How to Watch Live Boxing on the Firestick
Firestick is an extremely convenient way to stream content, and it’s well-suited to viewing live boxing. Today, we show you a few proven methods to watch boxing on Firestick, including both official Fire TV channels and unofficial workarounds via Kodi.
Amazon’s Fire TV and Fire Stick devices are the perfect ways to stream live video to your television. They’re easy to use, inexpensive, and offer a wide variety of apps that provide instant access to virtually anything including blockbuster movies, sports, anime, and foreign films. If you’re a boxing fan who wants to watch boxing on Firestick, you naturally want access to all the live matches you can get your mitts on. With the right apps and add-ons, you can enjoy live bouts from the comfort of your own living room.
Before You Begin, Get a Good VPN
Whether you’re streaming live sports matches or just relaxing with a movie or two, it’s important that you keep your Fire TV device secure with a good VPN. Virtual private networks encrypt data leaving your home so that no one can tell what you’re streaming, what you’re downloading, where you are or even who you are. This restores privacy to all online interactions and allows you to watch whatever you want without worrying about throttling or surveillance efforts.
We evaluated the top VPNs to find the services that work best with Amazon Fire TV. Below is our top recommendation, providing fast, secure, and easy to use VPN protection on all of your home devices.
NordVPN – Best for Firestick
NordVPN is now available in Amazon’s Appstore, making it the default best VPN to use with your Firestick. No other provider has continuously pushed the envelope for VPN performance and privacy, and this is most evident in their massive network.
To date, there are over 5,800 NordVPN servers in 59 countries, and the number is growing all the time. This allows you to spoof your IP into a new location to both unblock regionally restricted content, which is music to the ears of anyone looking to watch boxing on Firestick from abroad. What’s more, NordLynx encryption delivers fast speeds and unbreakable security, hiding your Firestick and Kodi traffic from ISPs just waiting to throttle back your 4K live boxing stream.
NordVPN takes your anonymity seriously, offering a strict no-logging policy which has passed through scrutiny from numerous independent auditors over the years.

How to Watch Boxing on Firestick
Got your VPN and are ready to stream? Below are some of the most reliable ways to watch boxing on Firestick. They’re easy to use, fast, and remarkably inexpensive. Each provider listed here has a native Fire TV app available in the Amazon Appstore unless noted otherwise.
DAZN
DAZN is one of the most important destinations for boxing on Firestick right now. It holds broadcast rights to major promotions including Matchroom Boxing, Golden Boy, and Top Rank events in multiple countries. In the US, Canada, UK, Germany, and several other markets, DAZN offers a subscription that includes a large volume of live boxing cards. Some marquee fights — particularly heavyweight title bouts — are sold as separate PPV add-ons on top of the subscription price, so check the event listing before fight night. The DAZN app is available directly in the Amazon Appstore. Note that content varies significantly by region: a US subscription does not provide the same fight card access as a UK subscription.
ESPN App and ESPN+
The ESPN app is free to download from the Amazon Appstore and gives Firestick users access to ESPN+ with a subscription (currently around $11/month or bundled with Disney+ and Hulu). ESPN+ carries a steady stream of Top Rank boxing cards, Friday Night Fights, and other live bouts included in the monthly fee. Larger fights promoted by Top Rank — and most UFC PPV events for context — are sold as separate PPV purchases directly through the app. ESPN+ is a US-only service, so a VPN will be required if you are abroad. Sign into your ESPN account after installing the app and your subscription content is immediately accessible.
Prime Video
Amazon Prime Video is already built into every Firestick, making it one of the most frictionless ways to watch boxing on Firestick. Prime Video has aired exclusive live boxing events in the UK (notably some Eddie Hearn/Matchroom cards) and in the US. Some events are included with a standard Prime membership, while others are available as paid PPV add-ons purchased directly through the Prime Video interface. Check the Prime Video sports section or the dedicated Boxing channel for current event listings. Availability differs by country, so UK Prime members have historically had access to different cards than US members.
Triller TV (formerly FITE TV)
Triller TV, which absorbed the FITE TV platform, is a dedicated combat sports streaming service with a Fire TV app available in the Amazon Appstore. It operates primarily on a per-event PPV model, though some cards are available free or with a Triller TV+ subscription. It covers a wide range of boxing promotions from around the world — including many mid-tier and international cards that larger services skip — making it a great supplement to a main boxing subscription. Pricing varies per event. The service is available in most regions globally, though some events carry geographic blackouts.
PPV.com
PPV.com is a straightforward pay-per-view platform that carries major boxing events, including cards from promoters like Premier Boxing Champions. There is no subscription involved — you simply create an account, purchase the specific event you want to watch, and stream it on fight night. The PPV.com app is available in the Amazon Appstore. This is a good option for viewers who only want to pay for the occasional big fight rather than committing to a monthly service.
Sky Sports Box Office (UK)
UK viewers can use the Sky Sports Box Office app to purchase and watch major boxing PPV events on Firestick. This covers high-profile British and international fights, including many cards promoted by Matchroom and BT/TNT Sport-affiliated promoters. You do not need a full Sky subscription to buy a Box Office event — you can purchase directly through the app. The service is geo-restricted to the UK, so a UK-based VPN server will be required if you are watching from abroad.
TNT Sports (UK)
TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport) holds rights to a range of live boxing in the UK, including some World Boxing Super Series and other premium cards. Access requires a TNT Sports subscription, typically bundled through a TV provider or available directly via the discovery+ app, which is accessible on Firestick through the Amazon Appstore. This is a subscription-based service with boxing included — no separate PPV purchase is required for most events in their lineup. UK geo-restriction applies.
