Sport is the group people ask about most. The sports channels in CatchOn TV carry live matches and studio shows across several competitions, and the listings tell you what is on and when. Coverage changes with the line-up, so check the group in the app before a big match.
What the sports group holds
- Football, both American and association, with league matches and cup fixtures where the line-up carries them.
- Basketball, baseball and ice hockey, including regular-season games and playoffs.
- Combat sport and wrestling, which often appear as special events rather than on a fixed schedule.
- Studio shows, previews and results programmes that run between the live events.
Events that are sold on pay-per-view elsewhere may appear in the sports group as special broadcasts, and some are only shown in certain regions. We cannot promise any particular event will be available.
Getting ready for match day
Our match-day article goes through a checklist for the season. In short: check the programme guide the evening before, make sure your connection is on a wired or 5 GHz Wi-Fi link, and test the channel ten minutes before kick-off so a delay does not catch you out.
Live sport is the most demanding thing you can watch. If a match stutters, try the Full HD version of the same channel, and read the buffering checklist.
Questions about sport on CatchOn TV
Will every NFL, NBA or soccer game be on CatchOn TV?
No service can promise every fixture. The sports groups carry what the line-up includes, and the programme guide shows the events scheduled for each channel.
Are UFC and boxing events included?
Some fight events appear in the sports group when the line-up includes them. Check the guide for the event date; we cannot promise a particular card.
Can I record a match?
Recording depends on the app. TiviMate Premium, which is included with your plan, can record where the channel allows it. Catch-up is only offered on some channels.
Which screen is best for sport?
A Google TV or Android TV device, or a Fire TV Cube, handles live sport well. A phone is fine for a single match, but a larger screen shows the detail better.
