How to install and use the PAC-12 Kodi addon

If you’re into college football, basketball, soccer, or volleyball, you’re probably already familiar with PAC-12. It used to be pretty easy to stream this channel via Kodi, but now that the PAC-12 Network addon has been taken down, things are a little bit trickier. Don’t worry though, we’ve found a way to watch PAC-12 on Kodi that still works!

Below, we’ll explain how to live stream PAC-12 via Kodi with a fairly simple method. We’ll also walk you through the configuration process and suggest a few other sports addons, just in case you feel like seeing what else is available.

Warning: Kodi should only be used for content to which you have the legal right to access. Neither the Kodi Foundation nor Comparitech advocates the use of Kodi for piracy.

Always use a VPN with Kodi

Every Kodi addon comes with a certain level of risk since a creator could always insert malicious code. However, we can minimize these risks by downloading addons from trusted platforms and using a Virtual Private Network (VPN). As a bonus, VPN encryption helps prevent your service provider from throttling your connection, resulting in higher overall speeds.

Now, every VPN is different, and not all of them are a good choice for streaming. Some might be too slow or lack basic security features. That’s why we recommend NordVPN. This no-logs provider offers some of the fastest speeds around, puts user privacy first, and works with every Kodi addon we’ve tested. It even offers its own apps for Amazon Firestick and Nvidia Shield.

BEST VPN FOR KODI:NordVPN is our #1 choice and its offering up to 60% off at the moment. That’s great, considering it’s fast, reliable, and secure. If you’re still unsure, why not take advantage of NordVPN’s 30-day money-back guarantee to try it risk-free?

How to stream PAC-12 on Kodi

Plenty of streaming services let you watch PAC-12 online. However, only one of these has its own Kodi addon: Sling TV. Additionally, PAC-12 isn’t included in either of Sling’s base subscriptions. Instead, you’ll need the Sports Extra addon, which costs $11 USD per month on top of the standard $35 per month charge.

All signed up? Great, here’s how to stream PAC-12 using the Sling TV Kodi addon:

First, download the Sling TV ZIP file from the developer’s GitHub
Open up Kodi, select Add-ons, then click the box icon
Choose Install from zip file
Navigate to your downloads folder and click on the ZIP file (it should be called something like “plugin.video.sling-Matrix.zip”)
After a moment, you should see a popup letting you know that Sling TV has been installed
Return to Kodi’s main page, right-click the Sling TV addon and choose Settings
Enter your login details, then click the OK button
Finally, open Sling TV and start streaming!

Other great Kodi sports addons

Sling TV has quite a lot of sporting content, but it’s far from the only Kodi addon you can use to stream live sports. Here are a few of our other favorites:

Pluto.tv

PlutoTV is a free online TV service that offers over 100 channels. Notably, there are more than a dozen devoted to sports, including FOX Sports, CBS Sports, Bellator MMA, NFL Channel, and Major League Soccer. Not bad, considering you don’t have to login or pay a cent!

You’ll find the Pluto.TV addon in the official Kodi repository.

ESPN

The ESPN addon allows users to log in with either a cable provider or an ESPN+ account. There’s a huge amount of sport here, both live and on-demand, so you’re unlikely to run out of things to watch.

The ESPN addon for Kodi can be installed from the SlyGuy repository.

Plex Live

Plex Live is similar to Pluto.TV in that it’s a free-to-watch IPTV addon with plenty of sports channels. There are whole channels dedicated to poker, surfing, MMA, sporting news, and more. In fact, this addon even offers beIN Sports XTRA, which shows everything from fights to Speedway races.

Plex Live is available from the SlyGuy repo.

Sport-specific addons

In the mood to watch something specific? No problem! Below, you’ll find a quick explainer of which addons are best for your favorite sport. Remember that Kodi works on almost any device you can think of, so if it’s easier, you can stream sports on your phone, Firestick, Xbox, Smart TV, or PC.
