You can find free sports streams fairly easily. I've never had cable and been able to stream any sporting event I wanted live and in high quality. Would work on a tablet as well I imagine, as you'll only need a browser.

Really? It’s not all ****ed up and freezing all the time and all that?

If all you need is a browser why can’t you do it on your phone?

As a Chromebook owner I'd assume a tablet doesn't do so well with the streaming. At least a Chromebook doesn't have the best processing power and generally struggles to stream anything higher than 480p, and I'd assume a tablet would have the same problem.

Ah, I suppose the key is being hooked up to hdmi. Doesn't work so well over wifi, but it's still possible. It can be done on your phone it's just difficult to navigate through all the pop-ups and ****. I suppose on a tablet it would just be bigger screen = better.

I watched the last UFC event on my computer pretty seemlessly with a link from a friend. No idea how people find these sites, but theyre out there. Idk enough about cellphone crap to know why it wouldnt work on one, but i wouldnt want to watch sports on a tiny ass phone anyway.

Twitter and Discord for me. And I watched the last UFC event on my phone, was perfect and in HD.

Hawk, sometimes it buffers but that's the nature of streams, there are always multiple links though so if it does buffer you just put another one on. A tablet will be fine for sports.
