Watch Bundesliga On Kodi and Other Live Streaming Options that Work
With its high level of skill and internationally renowned players, the German Bundesliga is a football league which attracts devoted fans from all over the world. If you live in Germany, then it’s easy enough to watch Bundesliga matches on your TV through channels like Sky Deutschland or Eurosport, but what about if you live outside of Germany? In that case, it’s not so easy to find ways to watch the matches you want to see.
There are ways you can watch Bundesliga online though, so even if you’re travelling or are living somewhere in the world where football isn’t that popular, you can still keep up with the latest happenings in the league. Today we’re going to show you how to watch Bundesliga live streams online. First we’ll show you a couple of ways you can watch football and other sports using the Kodi software, then we’ll show two ways to watch matches through your web browser.
Watch Bundesliga on Kodi
When you want to watch sports on your computer, you know that it can be tough to find a good stream. If you watch sporting events regularly and you want a reliable way to find quality streams, then we suggest that you try out the Kodi media centre software. The software is free and open source, and can be used to organise and view your videos or audio files. More usefully, you can install add-ons to your Kodi installation which let you watch a massive range of content over the internet. Many of these add-ons include links to high-quality streams, for movies, TV shows, and sports events.
Once you’ve installed Kodi, you can add any number of add-ons to extend the functionality of the software. We’ll show you two of our favourite add-ons for watching sports live: SportsDevil and Sportie. Both of these can be used to watch Bundesliga live in a smooth, well-ordered environment with no pop ups ads or annoying interruptions.
Reminder – Protect your privacy
Streaming content is exciting, but have you taken a moment to consider your security while doing so? After all, some of the third-party add-ons available for Kodi allow you to illegally access copyrighted materials (such as sports streams), and providers have been cracking down on Kodi users harder recently. If you use these add-ons over an unsecured connection, you could be breaking the law and liable for a fine.
We strongly recommend that you use a VPN if you’re going to stream football matches using Kodi add-ons. A VPN will encrypt all of the data that is sent from your device over the internet, so that no one can see what you’re watching. This means that neither your ISP nor law enforcement can easily see if you’re viewing illegal streams.
We Recommend IPVanish for Kodi Users
The VPN that we recommend for Kodi is IPVanish. With this premium VPN, connections are super-fast, in no small part due to the fact that they maintain over 850 servers in 61 countries. They have a strict no-logging policy and 256-bit AES encryption to boot, with software support for all major operating systems and devices.
With a VPN in place, we can move on to installing the add-ons in order to watch Bundesliga live streams.
IPVanish offers a 7-day money back guarantee which means you have a week to test it risk-free. Please note that Addictive Tips readers can save a massive 60% here on the IPVanish annual plan, taking the monthly price down to only $4.87/mo.
1. SportsDevil Addon
SportsDevil is probably the most popular Kodi add-on for sports, and among the most popular in all categories. This is because it has a massive range of sports to watch, including football, cricket, rugby, tennis, golf, and much more. The football section is quite extensive and has streams for matches from all over the world including the Bundesliga. Here’s how to install the SportsDevil add-on:
- Begin on your Kodi home screen
- Click on the settings icon, then go to File Manager
- Click on Add source
- Click on the box where it says <None>
- Enter in this URL: https://kdil.co/repo/ Make sure to type it exactly as written, including the https://, or it won’t work
- Give the source a name. We’ll call it kodil
- Click OK
- Go back to your home screen
- Click on Add-ons
- Click on the icon that looks like an open box
- Click on Install from zip file
- Click on kodil, then kodil.zip
- Wait for a moment and you’ll see a notification once the source has been installed
- Return to the add-ons menu, then once again hit the open box.
- Click Install from repository
- Click .www.Kodisrael.co.il Repository, then Video add-ons
- Find SportsDevil, then select Install
- Wait a moment for the confirmation that your add-0n has been installed
Once SportsDevil is installed, you can use it to watch the match of your choosing. Here’s how to locate and stream the Bundesliga match that you want:
- Start on your Kodi home screen
- Go to Add-ons
- Go to Video add-ons
- Select SportsDevil
- Go to Live Sports
- Go to Bundesliga-Streams.net
- You’ll see a list of Bundesliga matches which are coming up or which were on recently. Click the title of any game and you’ll see a list of channels. Click on a channel and the stream will begin. This is helpful as there are multiple channels for each match, meaning that if one stream isn’t working you can always try one of the others instead
2. FTFA
FTFA does things a little differently. Most sports and movie streaming add-ons focus on specific titles or events, building up an archive of on-demand content you can sift through and watch at your leisure. With FTFA, however, you’re presented with a list of IPTV channels that stream in real-time. No stale archives or broken links, just fresh content on-tap and ready. There’s even a live pay-per-view section that rotates on a regular basis!
How to Install FTFA
FTFA is available through the Brettus Repository. Installation is pretty standard as far as Kodi add-ons go, but you will need to sort through a list of repos and possibly even activate the add-on with a free PIN. We’ve outlined the installation steps below to make things as easy as possible.