How to Watch Boxing PPV on Firestick
Many of the biggest boxing events — heavyweight title fights, superfights, and major cards — are sold as pay-per-view purchases rather than included in a subscription. Here is the standard workflow for buying and watching a boxing PPV on Firestick, regardless of which platform you use.
Understanding Subscription Boxing vs. PPV Events
Before you buy anything, it helps to know the difference between the two models. Subscription boxing means the fights are included in your monthly fee — ESPN+ and DAZN (for most of their cards) work this way. PPV boxing means you pay a one-off fee per event, on top of or instead of a subscription. DAZN charges extra for some mega-fights even to subscribers, while PPV.com and Triller TV operate almost entirely on a per-event basis. Always check the event page on the platform before fight night so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Step-by-Step: Buying and Watching a Boxing PPV on Firestick
- Install the provider’s app. On your Firestick, press the Home button, go to the Search icon, and type the name of the service (for example, DAZN, ESPN, or PPV.com). Select the app and choose Get or Download to install it from the Amazon Appstore.
- Create or sign into your account. Open the app and either log in with your existing credentials or sign up for a new account. For services like PPV.com or Triller TV, you can create a free account and then purchase individual events without needing an ongoing subscription.
- Purchase the event. Navigate to the event listing — usually found under a Live, Sports, or Boxing tab. If the fight is a PPV add-on, you will see a Buy or Order button with the price listed. Complete the purchase using the payment method linked to your account. Some platforms allow in-app purchases billed through your Amazon account, which can be more convenient on Firestick.
- Open the event tile on fight night. Return to the app when the event is live, find the fight card tile, and press Select to begin streaming. Most platforms will display a countdown timer if the main event has not yet started, and undercard bouts are often streamed ahead of the main card.
- Troubleshoot access if needed. If you purchased the event but cannot access the stream, try the following: sign out of the app and sign back in, select a Restore Purchases or Refresh Entitlements option if one is available in the app settings, restart the Firestick by holding the Select and Play buttons simultaneously for five seconds, or contact the platform’s support chat. Do not wait until the main event to discover an access issue — test your login and check the event tile a few hours before the fight.
Use Kodi to Watch Boxing on Firestick
Subscription services like the ones listed above aren’t the only methods of watching live boxing. By installing Kodi on your Fire TV you’ll have instant access to a massive variety of add-on content, many of which focus on getting live sports streams from around the world. If you’re looking for even more options beyond Kodi, there are numerous sports streaming websites available that offer boxing and other live sports content.
Installing Kodi
The free and open-source media center software Kodi is available on a wide variety of devices, including Fire TV and Fire Stick. It allows you to access official content through packed-in extensions, but also unofficial content via third-party add-ons. Which group you choose is up to you. Below we offer options for each, both of which have advantages and disadvantages.
First, though, you’ll need to get Kodi up and running. Even though the app runs perfectly fine on Fire TV, you can’t install Kodi through the built-in marketplace. Instead, sideloading is your only option. It’s completely safe and doesn’t take long to do, however, so just follow the linked instructions for the easy way to install Kodi on Fire TV and Fire Stick and you’ll be streaming in no time!
Always Use a VPN with Kodi
We’ve already gone over the virtues of using a VPN in this article, but it especially bears repeating when talking about Kodi. While the open-source software is completely free and legal to use, many of its unofficial add-ons grant access to copyrighted or otherwise geo-restricted content. Predictably, ISPs and copyright holders have taken a dim view of Kodi as a whole, and have been known to levy preemptive countermeasures against its users even when they are streaming lawfully.
To protect yourself when you watch boxing on Firestick through Kodi, you need a VPN like NordVPN which makes it impossible for anyone to detect your Kodi traffic.
Please note: AddictiveTips in no way condones piracy or streaming illegally. Our only concern in recommending a VPN is to protect lawful Kodi users from the whims of overzealous authorities who indiscriminately target Kodi traffic.
Official Add-ons to Use
If you want to watch boxing through Kodi on your Firestick, the most reliable and future-proof approach is to use the official native Fire TV apps described in the section above — DAZN, ESPN, Prime Video, Triller TV, and PPV.com — rather than Kodi add-ons. These apps are maintained by the services themselves, receive regular updates, and support the full purchase and playback workflow for both subscription and PPV events.
Kodi add-ons that were previously recommended for official sports streams — such as NBC Sports Extra, CBC Sports, and FOX Sports GO — are no longer a reliable path for boxing on Firestick. NBC Sports Extra has been folded into Peacock, CBC Sports has significantly changed its streaming model, and FOX Sports GO has been replaced by the FOX Sports app. None of these Kodi add-ons are actively maintained for current boxing content. For the best experience, install the official Fire TV apps directly from the Amazon Appstore rather than routing through Kodi for legal sports content.
Unofficial Add-on for Boxing – SportsDevil
Important note: Unofficial Kodi sports add-ons — including SportsDevil and similar alternatives — are inherently unstable and frequently disappear without warning. Repositories go offline, add-ons stop receiving updates, and streams that worked one week may be completely broken the next. We are not able to verify that any specific unofficial add-on is currently functional on a modern Firestick build, and we recommend against relying on them for a marquee fight you have been looking forward to.
For reliable, consistent access to live boxing on Firestick, the official apps listed earlier in this article — DAZN, ESPN+, Prime Video, Triller TV, and PPV.com — are a far better choice. They work without sideloading workarounds, support proper PPV purchasing, and will not disappear overnight.
Conclusion
Learning how to watch boxing on Firestick isn’t as difficult as it may seem. With the right apps or the right software installed, you can keep up with all the latest matches with ease. Be sure to keep your VPN active in the background for completely secure streaming!
