Eleven Sports is launching apps on Amazon Fire TV Stick and Android TVs in the UK and Ireland.

Viewers can already watch Eleven Sports on TV via Google Chromecast, and the new apps are now available to download for Amazon Fire TV Stick and Android TVs, with apps for Samsung Smart TVs coming soon.

The user interface for each app is optimised specifically for TV and the action will be available in HD 1080p.


Still an uphill struggle for them to reach a larger audience, though.
I don't think getting onto the fire stick is really going to change things somehow. If you're desperate to watch La Liga i'd imagine you'd have signed up already by now rather than waiting for it to appear on an amazon stick.

I think this is possibly the last throw of the dice, spending money and hoping to get more subscribers

It'd be too difficult to split the network to show raw and smackdown live on the network. WWE have signed new contracts with USA and the big one with FOX for the next few years. As seen with WWE Mainevent they can't black out the network for various countries.

I think BT sport are cutting back on spending and i can't see WWE going to premier sports etc. Unless a move out of nowhere comes like ITV i can't see anything but sky sports
