This guide outlines how to install SportsFire on FireStick and other compatible devices. The sports and live TV streaming app is compatible with various devices, including Amazon FireStick, Android TV, and other smart TVs.
What is SportsFire?
SportsFire is a popular Android streaming app that offers live TV content, primarily sports-focused networks.
This app allows you to watch the most popular sports channels from the US, including networks that offer coverage of basketball, hockey, baseball, soccer, American football, college sports, and golf.
If you want a platform to stream free live sports, SportsFire is a decent choice.
Unlike web-based sports streaming sites, this app is ad-free and features a minimalist, easy-to-navigate user interface.
In addition to sports channels, SportsFire provides a selection of live TV channels featuring news and other forms of entertainment.
The app also offers live TV channels from countries such as the UK, Turkey, South Africa, Australia, France, and Spain.
Let’s find out what makes this streaming app stand out.
Attention!
ISPs, hackers, and other entities across the world monitor users' online activities. You should always use a good VPN and hide your identity so your online 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 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.
Features of SportsFire
Notable features of the SportsFire streaming app include:
- Hundreds of sports live TV channels from the US, UK, Spain, France
- A couple of TV entertainment and news TV networks
- High-quality streaming, up to HD
- No registration required
- Ad-free
- Simple user interface that includes home, channels, schedule, and watchlist categories
Is SportsFire Safe and Legal?
SportsFire is unavailable on official app stores like Google Play and Amazon App Store, which raises safety concerns.
Some apps from third-party sources contain malicious files that can put your data and device at risk.
It is essential to always check an app’s safety before installing it on your device.
I scanned the SportsFire APK file on VirusTotal to check for suspicious files. One out of 66 security vendors flagged the file as malicious.
SportsFire offers free live sports content, including broadcasts from premium cable TV networks. This raises legal concerns.
To confirm its legal standing, we must verify that it has the right to distribute the content.
FireStickTricks.com lacks the resources to verify every source, so we can’t confirm whether SportsFire is legal.
However, we don’t condone streaming copyrighted content. This guide is for educational purposes only.
Please proceed with caution when using this app to stream content. I recommend using a trustworthy VPN like ExpressVPN to protect your data and device and hide your IP address.

SportsFire is an unofficial app. By default, FireSticks don’t allow the installation of apps from unknown sources. You need to change this setting to install SportsFire.
You also need a special app called Downloader to install the APK file from an external source.
I’ll divide the process into two parts: preparing the FireStick to download the SportsFire app and installing the app on the FireStick.
Part 1: Prepare Your FireStick to Download SportsFire
As stated above, you must prepare your device for sideloading, which involves adjusting specific settings and installing the Downloader app from the Amazon Appstore.
Read more about this in our detailed guide to sideloading apps using Downloader.
Here’s the nutshell:
1. Navigate to Find>Search on the FireStick home screen and type Downloader in the search bar. Click Downloader on the suggested results and select Get or Download to install the app on your device.
2. Return to the home screen and go to Settings>My Fire TV>Developer Options.
Now, select Fire TV Stick and click it 7 times to enable Developer Options. If you’re still not sure how to do it, here’s a step-by-step guide to enable developer options.
Depending on your FireStick model, you’ll see one of the following options:
- Option 1-Install Unknown Apps: Click on it, navigate to the Downloader option, and turn ON the toggle.
- Option 2- Apps from Unknown Sources: Turn ON the toggle.
Your FireStick is all set to install SportsFire.
Part 2: Install SportsFire on Your FireStick
Follow the steps below to install SportsFire on your FireStick:
1. Launch the Downloader app and click on the URL Field.
2. Type Downloader Code 4585605, then click Go.

3. The Downloader app will redirect you to the site hosted by the SportsFire APK file. Wait as the app downloads the file.
4. Once the APK file has been downloaded, you’ll be prompted to install the app. Select Install.
5. Wait as the SportsFire App installs.
6. Click Done once the app installation is complete.
7. Select Delete to remove the APK file on your device, as you no longer need it.
8. Click Delete again to confirm.
You’ve successfully installed SportsFire on your FireStick.
You are now all set to use your favorite streaming service. However, before you start, I want to warn you that everything you do online is visible to your ISP, hackers, and other third-party entities.
Thankfully, there is a foolproof way to keep all your streaming activities hidden. All you need is a reliable VPN. A VPN will mask your original IP, , and help you bypass Online Surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.
I use and recommend ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is compatible with all streaming apps and is very easy to install on any device, including FireStick, Smartphones, Computers, and more.
So, before you start streaming, let’s see how to use ExpressVPN to keep your streaming activities hidden from prying eyes.
Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN 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: Download and install ExpressVPN on your device.
Step 3: Open the app and enter the login credentials you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.
Step 4: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN.

I am using the downloaded app but it’s not working what can I do
Hi George, Please make sure you’re using the new updated version of the app and that you’re connected to a VPN, as some content may be restricted without it. I just checked, and it’s working fine on my end. Let me know if the issue still persists after updating.
