Sportsfire not downloading on firestick: How to fix it
As stated already, Sportsfire is a third-party, non-verified free sports streaming platform. Due to this, you won’t find this application on the Google Play Store. And, since you will have to download its .apk file, and then install it, you will have to provide the required permission to the downloader to install the application. How to do all these? We have shared all the details below:
Enable Apps from Unknown Sources
First, start by selecting the Settings option on your Firestick. After this, go to the “My Fire TV” menu (for Fire TV Stick or Fire TV Cube) or the “Device & Software” menu (for Fire TV Smart TV). In this menu, select Developer Options. In this menu, find and select the “Apps from Unknown Sources” option and then enable it. If this is not present, select the “Install unknown apps” menu option and select Downloader. Here, allow that app to install app apks.
Once this is done, open the Downloader application on your Firestick or install it first via the app store. After opening it, you will have to enter the download code to download the .apk file of Sportsfire. There are multiple download codes you can try. Here are some of them:
- 119368
- 28907 (this will take you to a website, through which you will have to download Sportsfire)
- 813764
After entering any one of these download codes, check whether the Sportfire application starts downloading. If yes, then wait for the process to be completed. Once downloaded, you can install the application.
Make sure Google Play Protect is disabled
It is possible that Google Play Protect is enabled for your Firestick, due to which the downloading as well as installation of Sportsfire are halted. So, first, disable this setting, and then check if the download takes place.
Use a VPN
It is possible that your internet connection is to blame for this issue. So, either switch to a different network to check if the issue persists or use a VPN before initiating the download. Also, Sportsfire is limited to a few regions/countries, so if you are trying to access it in a region in which it is not supported, you will need a VPN for the same.
That said, these are the workarounds worth trying to fix the Sportfire not downloading issue on Firestick. We hope that you find this guide informative. If you did, consider visiting Android Gram daily for more such interesting guides.
