Best Live Streaming Betting Sites in the UK

Bet365 has one of the best live-streaming packages of any betting site in the UK. Every UK and Irish horse race is available to watch, while this operator also provides action from top European domestic football leagues like the Bundesliga as well.

Those who want to watch American sports through a betting site will find Bet365 to be a great option too. The NHL and NBA are both available to stream, while Grand Slam tennis tournaments are also on the list just like darts, cricket and snooker. Bet365 has even been named among the top 10 bookmakers for snooker.

For UK and Irish horse racing, bet365 customers require a funded account or to have placed a bet in the last 24 hours to be able to access the streams. These requirements are also in place for the vast majority of streams at bet365.

For other racing, users must place a qualifying bet of at least £0.50 win or £0.25 each way, or they will not be able to watch races live.

Through a Bet365 account and the operator's mobile app, users can also check out live sports on their iPhone, iPad or Android device. See our bet365 streaming guide and stream over 600,000 events each year.

Unibet has been known for impressive live streaming since the very start thanks to its Unibet TV service. Here, punters will find events for sports such as football, NFL, basketball and ice hockey. Indeed, if live streaming is available, the streaming icon will be shown just next to the market tally.

Football fans can tune in to Bundesliga, La Liga and Serie A games on Unibet TV, which also has everything from Australia’s A-League, Japan’s J1 League and the K League in South Korea to MLS and Chinese Super League action.

To watch horse racing events, a minimum £1 bet must be placed on the race at Unibet. Other sports are free, but account holders will need to have money in their account or have placed a cash bet within the last 24 hours.

Users at Unibet can also watch and bet on all the action with their mobile devices through the Unibet app, which works on Apple and Android devices and is on the App Store and Play Store.

We recommend reading our Unibet free sports stream guide to learn how to stream thousands of sporting events each month.

BoyleSports is considered to be one of the best betting sites for horse racing and part of that is the live-streaming coverage. While this is offered for other sports too, such as football and tennis, the horse racing and greyhound offering is by far the most impressive on the site.

Races from the UK, Ireland, the US, France and Italy are available to stream on the site and this is more than what most bookies offer. As is standard procedure, you need to place a £1 bet on the selected event to access the stream, but the rest of the sports are free to watch if you have an account.

In short, if you like to place bets on the sport of kings, you should sign up for an account on BoyleSports. We praised the site in our review and there are also some very good promotions to claim.

William Hill has a decent range of live streaming available. Users who join this betting site can watch the UK, Irish and South African racing through their account. However, in order to get access to racing streams, a bet of at least £1 has to be placed on the action.

There used to be a great selection of football streams at William Hill but this is no longer the case. Some competitions are still available, of course, but you will not find any of the prominent ones in the live-streaming section of William Hill.

On the other hand, top tennis and cricket events from around the world are available, while William Hill matches Bet365 in providing live NBA streams to basketball fans who sign up for an account on this site.

Aside from racing, all of the live streams at William Hill are free to view to all logged-in users subject to broadcaster territory restrictions. William Hill's radio service also broadcasts horse racing and greyhound commentaries live.

We would recommend checking out our guide for William Hill streaming too.

Live streams at Betfred are set out in an extremely user-friendly way. Live streams for ongoing action are in their section and users can filter by sport to find what they are looking for too.

The list of sports available is not as long as on some UK betting sites, though. Football, tennis, basketball, ice hockey and badminton are available at Betfred, while the offering for snooker is very good. Betfred has been the sponsor of several big snooker tournaments in the past, so this is no surprise.

Users must be logged in to their account to watch streams at Betfred. It is also possible to watch most sports without placing a bet, which is a big tick in the box for a lot of people.

The exceptions, as is the case with most betting sites that offer live streaming, are horse racing and greyhound racing. UK and US horse racing is available to stream for free, but Irish and international horse racing requires Betfred account holders to place a bet to access streams.

A bet of at least £1 - which can be 50p each way - is needed to watch greyhounds streaming and live horse racing from Ireland and the rest of the world at Betfred. Betfred also warns users its live streams can be delayed by up to 30 seconds.

Midnite is not the most well-known bookmaker in the UK but it is one of the best for Esports betting, featured in our top 5 list for just that. In addition to having a very comprehensive offering in terms of markets for Esports, Midnite also does a good job of adding live streaming to most events.

Since more or less all Esports events are streamed on the free-to-view platform, it does not really take much for bookmakers to offer streaming. Surprisingly, though, very few betting sites opt to embed the Twitch stream and this is rather disappointing. At Midnite, the embed is available and this makes for a good betting experience.

Simply head over to the Esports section and browse the current events. If live streaming is available, then a play icon similar to YouTube's logo will be present and entering the match centre will bring up the stream. As the streams are embedded from Twitch, no money is needed to access these.

LiveScore Bet is one of the new betting sites in the UK but most punters will still be very familiar with the brand. That is because the company also runs one of the best live score football apps in the UK, going by the name of LiveScore. The bookmaker already has a great reputation, in other words.

LiveScore has been big on live streaming and radio commentary ever since the start, meaning the current coverage is indeed impressive. Big competitions such as La Liga and Serie A can be streamed on the site and

In order to watch the streams, you need to have a funded account, an unused free bet or an open bet as stated on the site. It is thus very easy to unlock access and most punters are very used to this procedure anyway, as almost all betting sites require you to have a funded account.
