Legal Alternatives to Streameast
The Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE) has made a significant impact by shutting down Streameast, one of the world’s largest illegal sports streaming websites. This action comes at a crucial time when fans are seeking legitimate ways to watch college football and NFL games live without risking their devices or personal information.
Streameast attracted over 1 billion visitors in the past year, making it a massive threat to the legal streaming services and broadcast networks that provide these events. The coalition seized devices used by Streameast, effectively ending its operations. This move has not only protected consumers from potential scams but also ensured they can continue enjoying their favorite sports legally.
Streaming Services for Football Fans
As a result of the shutdown, several streaming services are stepping up to provide fans with legal and affordable options. FuboTV, priced at $84.99 per month, is offering $30 off the first month along with a free trial period. DirecTVStream starts at $89.99 monthly, provides a free trial, and includes $35 off the initial payment.
Sling TV offers a base package for $45.99 per month, while Peacock is even more budget-friendly at just $7.99 per month.
These services are not only competing with each other but also offering incentives to attract subscribers in the wake of Streameast’s closure. By providing competitive pricing and promotional deals, they hope to ensure that football fans can continue enjoying their favorite games legally without any financial strain.
