REVIEW
Kozoom TV brings cue sports to the living room, finally.
The billiards-only streaming network nobody outside the carom world has heard of arrives on Fire TV, and it is exactly what fans of three-cushion and pool have been asking for.

Three-cushion billiards is one of those sports that has a world championship, a circuit, a small handful of household names inside its own world, and almost no presence in the broader sports-media universe. For two decades, watching it has meant a desktop browser, a paid Kozoom account, and a willingness to keep the laptop balanced on the coffee table.
Kozoom TV on Fire TV is the first time the network’s catalogue has felt like television. The live feeds, the archive, and the multi-language commentary all sit behind a remote control instead of behind a Chromecast tab. For the audience this app is built for, that is the entire point.
It will not convert anybody. It is not trying to.
If you already know what three-cushion is, Kozoom is the only app on Fire TV that takes the sport seriously.
FEATURES
Kozoom TV is the Fire TV front end for Kozoom's billiards streaming service — the de facto broadcaster of professional carom (three-cushion, one-cushion, balkline) and a steady source of pool coverage. The app fronts the live event schedule, the on-demand archive of past tournaments, and the network's produced shows. Sign-in is tied to a Kozoom subscription, which the developer sells in monthly and annual tiers off-device; the app itself is a free download and a player.
Navigation is straightforward in the Fire TV idiom: a top-level row of Live, Upcoming, Replays, and a sport filter that splits carom variants from pool. Streams play in adaptive bitrate up to 1080p when the source allows it, which on three-cushion world-cup feeds is consistent and on smaller regional tournaments is not. Commentary is multilingual on the bigger events — French, Spanish, Korean, English — chosen at playback. There is a basic resume function and Alexa voice search for tournament names.
The archive is the quiet selling point. Kozoom has been recording carom tournaments since the mid-2000s, and a meaningful slice of that library is browsable here by year and by event.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
The app does the one job it has to do — it makes Kozoom watchable on a television, with a remote, without screen-mirroring from a phone. For anyone who has tried to follow a Sang Lee International or a Crystal Kelly final by chromecasting a desktop browser, that is a meaningful upgrade.
Stream quality on the headline events is reliable. The 1080p carom feeds with Frédéric Caudron at the table look the way they should look, the table-cam framing is steady, and the multi-language audio tracks switch without buffering. For a niche sport that has historically been served by patchy YouTube uploads and unofficial restreams, having a single authoritative app on a major TV platform is overdue.
ROOM TO IMPROVE
Discovery inside the app is thin. There is no editorialised "what to watch tonight" surface and no recommendation logic beyond recency, so a new viewer landing on the home screen sees a flat list of tournaments and has to know which ones matter. A short curated row — "this week's finals", "classic Caudron matches" — would close the gap between fans and curious newcomers.
Pool coverage is uneven. The 9-ball and 10-ball events Kozoom carries are real, but Matchroom's flagship pool properties live elsewhere, and the app does not make clear what is and is not on the platform before you subscribe. The subscription itself is also priced for hardcore fans rather than casual viewers, which is honest but limits the on-ramp.
CONCLUSION
Kozoom TV is the right app for an audience that already exists and was previously underserved on the big screen. If you have ever set an alarm for a Sang Lee final or argued about Jaspers versus Caudron, install it without thinking. If you have not, the trial will tell you in an evening whether the sport is for you — and that is exactly the question the app needs to answer.
