Best Live TV streaming services in India in 2025

It doesn’t seem like very long ago that cable TV and DTH were the only ways to get access to content, and you obviously had to follow programming schedules for most things. Streaming has taken over in a big way since, and many of us have now ‘cut the cord’ on traditional cable TV and switched entirely to streaming for access to content. Usefully, the popularity of streaming and the ease of access on even smartphones, laptops, and tablets has made it the go-to method of accessing most content, including live TV online.

From sports games and tournaments, to major live events such as concerts and comedy gigs, there’s a lot of content that you can stream live, in addition to being able to watch it on traditional DTH or cable TV. Various streaming services offer popular live content in India. Here are the best services to subscribe to if you’re looking for quality live TV content via streaming.
