Apollo Group is a subscription-based IPTV service that offers live TV, sports, and on-demand content. While Amazon has many apps in the Fire TV App Store, Apollo Group isn’t there. To install it, you need to download its installation file manually and install it yourself. This process is called sideloading, and it allows you to use apps that aren’t officially available in the App Store.
This guide will show you how to install Apollo Group on your Fire TV step by step.

Step 1: Prepare Your Fire TV
Before installing Apollo Group, change a few settings on your Fire TV:
- Enable Apps from Unknown Sources
- On your Fire TV home screen, go to Settings (gear icon).
- Select My Fire TV > Developer options.
- Turn on Apps from Unknown Sources.
- Enable ADB Debugging (if needed)
- While in Developer options, turn on ADB Debugging.
- This allows apps like Downloader to install third-party apps.
After adjusting these settings, your Fire TV is ready for the next step.
Step 2: Install the Downloader App
Since Apollo Group isn’t in the Amazon App Store, you need a way to download and install it manually. Fire TV doesn’t have a built-in web browser for downloading files, so you’ll need an app called Downloader to get the installation file.
Downloader is a free app that lets you enter a web address, download files, and install apps that aren’t in the App Store. You can find it in the Fire TV App Store, so installing it is quick and easy.
How To Install Downloader
- Go to the Fire TV home screen.
- Select the search icon and type “Downloader.”
- Choose the Downloader app from the search results.
- Select the download button and wait for the installation to finish.
- Open Downloader once installed.
- When prompted, allow it to access files on your device.
Once Downloader is installed, you're ready to download the Apollo Group app. The next step will show you how.
Step 3: Download the Apollo Group App
- Open the Downloader app.
- In the URL field, enter 299336 and select “Go.”
- The Apollo Group download page will open.
- Select “Download” and wait for the APK file to finish downloading.
Now that you have Downloader installed, you can use it to get the Apollo Group app. Instead of entering a long web address, Apollo Group provides a quick code that makes downloading easy.
Open Downloader and enter the code 299336 in the URL field. This will take you to the Apollo Group download page. Once you're there, select “Download” and wait for the file to finish downloading. It might take a minute, depending on your internet speed.
When the download is complete, you’ll be ready to install the app.
Step 4: Install the Apollo Group App
- After the download finishes, select “Install.”
- Wait for the installation to complete.
- Select “Done” to return to Downloader or “Open” to launch the app.
- If you selected “Done,” you can delete the APK file from Downloader to save storage.
Once the APK file is downloaded, Fire TV will prompt you to install it. This process works just like installing an app from the App Store, except you're using a file instead.
Select “Install” and wait a few seconds for the installation to complete. When it's done, you can either open the app right away or close the installer. If you go back to Downloader, you'll have the option to delete the APK file. This isn't required, but it can free up space on your device.
Congratulations! Now that Apollo Group is installed, it will appear in your list of apps. You’re ready to log in and start watching!
Now you just need to log in to your Apollo Group account and enjoy the large selection of TV channels.
