In India, there are several local platforms that provide sports streaming services, although free live football streaming specifically faces challenges due to licensing restrictions. Hotstar, now rebranded as Disney+ Hotstar, is a prominent Indian streaming service that offers live sports, including football, through subscription plans. It holds rights to various tournaments but typically requires a paid membership for full access.
SonyLIV is another major player in the Indian market, streaming football matches from leagues like the UEFA Champions League and others, often under subscription models. JioTV, accessible to Jio users, sometimes includes sports channels broadcasting football, but availability depends on channel partnerships and may not be entirely free for premium content.
While these platforms are popular, completely free and legal live football streaming is limited in India due to copyright laws. Users are advised to use official services to avoid piracy issues. For 2024, checking official apps and websites for any free trial offers or limited free access during major events is recommended. |
