It broadcasts soccer leagues, tournaments, and other international sports channels. Commentary is generally available in English, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese, depending on channel.

You’ll also find motorsports, golf, handball, polo, and more.

In the US, services like this are worth considering for soccer fans, because many leagues and tournaments can be hard to find.

How To Sign Up

Fanatiz works like any other streaming service. Here are the basics:

1. Start by registering for a free account.
2. Signing up for a free 7-day trial of the Front Row plan which lets you try the full service for seven days.
3. Your subscription will start on the 8th day.

More Details About Subscribing

• The basic price is $9.99 per month with no contracts or commitments. You can cancel at any time.
• Supported streaming devices include Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, computers, mobile, and others.

Fanatiz Channels

You’ll get the following sports channels on Fanatiz:

Fanatiz Prices and Plans

Fanatiz offers several plans to US viewers:

• Freemium Plan: The free tier gives you access to four live channels: beIN Sports Xtra, For the Fans, beIN Sports Xtra en Español, and RealMadrid TV Español. You get highlights, statistics, and information, plus some sports.
• Front Row Plan: The standard $9.99/month plan. Save $40 by signing up for a year for $79.99.
• Brasileirão Play Pack: Get all the best of futebol brasileiro with live and on demand Brasileirão Serie A and B games, documentaries, highlights, and more, $7.99/month or $63.99/year.
• AFA Play Pack: Every Argentine Professional League match, live or on demand, plus other sports and channels live from Argentina, interviews, documentaries, highlights, and more, $7.99/month or $63.99/year.

There are no contracts and no long-term plans. You can cancel your package any time during the free trial.

Freemium Plan vs. Free Trial

The freemium plan will not satisfy the vast majority of serious soccer fans. Here’s why:

• BeIN Sports Xtra is not the same channel as beIN Sports — they cover different sports, different leagues.
• The more popular, higher division leagues and tourneys (like Ligue1 and Copa Libertadores) are going to be on beIN Sports, not beIN Sports Xtra.
• You can find a complete list of leagues beIN Sports Xtra covers on the beIN Sports website.

If you want to truly experience what Fanatiz has to offer, we recommend signing up for the 7-day free trial, which gives you a whole week of all the live channels, entire top flight matches, and thousands of hours of exclusive content.

International Streaming

For this Fanatiz review, we’ve mainly focused on US content because we’re in the States. That said, Fanatiz is an international streaming service that offers a wide range of sports coverage to many countries around the world. Here are a few price points around the globe:

Fanatiz is available outside the above areas for $5.99 USD/month, but the coverage is much more limited. All countries get the benefit of the 7-day free trial.

Supported Devices

Fanatiz is available on the most commonly-used streaming devices. Besides watching it with a Chrome or Firefox browser on your desktop or laptop computer, you can also stream on:

• Android TV
• Android mobile
• iOS devices
• Roku
• Apple TV
• Amazon Fire TV
• Chromecast

For exact supported models, refer to the supported devices section at support.fanatiz.com.

Our Choice

I can’t give you a one-size-fits-all recommendation for Fanatiz, but if you like soccer and it doesn’t seem like the right choice for you, here are my recommended alternatives:

• Fubo: 35+ sports channels and more. The only service that includes Univision and all the TUDN channels. Fubo allows you to try out its service with a free trial.
• DIRECTV STREAM: The most costly of all services listed, but the $89.99 per month plan offers more regional sports channels than any other service with exclusive access to Peru Magico and more. New customers get a 5-day free trial with DIRECTV STREAM.
• SlingTV: One of the cheapest live TV online streaming alternatives. Plenty of sports channels, including the likes of ESPN and beIN Sports. Save 50% on your first month of Sling TV.

Mexican soccer fans: You should take a look at combining Fanatiz and Fubo, which includes all the Univision/TUDN stations that cover Liga MX.

Beyond the Americas: Fanatiz would be a great companion service to ESPN+ (Bundesliga, La Liga), Paramount+ (UEFA and more), and Peacock (EPL).

To get beIN Sports: Fanatiz is by far the cheapest way to watch beIN Sports. (Next cheapest is $40/month with Sling TV.) beIN Sports covers a lot of soccer (all of the European leagues Fanatiz carries are on beIN Sports, such as Ligue1 and Süperlig).

Latin American soccer fans: Almost as important to a dedicated fan is all the channels needed brought together into one affordable package. Most of these channels — Real Madrid TV, GOL TV, CATV, NuestraTele — can be found on other streaming services, but they’re tucked away in Spanish-language packages or catch-all sports add-ons. This gives you a bundle that is specifically tuned to a soccer fan’s tastes.

FAQ

What is Fanatiz?

Fanatiz is a streaming service dedicated almost exclusively to soccer coverage. Originally from Chile, it now covers most of South and Central America along with parts of Europe. It features both direct broadcast live games and matches through its live channels.

Is Fanatiz TV free?

Making an account is free and does not require a credit card. There is a freemium plan, which includes temporary (roughly 1 minute) access to most channels and full access to four: beIN Sports Xtra, beIN Sports Xtra Español, Real Madrid TV, and For the Fans. The first and fourth are in English and the other two are in Spanish.

What sports does Fanatiz have?

Fanatiz offers content based on where you live. In the US, there’s basketball, handball, boxing, motorsports, and, of course, soccer. You can catch every time River Plate goes up against Boca Juniors, or, if you’re more of a Ligue1 fan, never miss a PSG match. You’ll receive the following tournaments and more:

What leagues does Fanatiz have?

Like asking which channels, this is not as straightforward an answer as you would think. Depending on your country, you may have as few as two or three, but in the US, there’s around 25. This is a partial list of what US viewers can tune into with Fanatiz:

Complicating matters is the constantly-shifting nature of sports broadcasting rights, especially in Europe. Fanatiz depends mostly on its live channels for its sports coverage, so if one of its channels loses rights to a league, Fanatiz loses that league too.

Can I record Fanatiz?

Fanatiz does not have any cloud DVR capability at this time. It does provide all of the content it can on demand, to the extent allowed by the channels supplying the content. You can watch anything from beIN Sports for up to 72 hours after it airs live.

Is Fanatiz legal?

100% totally, completely, absolutely legal and above-board. All of Fanatiz’s content is officially and legitimately licensed from its source broadcasters. This is not one of those sleazy “free streaming” websites — this is the real deal. You can watch with your conscience clear that you’re not ripping off your favorite team in the process.
