How to watch pay-per-view on firestick for free 2022

I will keep the post’s focus on FireStick though. You can use all these official apps and services on other smart devices to start streaming PPV events. By the way, when I mention FireStick, it covers all FireStick variants such as FireStick Lite, FireStick 4K, FireStick Max, Fire Cube, and Fire TV.

Gone are the days when we used to pay for a single cable package for all our entertainment needs. Select a relevant package and it includes all the sports, news, entertainment, and kids’ channels. The times are changing now. We have new streaming services ready to take place of cord connection at home. Due to pricing structure and other factors, streaming companies place high-profile events under the PPV section. Here’s how you can watch PPV (pay-per-view) on FireStick.

Content viewing works differently on streaming services. You might need to subscribe to more than two or three different apps to meet all family content viewing needs.

The PPV concept has been there since cable days. In past, you needed to buy the PPV event from a cable operator. It doesn’t work the same way on FireStick.

Before I go ahead and show you how to watch PPV on FireStick. You need to understand why you are paying differently for specific sports events in the first place and why PPV events are excluded from normal app subscriptions.

Why Are PPV Events Excluded from Normal Subscriptions?

First of all, PPV events are reserved for high-profile sports events (mostly boxing matches). For instance, when controversial YouTuber Jake Paul made his debut in professional boxing, Showtime aired it as a PPV event and didn’t bundle the fight with the normal monthly subscription.

The recent Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley fight was advertised at PPV for $59.99 by Showtime. So what’s the reason behind the separate and high prices of these PPV events?

The cost of high-profile events is too steep for organizers. They can’t afford to bundle these fights with a regular monthly subscription. For example, in the Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley 2 fight, both the participants agreed to step into the ring with a 2 million price tag.

Add advertising and other production costs, it’s not an economically viable option for network providers like Showtime or FITE to air these fights with your monthly subscription. To cover these costs (and make profiles, after all, that’s the whole point in the first place), streaming services must distribute them via PPV (pay-per-view).

Can I Stream PPV Events on FireStick for a Cheaper Price?

There are multiple factors affecting the cost of PPV events in general. They depend on the players participating, their reputations, the location of the event, and more.

For example, if the PPV match is being held in the US, chances are, the UK subscribers will have a cheaper price to air a PPV fight. The same goes for when the situation is vice versa.

Being someone from the US, you can’t simply access apps and services from the UK. However, with a neat VPN trick, you can change your IP location to the UK, buy the PPV fight and watch it on FireStick for a less price (more explanation on that later).

I cover these steps in every high-profile PPV post. Don’t forget to check it out from the home page.

Attention, FireStick Users!

Governments and ISPs constantly monitor your online activity, and accessing copyrighted content on your Fire TV Stick could lead to serious trouble. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. I strongly recommend getting the best FireStick VPN to mask your IP address and securely stream your favorites.

I personally use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN available. Not only is it easy to install on any device, it comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee. Plus, if you're not 100% satisfied, you can always get a refund. ExpressVPN is currently also offering a whopping 3 extra months free on their annual plan!

Here are reasons why using a VPN at all times is essential.

Steps to Do Before Buying Pay-Per-View Event

When you are trying to watch PPV without cable, you need to take some steps before enabling PPV events on FireStick. You can’t simply call your cable operator, purchase the event, and expects to tune in right before the start time.

You need to make sure that the relevant app is installed on FireStick in the first place. Most apps do offer native apps from the Amazon App Store, so it will hardly take a minute or two to install such apps on FireStick.

You should also buy the PPV event from the company website. Only then, it will appear under your account on FireStick. Some apps like FITE TV offer direct purchase offerings from the FireStick app itself. While apps like Showtime ask you to pay for PPV from the website first.

Finally, make sure you have a working internet connection (at least in double-digit) to stream the PPV event without any issue on FireStick.

First, I will start the list with apps and services officially available in the US. And then, I will discuss a couple of options for the UK audience to stream PPV on FireStick.

Don’t worry though, in the following section, I will show how to watch PPV fight on your Firestick from anywhere in the world.

1. Showtime

Showtime is the home of high-profile TV shows such as Billions, Dexter, Shameless, Suits, The Affair, Vice, and more. It’s a known name among US households. The company also streams some of the high-profile PPV events such as Paul vs Woodley, Davis vs Cruz, and more.

Showtime subscription starts at $10.99 per month. PPV events are priced based on different factors that I discussed above.

In most cases, you are looking to pay $59.99 or $74.99 for a PPV event on Showtime. Of course, you would need Showtime official app on FireStick, which you can download using the guide below.

