New US app makes it easier to find legal sports streams

With more and more digital platforms entering the streaming market for sports rights, it’s becoming more difficult to know which games are being streamed where.

A new app called Bleacher Report Live is going to help by listing which streaming services or TV channels you need to be able to watch certain games.

A useful feature of the app even tells users where to find the nearest bar showing the game, should they not wish to pay for a personal subscription themselves.

Originally launched as ‘Catch Sports,’ the app has been given a new name and design and is including a small number of free sports streams itself as part of the service.

By creating a personal account on the app, it will notify you of your favourite team’s upcoming games and where to watch them.

Not all international sports are listed, and it is focused on the US market for now, but with European leagues looking to fight illegal streams themselves it could be worth looking into launching something similar and make it easier for fans to follow their teams legally..
