Livestream is among those addons on Kodi that offer anything and everything including sports channels. You would find live sports channels mostly from Europe and of course, the US. You have access to 9 sports channels including Sportal HD, Park City Television and more. Having said that, keep in mind, Livestream does not have the best reliability as some channels work and some don’t.

Not to mention, you can follow the channels which make it easier for you to navigate and manage the score of live TV channels.

Best Kodi Addons for Kids, Cartoons & Anime
10. South Park
Earlier, there was a Cartoon Network addon for watching Cartoons on Kodi, but it has been deprecated. So now, we are left with very little cartoon content on Kodi. Among the few good ones out there, South Park is one. As the name suggests, South Park is a Kodi addon where you can watch all the episodes of South Park for free.
Of late, the show has garnered immense appreciation for its cartoon characters and storyline. You would definitely love the show for both its seriousness and funny acts. The best part about this addon is that all the seasons and episodes are categorized neatly and you can watch them without any buffering issues.
- Install South Park from Kodi’s official repository

Don’t worry, all the anime content and Japanese cartoons come with hardcoded English subtitles so that is great.

Spotify is undeniably among the most popular music streaming platforms and while there’s no official support for Kodi yet, you can utilize an unofficial route to get Spotify running on your Kodi machine. You need to use a third-party repository and from there you can easily install the Spotify addon for Kodi.
The best bit is that you can log in with your Spotify credentials and get all your music library on Kodi. Apart from that, it supports background music and local syncing with Kod’s library. All in all, Spotify is hands-down the best Kodi addon for streaming music.

- Compatible with Kodi 18 Leia (currently at Kodi 18.7 Leia) and older versions including Kodi 17 Jarvis.
13. SoundCloud
In case you are unaware, SoundCloud is officially available on Kodi and you can play a large number of music tracks without any issues. As we all know, SoundCloud is one of the oldest popular platforms for sharing music so you get top-notch songs from both new and well-established artists.
Since SoundCloud is more about the indie scene, you can listen to new songs from fresh voices. I would say, more than streaming music, SoundCloud is about discovering new sounds and genres. So go ahead and install SoundCloud on your Kodi to enjoy music streaming.
- Install SoundCloud from Kodi’s official repository
- Compatible with Kodi 18 Leia (currently at Kodi 18.7 Leia) and older versions including Kodi 17 Jarvis.
14. Radio
If you are someone who listens to lots of music through radio then this Kodi addon is for you. Aptly named, Radio offers thousands of radio stations on Kodi, be it local or international. You can search for stations, listen to them in the background, and also save them stations for later reference.
Other than that, radio stations are categorized into several labels including genre, country, and language. To sum it up, Radio is one of the best Kodi addons for streaming music from all over the world and you should definitely give it a try.
- Install Radio from Kodi’s official repository

Best Multipurpose Kodi Addons
15. Exodus
If you want a multipurpose Kodi addon for streaming movies, TV shows, viewing local videos, images, and also for maintenance tasks then Exodus is outrightly the best. You can browse through the available content or search for something specific. Both movies and TV shows have been clearly listed in the form of sections based on their genre, language, production studio, and also on the basis of their popularity.
Once you select a specific episode or movie to watch, Exodus enlists all online sources and you can stream thereafter. Apart from that, what I like about Exodus is that it puts reliable servers on the top which works most of the time. To conclude, Exodus is an all-around Kodi addon and you can use it for multiple things.
- Install Exodus
- Compatible with Kodi 18 Leia (currently at Kodi 18.7 Leia) and older versions including Kodi 17 Jarvis.
16. The Magic Dragon
Magic Dragon is yet another multipurpose Kodi addon that offers online video streaming but goes way beyond just movies and TV shows.

Magic Dragon’s interface might not be very user-friendly, but you can access past TV episodes using its built-in DVR feature.
Other than that, you can stream the latest movies, including support for direct playback from torrents. The distinctive part about this addon is that it has a variety of 3D and VR-friendly content and all you need is a headset to enjoy these movies or videos. To sum up, Magic Dragon is a powerful Kodi addon for video content and you can’t give it a miss.

It has got tons of movies and shows under its library and many believe that it provides the best user experience on Kodi because of no buffering issues. The content is properly categorized and you can sort the library based on trending movies, actors, recently updated movies, genres, etc.
It also scraps metadata, movie banners and subtitles from the web so that everything is ready before you watch a movie. All in all, Seren ranks among the top Kodi addons and you should definitely check it out for its vast library.
