So yesterday I suddenly realized Chelsea’s preseason match against Servette FC was happening today, and man, I panicked. I’m a huge Blues fan, missed some games last season, didn’t wanna miss this one. Problem is, I wasn’t sure where the heck to even watch it. Is it on regular TV? Some weird streaming service? I had no clue where to start.
First thing I did? Texted my buddy Dave. He’s usually got the lowdown on this stuff. But he just texted back “🤷♂️ dunno mate”. Useless! Okay, deep breaths. Figured I gotta figure this out myself.
Jumped onto my laptop. Typed stuff like “watch Servette FC Chelsea live” and “where to stream”. Big mistake. Total waste of time. Got flooded with garbage sites, sketchy betting ads, or articles talking about the next season already. Felt like banging my head against the desk. Seriously frustrating. Why is finding a simple football stream so hard these days?
Took a break, grabbed a coffee. Remembered seeing my cousin use an app specifically for sports. Was it ESPN? Or something else? Started searching the app store. Got sidetracked. So many options! Installed a couple promising ones, signed up… only to find out they didn’t even show this specific preseason friendly. Nearly threw my phone. Almost gave up.
Then, I thought back. Saw someone mention a service maybe? Scrolled through my Twitter feed real quick. Saw a random tweet about preseason football apps. Mentioned two names. Bingo!
Fired up the app store again. Looked for the first app people kept talking about. Here’s what actually worked:
- App Name #1: This one actually had the game listed! Saw it right there in the schedule. Did a quick free trial sign-up (careful, gotta cancel later!). Quality was decent, stable connection too. Could watch on my TV using the casting thing. Relief!
- App Name #2: Checked this one just in case. Also listed the match. Stream was reliable, picture was crisp. Liked the interface better on my phone, honestly. Their mobile app felt smoother.
Set an alarm so I wouldn’t forget to cancel the free trials later (learned that lesson the hard way once!). Made sure both apps were loaded and ready to go before kickoff. Phone charged. Snacks ready.
Bottom line? Don’t be like me at first. Don’t just randomly search or ask clueless mates. Wasted half an hour easy. If you wanna catch smaller club games like Chelsea playing Servette, preseason especially, you need the specific apps that bother showing them.
