About Chronos
Chronos is an excellent all-in-one Kodi addon that offers a ton of different categories. In particular, it has a large streaming sports section, which is one of its best features. Read on for our full installation guide!
Chronos Features
- Lots of high quality sports feeds
- German and Austrian content
- Great interface and search function
What does Chronos do?
Chronos has been around for a while, and it is frequently updated. It’s a little bit unusual compared to other free Kodi addons, but it’s still very good. This addon provides streams from all over the world, but has a special focus on German/Austrian networks. This means that if you are looking for European sports leagues or other programming from that region, Chronos is especially useful. If you speak German it offers that language option.
What’s more, it looks like a lot of the sections are taken from the old Made In Canada addon, so you get Canadian and American sports and network TV as well.
Chronos features the following sections:
- Live TV
- News
- Austria
- Germany
- MLB/UFC/NHL
- Live Sports
- 24/7 (Live Cable)
This sounds like a strange hodgepodge, but it’s very easy to navigate actually. We think it’s particularly useful for live streaming sports, especially football and hockey.
