Watch Live Football And Sport On Google Chrome

If you want to watch free live sports in your browser, Chrome enjoys a big advantage – the Live Sport extension.

Chrome Live Sport extension provides a schedule of live sports from around the world with accompanying links to live streaming videos to watch online in your web browser – without having to install additional programs like Sopcast.

Chrome Live Sport is as easy to use as the popular MyP2P website. The sports covered are Football (soccer), Tennis, Basketball, Baseball, Volleyball and Others (minor sports). The Football selection includes the English Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Champions League etc. The Tennis selection includes major ATP and WTA events like the US Open etc.

There is also the option to just view live scores but this covers Football only.

Chrome Live Sport is free and can be downloaded from the Google Chrome Web Store here – after installing you should see a picture of a football in the top right of Chrome.

Click on the football to display two menu options – click on Live Stream (for video feeds) or Live Score (for football scores):

Live Stream: The live stream selection window pops up as shown in the example below:

• To make it easier to check what’s on, change the time in the top right to GMT + or – however many hours you need to match your local time zone. The clock will change too and should match your current time.
• Select your desired sport (Football or Tennis etc) from the menu to display the schedule for today’s current and future events.
• Click the Video button of the event you want to watch and hopefully you will see one or more links to live video streams. The links are called Link #1 and Link #2 etc and there are often several different suppliers of such feeds to choose from.
• Click on a Link to open up the live streaming video feed in a new window – most feeds have an option to choose ‘Full Screen’ if you prefer.

Tips: Just like MyP2P, the quality of video feeds can vary considerably – if one is poor, intermittent or isn’t showing the right event, try another Link. A few feeds may state (next to the Link) that they require registration – this may require payment so try a different Link instead.

There may be no commentary or it may be in a foreign language – it just depends on where the feed is coming from. The more popular the event, the more likely there are to be multiple (and better quality) feeds.

Live Score: The Live Score selection window pops up showing today’s matches – for Football only.

• Click on the menu bar if you want to change to ‘Live Now’ or ‘Scheduled’ or ‘Finished’ scores. The screen is updated every 5 seconds so there is no need to refresh the page.
• Click on an actual score to reveal more info e.g. the goalscorers, time that a goal was scored and any yellow/red cards.

Where Do The Streaming Videos Come From?

The Live Sport extension developers say they do not host any video streams on their server i.e. Live Sport just lists the feeds and links to them like MyP2p.eu does – the feeds themselves are hosted elsewhere on the internet. Providing the links in an easily accessible format means you don’t have to scour the internet looking for them.

Whether the actual feeds are strictly legal is anyone’s guess – it depends who provides them. This is similar to MyP2P but to be accepted into the Chrome Web Store we assume that Google are happy that the Live Sport extension itself is safe to use.