- Open Kodi and click on the gear icon.
- Go to File Manager > Add Source.
- Add the following URL exactly as it appears: https://toptutorialsrepo.co.uk/kodi/Repos/
- Enter an easy to remember name, such as toptuts
- Click OK. Kodi will add the repo to your sources list.
- Go back to the main menu and select Add-ons, then click the open box icon.
- Choose Install from Zip File, then select the repo named above.
- Scroll down and find the file named repository.Brettusrepo-#.#.zip
- Install the repo, then go back to the open box menu and choose Install from Repository.
- Select the entry named Brettus Builds Repository.
- Navigate to Video add-ons.
- Look for the FTFA add-on in the list and install it.
- Launch the add-on. You may be prompted to activate the add-on through an external site. If so, continue with the steps below. Don’t worry, it’s free and perfectly safe.
- Click OK to confirm the pop-up window. A website will load in your browser.
- Click the blue GENERATE button to receive a PIN.
- Copy the PIN, then go back to Kodi and paste it into the window.
- After a moment the FTFA add-on will validate and be ready to use.
How to Use FTFA
As soon as you fire up FTFA you’ll see a collection of servers located in the U.S. and UK. Each one has a variety of channels broadcasting all kinds of content, including new movies, classic TV shows, and of course, every sport imaginable. You’ll need to consult a schedule to see when Bundesliga matches will be shown, but once you have that information in hand, jumping on to catch the latest in German football is extremely easy.
Bundesliga is shown on several channels in the UK, namely on the BT Sport network. FTFA has several of these streams ready to go at all times. Simply run the add-on, click on the Live TV Server 2 UK IPTV category, then choose one of the channels below:
- BT Sport ESPN HD UK
- BT Sport ESPN UK
- BT Sport 3 UK
When the match airs, make sure you have your stream queued up and ready to go. You’ll be able to watch everything live on your Kodi device as easily as you would on TV!
Watch High-quality Bundesliga Live Streams with a Pass from Eurosport
If you watch a lot of Bundesliga and you like to watch your games live and in high quality, then you might consider a subscription for the Eurosport Player website. Eurosport is an official Bundesliga broadcaster, so you can see all of the Bundesliga games through this channel. If you don’t have a TV but you want to watch Eurosport, you can get a pass for the website.
Eurosport passes cost £4.99 for a day pass, which is ideal if there is just one big match which you’re keen to watch at home or with your friends. There’s also an annual pass which costs £29.99–an outstanding deal for watching a whole year’s worth of football matches. Games are streamed through the website live and in very high quality, and you’ll get access to lots of other sports content too. For more information about Eurosport’s coverage of the Bundesliga, you can head to https://www.eurosport.com/football/bundesliga/.
You can sign up for the Eurosport Player service at https://gb.eurosportplayer.com/subscribe
Watch Bundesliga Live Streams for Free with Links from the SoccerStreams SubReddit
If you’d rather not pay for a subscription, there are some other options for watching the Bundesliga. It’s notoriously difficult to find a high-fidelity and reliable stream for sporting events online, as many streams you’ll find links to are either of very poor quality, or are incorrectly labelled. However, there are some resources for finding solid links for sports live streams.
One of the best places for quality live streaming links for football matches is the SoccerStreams SubReddit. This site collects links for streaming football matches from all over the world, including the Bundesliga. Links are submitted by the community, and users on the SubReddit are usually very helpful if you’re looking for a particular match. But beware that many of the streaming links you’ll find here are not legal, so you should protect yourself with a VPN before using any of the streams you find here.
When you visit /r/SoccerStreams, you’ll see that each match is listed as a topic, with the time at which the match starts and the two teams playing as the title. Click on this title and you’ll go to the comments page for that match. In the comments users will add links to streams, which are marked as SD for standard definition and HD for high definition. Sometimes users will state whether or not the stream contains ads, which language the commentary is in, and whether a mobile version of the stream is available or not. Browse the links until you find one which has the features you’re looking for, then click the link to be taken to the stream.
Although streams go up and down rather often, there are so many links for each match that you can always find another link if the one you’re using stops working.
You can find the SoccerStreams Reddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/soccerstreams/
Conclusion
There are lots of ways to watch live Bundesliga matches on your computer. If you’re a big sports fan who watches matches at home regularly, then you might want to try installing the Kodi media centre software so that you can use the SportsDevil and Sportie add-ons. Both of these add-ons have streams for football matches including Bundesliga, plus other sports like basketball, rugby, boxing, and American football. They can both be used for watching matches live, and Sportie can be used to watch matches after they’ve aired too.
If you’d rather watch matches through your web browser and not have to install any new software, you have two options. You can pay for a Eurosport pass, which is relatively cheap and lets you access very high quality and reliable streams of all the Bundesliga matches. Alternatively, you can try to find a link on the SoccerStreams Reddit, which is free but less reliable.
