Official guidance on illegal streaming
Authorities in both football and government have been clear about the dangers of illegal streaming. The UK Government warns that "piracy exposes consumers to malware, fraud and other cyber-crime while undermining the creative industries that invest in live sport." The Premier League has stated bluntly that "watching pirate streaming services is a crime, full stop," warning fans that using these sites can leave them exposed to prosecution and data theft. UEFA supports coordinated law enforcement action to shut down illegal streaming services and has reaffirmed that "the fight against the online piracy of our competitions remains a key priority." Together, these warnings clearly support switching to licensed broadcasters such as Sky Sports, TNT Sports and DAZN as the only safe and legal way to enjoy live football.
