SonyLiv has once again drawn heavy criticism from football fans after another disappointing UEFA Champions League streaming experience. Despite high anticipation, viewers were met with poor quality and technical glitches throughout the group stage matches.
Fans took to social media in frustration, calling out the platform for buffering issues, lag, and low-resolution streams. Several users even compared SonyLiv’s quality to illegal streaming sites, saying those offer a smoother experience than the official broadcaster.
Many complained that SonyLiv couldn’t even deliver 1080p resolution. Some users reported mismatched commentary audio, making it difficult to follow live gameplay.
Adding to the frustration, fans expressed disappointment with the pre and post-match analysis. One user wrote, “Such a followed tournament #UCL and we get a mediocre panel discussing for Indian audiences at half time.”
Comparisons poured in, with users praising JioHotstar and FanCode for providing better quality football streaming in India. The contrast highlighted SonyLiv’s ongoing struggle to meet expectations despite holding major broadcasting rights.
As the UEFA Champions League continues through the season, fans are demanding immediate improvements. Whether SonyLiv can redeem itself and deliver a better experience in upcoming fixtures remains to be seen.
