enjoyable experience and constant frustration. In this updated guide, we’ve reviewed the leading football-focused apps in the UK, focusing on usability, live features, in-play tools, coverage, and security — all tested first-hand on both iOS and Android.
Our goal here is simple: to help you choose the app that suits your football-following style, whether you enjoy following match stats, watching live streams, or exploring in-depth competition coverage.
Top 5 Football Betting Apps
1 - Bet Fred App - Simplest App To Use
User Interface: Straightforward navigation with a clean, familiar layout for UK football fans.
Live Features: Covers key matches with match visualisation tools and selected live streams. We found it lacks the number of live streams as other apps.
- Standout: Strong integration of match stats and quick links to popular football competitions. Opening the app and finding a match was seamless.
Testing Result: Reliable performance during high-traffic fixtures with minimal loading delays.
2 - Bet365 App - Best For Live Features & Streaming
Interface: Clean design with clear match navigation.
Live Features: Broad live streaming library covering top leagues and niche competitions.
Standout: Depth of in-play stats and rapid refresh rates.
Testing Result: It was generally stable under high-traffic nights, such as the Champions League. We found it occasionally struggled just before the 3 PM kick-offs on a Saturday.
Ranked 3 - Bet Victor App
- Best for football bet builders, in our opinion – Based on the amount of games offered, markets per game, speed, simplicity of bet placement and speed of price.
- Boosts: We found daily bet boosts and enhanced accas on the most popular matches of the day in the football hub.
- Trending bets: We found all the trending bets from the home page. We are not sure if this is a good thing or not – it’s not the best to just follow what others are betting.
- Responsible gambling: The app offered a good selection of options, and we found these to be easy to access and activate.
Interface: Streamlined layout with quick event search.
Live Features: Limited streaming but strong in-play data.
Standout: Highly customisable multi-match view.
Testing Result: Quick league switching during testing.
Ranked 4 - Betway App
Interface: We found it slightly overwhelming with the offers being pushed too much and taking up too much screen space.
Live Features: Live in play betting was good, but there was a lack of streaming of matches.
Standout: Nothing really stood out to us; the bet builder was at a good standard.
Testing Result: Works fine most of the time, can occasionally crash, although this did not seem to be related to the number of matches that were being played.
Ranked 5 - Betfair App
Interface: Feature-dense, aimed at experienced users. The exchange app is focused on more serious bettors.
Live Features: Broad streaming, extensive markets.
Standout: Data-rich interface for deep analysis.
Testing Result: Handles multiple live matches without slowing.
