So, I've used different sites like soccerbite or nflbite but I spend half the game trying to find a stream that doesn't freeze every 5 seconds and require a browser reload. Is there anything as sophisticated as the *arr suite for live sports? I'm assuming an iptv set up is the solve but I don't know where to start looking there and if I can integrate it into my system or if it lives in isolation.

I typically use sportsurge.net

It's a game of whack a mole. Either you hop between streams, or you pay someone a nominal fee to do that for you.

In particular, I've noticed many streams that stop working towards the end. Eg with 24 hour Le Mans, I was able to watch a stream up until the last couple hours, after which all the streams I had available stopped working.

Sportsurge is usually pretty good. I pretty much only watch hockey and primarily go to onhockey.tv these days. Never had a stream go down mid game there, and they usually have multiple options for home and away.

Wish Ace Stream saw more recognition, it really is awesome - high quality, P2P (based on bittorrent), pretty robust and mostly no freezing/buffering (provided enough peers) and far superior to web site streaming coz there's no stupid ads to interrupt (even with adblockers there's always some javascript nonsense).

I used Ace stream torrents for the longest time, especially for international sports like cricket and rugby. But then it seemed like all the link providers got taken down :(

A paid (but comparatively quite cheap) IPTV provider

Live sports is all about IPTV. Just need to try a few out and see what works for you. And don't pay for more than a month at a time, unless you're willing to gamble. Luckily these providers are pretty cheap.
