With very few of us able to watch sport in stadiums currently, the desire for consuming sports media online is bigger than ever before. We’re all glued to the likes of social media and sports news channels, whether we’re lovers of football, cricket, rugby, or any other sport.
There are thousands of apps in the likes of the App Store and Google Play which target sports fans, all having their own unique take on what they offer. But what are the apps that every sports fan should have on their device?
Sports News
First and foremost, it’s always useful to have a sports news app on your device. There are many well-established apps and respected names that offer apps, including the likes of the BBC, ESPN and Sky Sports. In many cases you can tailor your preferences to suit your sporting interests, while you can also stream live sport and watch highlights too.
Betting Apps
Gambling is a part and parcel of sport these days, and nothing quite beats a Saturday afternoon acca. Betting apps are all singing, all dancing these days, with brands such as acepokies.net also offering plenty of casino games to enjoy in your sporting downtime too. From simple sportsbooks to high roller online casinos, you’ll find dozens of trusted apps in your app store to place your bets.
Social Media
If you’re looking for breaking news, it really doesn’t come much quicker than Twitter these days. All sports teams and respected journalists have accounts on Twitter these days, and it’s always here in which news will break first before full write-ups appear on sports news sites and apps. They’re a must for anyone wanting to stay in the loop with the latest sport.
Streaming Services
No matter what sport you love, you’ll find a relvant app to allow you to live stream games. For US sports you’ll find the likes of NFL Game Pass and NBA TV, while the likes of Amazon Prime, ESPN, and BT Sport all allow you to stream sport through your mobile device, meaning you won’t miss a moment no matter where you are. What is worth noting, however, is that in many cases you will need a subscription to watch. These vary in price, with some one-off payments, while others recurring monthly costs. Make sure you read the terms and conditions alongside prices before signing up.