2. ESPN+

Disney-owned ESPN+ also houses some of the PPV events throughout the year. If the upcoming much-talked fight is streaming on ESPN+, chances are, it might land up under the PPV bracket.

ESPN+ has native apps available on all platforms and the company has bundled the subscription with Hulu as well.

The normal subscription starts at $6.99 per month or $69.99 a year.

3. FITE TV

Events like AEW PPV events often end up on FITE TV in the US. It is also an ideal option for those living in Canada and the UK. FITE TV usually has big fights (such as Paul vs Woodley 2) outside the US region.

The company has a native app available on the Amazon App Store. And the good news is, you have an option to purchase the fight directly from the app on FireStick. It all adds up to a seamless experience without juggling between devices to get the job done.

4. DAZN

How can we leave DAZN from the list? While DAZN mostly offers fights as a part of a monthly subscription package, some are reserved for PPV events.

DAZN has the widest reachability in the world. The service is available in more than 205 countries around the world. The content and subscription price do vary though.

In the US, DAZN is priced at $19.99 a month or $99.99 a year.

5. Sky Sports

Sky Sports is a major name in the UK. The Sky network has good fights under their belt to distribute as PPV. The company’s Sky Go app isn’t officially available from the App Store though and the web version via Amazon Silk browser is just awful.

Those interested in watching PPV on FireStick can tune in with Now TV app. The service has support for all Sky Sports channels and once you purchase the PPV fight from the Sky Sports website, the event will reflect under your account in the Now TV app.

Now TV subscription starts at £33.99 per month and it houses all Sky Sports channels.

6. BT Sport

BT Sports is the prime rival to Sky Sports in the UK. Unfortunately, the service isn’t officially available from the Amazon App Store. You either have to sideload the Android app on FireStick or rely on the Amazon Slik browser to stream the PPV fight on BT Sport web.

Considering FireStick’s popularity, I hope to see native app support from BT Sport soon.

How to Watch PPV on FireStick from Anywhere

There can be times when the upcoming PPV fight is limited to selected regions such as the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia only. Maybe you are traveling or simply residing in another region and want to watch the PPV on FireStick. There is no official way but with a VPN trick, you can easily do so on FireStick.

Subscribe to a VPN service such as ExpressVPN and set it up on FireStick and your computer. Change your IP address and connect to one of the servers from the US or UK.

Now you are all set to access these apps, buy PPV events, and watch them on FireStick, regardless of your current location.

A VPN connection also allows you to establish a private browsing experience on FireStick. No one, including your ISP provider and government, can see your browsing activity on FireStick.

If you have set up ExpressVPN on FireStick, you are all set to enjoy third-party apps and Kodi addons as well. That takes us to the next section.

Kodi Addons

Popular sports Kodi addons have PPV support. First, install the Kodi app on FireStick and then go through my best Kodi addons list to install a couple of options on FireStick.

I have a dedicated installation guide on each Kodi addon. Once you pick your favorite Kodi addon to stream PPV fight on FireStick, you can go through my installation post to integrate Kodi addon with the main Kodi app.

Sports Streaming Websites

Sports streaming websites are ideal for those looking for a last-minute solution to watch PPV on FireStick.

They get the job done but don’t expect a smooth experience compared to official apps. Some websites are filled with ads and trackers that might steal your information.

I will advise you to stick with the best sports streaming websites and browse them using Google Chrome or Silk browser on FireStick.

IPTV Services

IPTV services not only offer PPV fights but also cover the cost with unlimited entertainment. I’m talking about hundreds of live TV channels, movies, on-demand content, and more.

It does come with a monthly price tag but the overall content easily covers up the cost you are paying. Here is my best IPTV services list. Go through them and install your favorite IPTV provider with an IPTV player such as TiviMate, or Flix Player.

Bet on PPV Fights

If you are planning to bet on PPV fights, you can’t go wrong with MyBookie. It has support for all PPV fights, live odds, sports events, and more.

Sign up for MyBookie and start making judgments based on your knowledge about fighter or team.

Wrapping Up

With dozens of streaming services in the market, and high-profile celebrities returning to the ring, the concept of PPV is only going uphill from this point.

I would suggest going with official apps to watch PPV on FireStick. If the mentioned apps aren’t available in your region, don’t think twice and use VPN to remove geo-restrictions. That way, you have an option to stream PPV for a cheaper price as well.

If you are planning to go with unofficial apps, don’t forget to shield your identity with ExpressVPN. How are you planning to stream the upcoming PPV on FireStick? Do you have any questions regarding PPV on FireStick? Don’t hesitate to drop a comment below.
