Crackstreams
Crackstreams was a free sports streaming site, popular in the US for UFC and boxing pay-per-views and NFL, NBA and MLB games, run by the same anonymous operator as Methstreams. It was active by early 2021 and went offline on 30 December 2024; sites using the name since then are copies.

Not the original. The person behind Crackstreams, who also ran Methstreams, switched both sites off on 30 December 2024 with a short note about taking a break from live streaming, and nobody has reported a comeback since. Its last home was crackstreams.in.
The name itself lives on. Dozens of copies picked it up within weeks, and some of them still open today: crackstreams.ms, crackstreams.io and crackstreams.me are among the busiest, with hundreds of thousands to more than a million visits a month. They are run by unknown people with no tie to the old site, and they change domains whenever one gets blocked. The statuses at the top of this page come from our own check, repeated every day, so you can see which addresses respond right now.
A copy that loads is not the same as a stream that holds. Seizures in February 2025 and in June 2026 wiped out whole batches of Crackstreams lookalikes, often on fight night. For tonight's card or game, the services above show it in your country.
What Happened to Crackstreams
- Reddit banned r/nbastreams on 17 June 2019, after r/soccerstreams in January and r/mmastreams in May, and fans moved to standalone streaming sites and Discord.
- Distractify reported that Crackstreams, described as the biggest hub for MMA events, kept going down, months after UFC president Dana White promised action against illegal streamers around UFC 257.
- The Premier League listed crackstreams.me, which had 8.6 million visitors in September to November 2023 according to SimilarWeb, in a US DMCA subpoena request to Cloudflare.
- ACE took over 138 domains from a Hanoi-based piracy network with 812 million yearly visits, including copycat domains crackstreams.dev, crackstreams.biz, crackstreams.club and thecrackstreams.to.
- On 30 December Crackstreams, then at crackstreams.in, and sister site Methstreams went offline with a message from their operator saying they were taking a break from live streaming.
- During the Super Bowl, Homeland Security Investigations seized at least 40 sports streaming domains, including the copies crackstream.buzz and crackstreamss.biz.
- A follow-up US seizure round took down more than 200 sports streaming domains, including mycrackstreams.com, rcrackstreams.app and crackedstreams.app.
- The US 'Operation Offsides' World Cup crackdown, announced on 26 June, seized more than 1,000 domains in three waves, including icrackstreams.app, ecrackstreams.com and ccrackstreams.lat.
Is Crackstreams Safe?
There's no guarantee, and usually it isn't. Every Crackstreams copy is run by someone you can't identify, and the only way they earn money is from whatever their ad networks load around the player. Nobody checks those ads, so you get whatever pays.
On a good day that means a page that keeps fighting you:
- pop-ups and new tabs every time you press play or close a box
- fake play and download buttons layered over the real stream
- prompts to install a "player", an extension or an app you never asked for
- adult ads and dating pop-ups that open on their own
On a bad day it costs real money or data. Some copies push malware through those downloads, ask you to allow notifications that later fill your phone with scam alerts, or show a "verify your age to unlock HD" form that collects card details or even a passport or ID photo. If you've already handed something over, cancel the card with your bank, remove the extension or app, block the site's notifications and change any password you typed there.
Same fights and games, without the risk: a streaming service or a betting site.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Crackstreams?
Crackstreams was a free live sports streaming site, a favorite of American fans for UFC cards, boxing pay-per-views and NFL and NBA games, with MLB and football streams too. It was run anonymously by the same person behind Methstreams, who talked to users through a Discord server with more than 80,000 members. By 2021 Distractify called it the biggest hub for MMA events, and in late 2023 one of its addresses drew about 8.6 million visitors in three months. After a domain was locked in December 2024, the site moved to crackstreams.in and then shut down on 30 December 2024.
Why does Crackstreams keep going down?
Because every address that uses the name is a target. Rights holders such as the Premier League and the anti-piracy coalition ACE go after the domains, registrars suspend them after court orders, and US authorities seized Crackstreams lookalikes in February 2025 and again in June 2026. The copies then reappear under a new ending, which is why the list of addresses keeps growing.
What is the new Crackstreams address?
There isn't a real one. Since the shutdown, every new domain with the name is somebody else's site, and none of them can show a link to the original team. We list the addresses people search for, with today's status, as plain text, and we don't link to any of them.
Is Crackstreams 2.0 the real Crackstreams?
No. "Crackstreams 2.0" is a label that copy sites and search pages use to look like a continuation. No source connects any of them to the person who ran the original, and they carry the same pop-ups and fake buttons as every other lookalike.
Is Crackstreams the same as Methstreams?
They were sister sites with one operator, and they went dark together on 30 December 2024. Methstreams had the same mix of NFL, NBA, UFC and boxing. Today both names are used by unrelated copies. See Methstreams for its own story and current addresses.
Is there a Crackstreams app?
The original never had one in the App Store or Google Play. Files and apps sold or shared as "Crackstreams" come from strangers and are a common way to slip malware onto a phone or TV box. The streaming services and betting sites at the top of this page all have their own apps.
Where can I watch UFC and boxing fights instead?
Where can I watch the NFL and NBA without Crackstreams?
Does a VPN make Crackstreams safe?
No. A VPN hides your connection from your internet provider, but it can't stop a copy from loading pop-ups, fake downloads or a card form. Where a VPN does help is with real services: keeping your home sports app working while you travel, or opening one from another country.
What else do people call Crackstreams?
People search for it as crack streams, crackstream, crack stream, cracked streams and crackedstreams, with typos like cracksreams and craclstreams, and by addresses such as crackstreams.ms and crackstreams.me. They all lead to the same copies.
