What does The Loop do?
The Loop is an app for Amazon Firestick, Fire TV, and Android devices you can install through the Kodi app. It collects live cable channels from all over the world, mostly related to sports, football, MMA, and PPV.
The Loop is a great way to bypass expensive cable packages and PPV events if you are trying to tune into a live match. There’s not a lot of on-demand content, and it does not seem to have much HD content (only 480p and 720p), but those flaws can be overlooked in our opinion.
With The Loop Kodi addon you will find the following categories:
- CBC Regionals – Canadian CBC local channels
- Fan Zone – Popular sports IPTV channels
- Fight Zone – Special fighting live content
- Game Zone Replay
- Match of the Day
- Match of the Day Two
- NFL Replays
- The History of the World Cup
- Football’s Greatest Moments
- Special Event Replays
- Golf 24/7 – Golf streams
- NBC Sports Regionals – Local NBC channels
- Test Zone – Random links to try
- TV channels
- Sports channels
- 24/7 channels
- M3U Lists
It’s a pretty comprehensive list as you can see, so with alittle searching, you should be able to find the match or fight you are looking for.
