Best Football Betting Apps (2024)

bet365 is our favourite when it comes to betting in the UK and the app is no different. Arguably, it is the best football betting app around, with all the website features one could ask for packed into one. It is very easy to navigate and will not exactly slow you down, which is crucial for live betting.

You will find almost every football game around the world (really), with hundreds of markets to choose from in most matches. The app also tends to have among the best odds around and the bet builder tool is the best on the market. This can be used both in-play and pre-match and is available for almost all games.

Also, bet365 is great for providing live football streams from matches around the world while also offering one of the best live betting experiences out there. And yes, you can cash out in several different ways using the app, although we rarely recommend cashing out bets.

It might sound like an outsider in a list of so many prominent bookmakers, but LiveScore Bet has gone from strength to strength in recent years. The quality of the app is perhaps not that surprising, given that LiveScore is one of the biggest apps in the world, but the company has done a good job with the betting as well.

As we covered in our review of LiveScore Bet, the sportsbook is actually very good and it is made even better by the app. Kambi being the provider means that market depth is fantastic, while there is also a very good bet builder tool available. We are huge fans of the design too, making for great navigation in all sections.

The in-play experience is one of the best around, there is no doubt about it, as LiveScore Bet has used the strengths of the LiveScore app and combined it with the impressive sportsbook. The live streaming offering is also better than most prominent bookies, available for several big competitions, making this a great app for football betting.

Ladbrokes is one of the biggest betting apps in the UK, particularly popular among football punters, and one can see why so many have opted to download the app. It is not the fanciest of designs, but the app is very functional and ultimately, this is what punters prioritise more than anything.

It helps that Ladbrokes is such a traditional brand, of course, and this means that the sportsbook offered is very comprehensive. Football is one of the key sports for the bookies and there is also a bet builder tool, which has improved a lot over the years and now can be considered very good.

Live streaming is offered for some very popular football competitions, which is a big plus, and the live betting experience is certainly sufficient. Football punters will also be able to find the popular predictions game 1-2-FREE in the app and this means that you do not have to log in on the website to make full use of the bookie's features.

As one of the oldest bookmakers in the UK, it is no surprise to see Coral high up on this list. Especially since it merged with Ladbrokes in 2016, meaning the two bookies now share the same platform. The design is more or less the same, in other words, even though the colour scheme differs between the two.

The sportsbook is exactly the same, meaning Coral's app is very comprehensive, and which you opt for will ultimately come down to personal preference. The promotions differ a little so that is usually the decider for punters but as far as the app goes, Coral's is just as good for football betting.

Live streaming is available for those who want to keep tabs on everything football, with some big competitions even offered. The in-play experience is also what you would expect, not as brilliant as a live score app but still very good. The predictions game Football Super Series can also be found in the app.

We haven't exactly been huge fans of William Hill's design in the past, but it actually works very well in the app format. Simplicity is often key when betting on your phone and this is indeed what the bookie providers here, as evidenced by the many downloads and good reviews in the UK.

The depth of the sportsbook has always been good at William Hill and the app is no different, providing sports events from all over the world. The football section is incredibly comprehensive and there is also a good bet builder tool, while the promotions are easy to find and use (such as the Bet and Epic Boost).

Live streaming used to be one of the main strengths of William Hill but in recent years, the bookie has focused more on racing for that. There is no football streaming, in other words, although the in-play experience is still nice thanks to an infographic and relevant stats. An opportunity missed here, though.

The Betway betting app is a great option for football punters thanks to the daily odds boosts, regular free bet offers (for existing customers) and the decent welcome offer if you are yet to sign up. The app builds on a very good foundation, in other words, and certainly benefits from that.

Those who download the app will find thousands of football events to bet on each month, with hundreds of markets on most of the popular leagues. The bet builder tool is also rather decent, even if there could be more markets, so most football punters will not be disappointed overall.

The live betting experience is very nice, thanks to a big infographic and useful stats, but the live streaming can certainly be improved. This service is only offered for very small leagues and will thus not be helpful for most punters. We have decided to regard this as no football streaming offered, so improvement is needed.

Unibet is another great option for betting on football, but we much prefer the desktop site over the betting app. Unfortunately, the app has been plagued with issues and bugs in our testing, but it does seem to be better in our most recent test. It is still something to take into consideration, though.

On the app, you will find a massive range of football events and markets, with an impressive depth on display here. However, Unibet has actively gone against the norm by not offering that many football promotions, which is obviously bad for punters even if the core features are there.

Unibet somewhat makes up for these shortcomings with a decent section for live streaming. The bookie also has one of the best bet builders in the game and all of this makes the live betting experience a treat. It is just a shame that there have been issues with the app in the past, all of which are hopefully fixed now.

Betfred is another popular bookmaker for football betting in the UK and the app has everything you need. Not just for football, but also for other sports and even casino games. But, focusing solely on the football betting product, new and existing players will not be disappointed with Betfred's apps.

Those who download the app will find a massive range of betting options covering football leagues and competitions from all around the world. You can also build custom football bets through the bet builder tool, called PickYourPunt, and odds are boosted rather regularly by the bookie.

While the live betting interface is nice and useful, we could not find any option for streaming the action during our test of the Betfred app. It seems this service is only available for other sports as things stand, which is a shame. This is something that Betfred will have to improve.

BetVictor is a very popular betting site and as more punters are betting on apps, the bookie's app has been downloaded by many users. The app offers a user-friendly, fast and reliable design even though it might not always be spectacular. But as mentioned earlier, functionality is really key for apps.

Punters will find that the football offering is very comprehensive and there is also a bet builder tool to use. However, while BetVictor used to be one of the best bookies for low betting margins (i.e. good odds), this is no longer the case. Several tests of ours have confirmed that BetVictor is now on the higher end, which is far from ideal.

In any case, we like the live betting experience on the app and odds are also regularly boosted by the bookie. Other than FIFA/EA FC Esports games, however, no football live streaming is offered on the app or the site. To compete with the big dogs, this is something that BetVictor must amend.

BetMGM is a newcomer on the UK scene, having first launched in the UK, and the sportsbook is provided by the LeoVegas group. Punters who sign up can thus expect a decent foundation, but what about the app? It has been well-received on iOS, but Android users have experienced severe issues.

Despite being one of the new betting sites in the UK, the sportsbook is actually very comprehensive and BetMGM even has a bet builder tool. The bookie's welcome offer has also attracted a lot of punters, but the start has been far from perfect. Indeed, as pointed out by users, there have been major issues with the Android app.

This is something that BetMGM must amend immediately, especially since there is a lot of potential. A decent section for live streaming is available, even offering games from the Bundesliga, and the in-play experience is actually pretty good. However, the Android struggles made it easy to decide the position here.
