How to Install Sport HD Kodi Addon on FireStick (2025)

In this article, I will explain how to install the SportHD addon on Kodi. It is compatible with Kodi 21 Omega, Kodi 20 Nexus, and 19 Matrix. This method works with all Kodi-compatible devices, including Amazon FireStick, New FireStick 4K, New FireStick 4K Max, NVIDIA SHIELD, Android TV boxes, PCs, and smartphones. But before we begin, let’s clarify the addon and its safety.

Thanks to rapid technological advancements, watching live sports is no longer limited to TV. Today, millions of people worldwide can stream live sports online from hundreds of free live streaming services. However, finding a reliable service among the overwhelming number of options is daunting.

While searching for the best free sports streaming site, I discovered SportHD, a reliable addon that livestreams almost every sport, from football to chess.

What Is SportHD?

SportHD is a Kodi addon that lets you watch live sports events by scraping streams from popular sports streaming websites.

The SportHD Kodi addon is created by the developers of Sports 365. This Kodi addon is available in the Bugatsinho repository, which houses Cartoon Network addons.

Attention Kodi Users!

Governments and ISPs across the world monitor your online activities. If you use third-party Kodi addons, you should always use a good Kodi VPN and hide your identity so your streaming experience doesn’t take a bad turn. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone.

I use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including Amazon Fire TV Stick, PC, Mac, and Smartphones. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 61% on the 2-year plan.

Here is why you must use a VPN all the time.

I ran a safety check on the Bugatsinho repository URL using VirusTotal.com. As you can see, it is safe to download and install the repository.

Before you start streaming with Kodi Addons or Builds, I would like to warn you that everything you stream on Kodi is visible to your ISP and Government. This means, streaming copyrighted content (free movies, TV shows, live TV, and Sports) might get you into legal trouble.

Thankfully, there is a foolproof way to keep all your streaming activities hidden from your ISP and the Government. All you need is a good VPN for Kodi. A VPN will mask your original IP which is and will help you bypass Online Surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.

I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is compatible with all kinds of streaming apps and devices.

NOTE: We do not encourage the violation of copyright laws. But, what if you end up streaming content from an illegitimate source unintentionally? It is not always easy to tell the difference between a legit and illegal source.

So, before you start streaming on Kodi, here's how to get VPN protection in 3 simple steps.

Step 1: Get the ExpressVPN subscription HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 2: Click HERE to download and install the ExpressVPN app on your streaming device. If you are using a FireStick, I have given the exact steps starting with Step 4 below.

Step 3: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That's all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for Kodi.

The following are the steps to install Kodi VPN on your Fire TV devices. If you have other streaming devices, follow Step 1-3 above.

Step 4: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE (if not subscribed already).

Step 5: Go to Fire TV Stick home screen. Click Find followed by Search option (see image below).

Step 6: Type Expressvpn in the search bar and select when it shows up.

Step 7: Click Download.

Step 8: Open the ExpressVPN app and Sign in using the email ID and password that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription.

Step 9: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your FireStick is now secured with the fastest VPN.

How to Use SportHD Kodi Addon

Select the SportHD Kodi addon to launch it! On the home screen, you have five sections:

LIVE EVENTS
SPORTS
BEST LEAGUES
Settings
Version 0.1.10 (it could differ for you)

Under the LIVE EVENTS section, you can catch up on live streams of various sports, from football to basketball to rugby. It lists all the available and scheduled matches. As you can see from the screenshot below, several games are scheduled, and a couple of live streams are underway (represented by green asterisks).

All you need to do is select the game, choose the stream link, and enjoy!

The addon’s best feature is that it provides all the information about games, including the name of the sport, the time of streaming, and the teams playing. You can also filter the list of matches by leagues or sports.

The SPORTS section features the live-streaming links categorized by sport. It provides a long list of sports, starting with football and basketball and ending with snooker and chess. Streaming links become available right before the games begin.

You can live stream matches from various leagues in the BEST LEAGUES section.

You can change your time zone inside Settings, which offers nothing besides setting your time zone to get the right time for live events.

How to Enable RTMP in Kodi

If you come across any problems or errors with streaming links, it’s time for you to enable RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol). It is a proprietary network protocol to transmit audio, video, and other data over the internet from a media server to a Flash player. Some sources from the SportHD addon use this protocol, so we must install it for a smooth streaming experience.

1. From the Kodi home screen, click the gear icon to open settings.

2. Select Add-ons.

3. Click on Install from repository.

4. Select the Kodi Add-on repository.

5. Scroll down and click VideoPlayer InputStream.

6. Click RTMP Input.

7. Click Install.

8. Wait for a few seconds. You will get a message notifying you that RTMP Input is installed.
