Visual red flags detected in the screenshot
This website functions as a sports streaming aggregator, a category frequently associated with aggressive malvertising and deceptive redirect patterns.
What our vision model saw
4 signalsSite provides unauthorized access to live sports streams, a common vector for malicious advertising and phishing
High density of navigational links typical of ad-supported streaming aggregation sites
Unprofessional, dated aesthetic often associated with high-risk streaming portals
Presence of 'Disqus this' link suggests third-party comment integration frequently used to host spam or malicious links
Intelligence
The site presents itself as a free live sports streaming portal offering football matches through multiple links. Three independent sources explicitly identify it as an unauthorized mirror of the original FirstRowSports brand, which has a history of domain changes after shutdowns. Scam Detector assigns a 31.9 trust score citing phishing and spamming activity. AppQuipo and Avaide both warn that mirror sites in this family expose users to malware through aggressive advertising. The page loads external domains including snbets.com, consistent with the documented pattern of directing traffic toward betting platforms. No legitimate business registration exists for the operation.

Safety FAQ
Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- firstsrowsports.tv is a dangerous scam site — avoid interacting with it. Our review tagged it for clone site. The domain is 9.8 years old through Gransy, s.r.o.. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
- No — firstsrowsports.tv scored just 6/100 on our trust scale, and we detected active threat indicators. We recommend avoiding it entirely: don't log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
- If you've already paid or handed over details on firstsrowsports.tv, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on firstsrowsports.tv and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
- Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
- Just viewing a scam page is usually low-risk on an up-to-date browser — the real danger is what it asks you to DO (enter details, download a file, send money). If you downloaded anything, run a full antivirus scan and treat the file as untrusted. If you entered a password or card number, change the password everywhere you reused it and contact your bank.
- You can report firstsrowsports.tv through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
- Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
- No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report firstsrowsports.tv as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
- No — firstsrowsports.tv is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
- firstsrowsports.tv is 9.8 years old, registered on October 24, 2016 through Gransy, s.r.o.. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
- firstsrowsports.tv resolves to an IP operated by FIBER TELECOM s.r.o. in CZ (Fixed Line ISP). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
- This report is a record of the scan run on July 24, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about firstsrowsports.tv has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
