Competitors
Fite has a number of competitors in the sports streaming industry. For example, ESPN+ hosts live sports and originals across MLB, NHL, Serie A and more. Furthermore, there are sports packages available with cable cutter packages such as fuboTV and Sling, as channels such as ESPN, TBS and TNT are provided. However, Fite stands out due to its dedication to a niche selection of sports, so some events which may not be available as PPV with other providers are available with Fite. Furthermore, Fite provides an engaged community and news section.
What we liked about Fite
We like that Fite has a strong website, with a recognisable brand. The site is easy to navigate on desktop, and there is no end of events to watch. The schedule feature makes it easy to plan for upcoming events, and it’s easy to stay up to date on the latest news.
What we disliked about Fite
We sometimes found that events were difficult to stream, and were occasionally put off by the price for individual PPV events. The app was a little difficult to use in terms of finding particular events.
Is Fite worth it?
If you are obsessed with wrestling, boxing, MMA or soccer, then Fite is a no-brainer. There is a huge wealth of information and events to stay up to date on with a clearly knowledgeable provider. If you only like one of the sports, the value for money may not be there, but if you are going to regularly use at least 50% of the site’s offering then it is definitely worth at least making use of one of the free trials and giving it a go.
