FatSaver researched Fanatiz in August 2026 to answer one question: is it actually worth paying for if you’re trying to watch South American soccer, and specifically Copa Libertadores, without a cable package? Here’s what we found.
What is Fanatiz
Fanatiz is a sports streaming service built around South American soccer. Instead of bundling a few Latin American channels into a giant cable package, it sells direct access to specific leagues and tournaments, including the Copa Libertadores, several national first divisions, and a handful of European leagues, so cord-cutters and expats can watch the teams they actually follow.
Plans and pricing
Pricing and promotions change fairly often, so treat these as a starting point and confirm current pricing on Fanatiz before you subscribe.
| Plan | What it includes | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Freemium | A handful of free live channels (including beIN Sports Xtra) plus highlights and stats | Free |
| Front Row (monthly) | Full access to Fanatiz’s soccer and multi-sport lineup | Around $9.99/month |
| Front Row (annual) | Same as monthly, billed once a year | Around $79.99/year |
| League-specific plans (e.g. AFA Play, L1 MAX Full) | Access to a single league or federation’s matches only | Roughly $6 to $10/month |
| Pay-per-view | A single match, no subscription required | Priced per event |
New subscribers typically get a short free trial before the first charge, so it’s worth confirming the trial length and cancellation terms on Fanatiz’s own pricing page before entering payment details.
Leagues and sports covered
Fanatiz’s lineup leans heavily South American, with some European and North American coverage mixed in:
- Copa Libertadores and other CONMEBOL club competitions
- Argentine Primera División (AFA)
- Brazilian Brasileirão
- Liga MX and Liga MX Femenil
- Select European leagues, including matches from Ligue 1, the Bundesliga, and Portugal’s Primeira Liga
- Additional sports coverage: boxing, motorsports, and handball
Coverage varies by plan, so if you only care about one league, check that league’s specific plan rather than assuming the general Front Row plan carries everything.
Supported devices
Fanatiz works on the usual streaming hardware: Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast with Google TV, Android TV, Apple TV, the iOS and Android apps, and any web browser on a computer. There’s no native Samsung Tizen (Samsung Smart TV) app, so Samsung TV owners will need a Roku, Fire TV, or similar external device to watch on the big screen.
Who it’s for
Fanatiz makes the most sense for expats and soccer fans in the US and Canada who follow a South American club or league and don’t want a full cable package just to watch it. It’s a weaker fit if your main interest is a major European league Fanatiz doesn’t carry, since you’d be paying for coverage you won’t use.
- Direct access to leagues most US cable packages skip entirely
- League-specific plans let you pay for only what you watch
- Cheaper than most cable sports packages
- Free tier available before you commit to paying
- No native Samsung Smart TV app
- League-specific plans only cover that one league
- Limited value if you mainly follow leagues outside its lineup
How to get started
- Go to Fanatiz and check that the league or team you follow is actually in its current lineup.
- Pick a plan: the general Front Row plan for broad access, or a league-specific plan if you only follow one competition.
- Sign up and confirm the trial and cancellation terms before your first billing date.
- Install the app on your streaming device or watch straight from a browser.
