This article will show you how to install the Winner Kodi addon for sports. Kodi has a similar interface on all compatible devices. Therefore, the instructions will work just as well on Amazon FireStick and its variants, Windows PC, Mac, Nvidia Shield, Android TV Box, and more.
What is Winner?
What is Winner?Winner is a sports addon located in the namesake repository. The addon mainly focuses on Spanish content but also has videos in English.
Winner offers both live and video-on-demand events in a wide variety of sports. They include motorsports, soccer, basketball, rugby, fighting, golf, handball, tennis, winter sports, cycling, badminton, and more.
The addon excels in viewing quality—most videos come with full HD streaming links. That said, Winner does not host any of the videos it provides on its servers. Instead, it pulls them from host websites.
Winner is a free Kodi addon. You do not need to subscribe or even sign up to stream videos on it. For these reasons and more, Winner is added to our Best Addons for Kodi list.
Attention, Kodi Users!
Kodi Addons and builds offer unlimited streaming content, but could also get you into legal trouble if caught streaming free movies, TV shows, or sports. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. Kodi users are strongly advised to always connect to a VPN while streaming online. A good Kodi VPN hides your identity, bypasses government surveillance, geo-blocked content, and ISP throttling (which also helps in buffer-free streaming).
I personally use ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is very easy to install on any device including Amazon FireStick. You get 3 months free and save 49% on its annual plans. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied, you can always ask for a refund.

Is Winner Safe and Legal?
Since Winner is a third-party Kodi addon, it can be hard to know whether using it is legal and safe for your device.
However, I ran the antivirus through online antivirus software. The antivirus did not flag the addon as suspicious or malicious. Therefore, I assume that the Winner addon is safe. Here is the proof:
However, FireStickTricks.com doesn’t verify the legality of third-party addons due to the complexity of copyrights and content licenses. We don’t encourage any content piracy. That said, we recommend using a trustworthy VPN to be on the safe side and to put your mind at ease.

Part 1: Enable Unknown Sources
The Kodi media player comes with a host of addons for its users, located in the official Kodi repository. These can easily be downloaded and installed directly from that repo. That said, Kodi supports tons of others that come from third-party sources.
Winner is one such addon. For it to install on Kodi, you must configure the app first. Here is how you can do that:
1. Open Kodi and click the Settings gear icon near the top-left corner of the home screen.
2. Select System from the settings menu.
3. Select Add-ons on the left menu. On the right-hand side of this screen, click Unknown sources to toggle it on.
4. A pop-up prompt will display on the screen. Click Yes to confirm.
Part 2: Install Winner Kodi Addon
Now we will get down to the actual process of installing the Winner Kodi addon. Again, follow the instructions step-by-step, and you will have it all done in a couple of minutes.
1. Go back to your Kodi Settings window. Select File manager from the menu options.
2. Select Add source.
3. A dialogue box will display on the screen. Click <None>.
4. Enter the URL https://fuentekodileia.github.io/ into the text field provided. Make sure that you input the URL accurately and click OK to confirm.
Note: FireStickTricks.com isn’t associated with the repository files. The URL leads to their original source.
5. Give the media source a unique name by clicking the text field labeled Enter a name for this media source. Enter the name fuente and click OK.
6. Confirm the source by clicking OK.
7. Go back to the Settings screen. This time, select Add-ons from the menu.
8. Select Install from zip file.
9. A pop-up warning regarding updates for third-party addons will display on your screen. Click Yes to accept.
10. Select the source we just added, fuente.
11. Click addons-tv-y-deportes.
12. Click plugin.video.winner.xxx.zip.
Note: The numbers in the file may differ depending on the current version, but that’s not a problem. Select it anyway.
13. The Winner addon will download and automatically install on your Kodi app. Wait for a minute or two. The process is complete when you see the WINNER Add-on installed message at the top right corner of your screen.
That’s it. That is how to install the Winner Kodi addon.
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 Winner Addon on Kodi
Now the hard work is out of the way, you can begin to enjoy your newly installed addon.
First, you have to access the addon on your Kodi app. Doing so is easy. Scroll to Add-ons on the left-hand menu on the home screen and click on the Winner addon icon on the right-hand side of the screen.

Because no subscription or sign-up is required to use this addon, you can immediately begin to stream by selecting a category.
When you select Live, you will see a list of ongoing sports events you can stream using the app. Remember that you will likely find more events in Spanish than in English. Furthermore, the selection of events may be smaller than those offered by other sports addons on our list of the best Kodi sports addons.
Aside from live sports, Winner also provides on-demand content for each sport it offers. A list of subcategories will display when you click on a sports category. They are made up of various tournaments and competitions within the sport.
Click on a subcategory to view the available videos that you can stream.
Winner will prove disappointing if you like to play around with addon settings to set them up to your preference. A simple “This add-on can’t be configured” notification displays when you try to access the add-on settings.
