networks.

Fubo offers a 7-day free trial, and its base plan starts at $55.99 per month.
