About Buffstreams
Buffstreams have been around for a few years and have operated under several cloned domains (more recently available on buffstreams.tv, buffstream.live and buffstreamz.com) and different names (such as Buffstreamz or Buffstream) - they provide live streams from major U.S. broadcasters for all upcoming live sport and offer a game schedule so users know what matches are showing next.
Is it safe to use Buffstreams?
In a word, no. You may think you're getting a free, live stream to your favourite match, but to get to it you need to click through many forms of malvertising which can seriously harm your device and even cause financial loss.
Users of Buffstreams or other live sports streams should be also aware that accessing these live streams are acting illegally and could face prosecution if they are caught downloading and watching copyrighted material.
Is Buffstreams legal?
At its core, Buffstreams operates in a legal grey area because it hosts content that is often copyrighted. Broadcasting sports events usually involves significant investment from the rights holders, whether they're television networks or official streaming services. By providing free streams, Buffstreams can potentially infringe on these copyrights, making the platform a target for legal action.
Is Buffstreams down at the moment?
Due to the nature of live streaming websites such as Buffstreams, they receive many DMCA notices and legal challenges, so they regularly clone their domains elsewhere to avoid being shut down.
Is there an alternative to Buffstreams?
There are hundreds of Buffstream alternatives (a few are mentioned above), but we would always recommend that you watch live sport on Fox Sports, NBC, DAZN or ESPN via an official subscription. You can view our US sport streaming schedules for a better idea of where to legally watch upcoming events and plan your sports watching.
