Sumo is such a fascinating sport and i would love to watch a live event some day. Sadly I live in Germany so a livestream would be a nice alternative.
Does anybody where i can watch live sumo?
Many thanks in advance!

There is a sumo subreddit that is always active. What do you mean by “live” sumo? As it is happening with the time difference and all? NHK used to show the bouts live on their website. I haven’t checked recently because the time difference is too great. So I’ve come to rely on NattoSumo on YouTube. There are others, but I enjoy listening to the Japanese commentators.
You should be able to live stream it outside Japan on the nhk world service app

You should definitely check out /r/sumo.
If you need to do any DIY projects around your home, try to schedule the painting projects during sumo broadcasts. That way you can watch the paint dry between matches and not get bored.
Great timing because the next basho starts on Sunday
NHK World broadcast live on the 1st, 8th and 15th days and also show a highlights package everyday
