How We Map Broadcasting Rights:
Our RightsMapper™ technology monitors official broadcast updates from the LFP, EPL, NFL, and NBA every 15 minutes. We cross-reference network signals with digital rights holders (DAZN, Fubo, Peacock) to ensure 100% accuracy for fans looking to watch games legally from any region.
Understanding Sports TV Channels
What is a linear sports TV channel? Unlike on-demand apps, a linear sports TV channel is a continuous 24/7 broadcast network (e.g., TNT Sports or Fox Sports 1). Our directory helps you identify which providers carry the official live TV streams for these specific networks.
Why is my channel blocked? TV channels operate strictly on regional licensing. A channel broadcasting in the UK will geo-block viewers from the US. Always check our region map below to find the correct local broadcaster.

Live TV Streams FAQ
How to watch TV online legally?
To watch live TV streams legally, you need to access the official digital feeds provided by the networks themselves (such as the ESPN app or Sky Go) or through verified syndication partners. Our directory points you directly to the authorized live TV stream for over 900 global channels.
What is the difference between a TV Channel and a Streaming Service?
A TV Channel (like TNT Sports or FOX) is the actual television network producing the 24/7 live broadcast. A Streaming Service (like FuboTV, Hulu, or Peacock) is the digital platform or "carrier" that bundles and hosts these TV channels. This directory focuses strictly on finding individual TV channels.
Why is my live TV stream regionally blocked?
Television broadcast rights are sold by country. A sports TV channel available in the UK (like Sky Sports) will actively block IP addresses from the USA. If you are traveling, you may need a secure VPN to change your virtual location and access your home country's live TV streams.
