Key Notes
- The Bally Sports app is available for Firestick and Fire TVs from Fire OS 5.
As an ardent sports fan, I always keep myself updated on all sporting events. There are plenty of applications to stream major sports events. But to stream local sports events, I use only the Bally Sports platform. On my Firestick, I’ve installed the Bally Sports app from the Amazon App Store.
Though the Bally Sports app is free to install, it requires a cable TV provider subscription to watch its content on Firestick. Those who don’t have a TV provider subscription can sign up for Bally Sports+, which costs $19.99 per month or $189.99 per year. It includes a free trial for 7 days. You can get the subscription from the Bally Sports website.
