The Apple TV 4K debuted a long-awaited feature for sports fans this week as a multiview feature arrived on Apple's TV streaming box.
Multiview is available on the latest tvOS 16.5 beta and debuted as part of MLB Friday Night Baseball and MLS Season Pass on Saturday. The feature allows you to watch up to four games at once, so you don't have to choose between what sport you want to watch or what game if there are multiple matches simultaneously.
This is nothing new. However, fans of the NFL have had access to a similar feature for years as part of the NFL Red Zone subscription. And streaming services like Fubo have offered multiview on Apple TV for a while.
The ability to watch two games at once is fantastic for those tight contests where your team's league standings are impacted by other matches going on at the same time. In addition, when watching two games at once with Apple TV's multiview, you can either have both the same size or one larger.
If you're watching four sports simultaneously, the Apple TV 4K can showcase four streams across your television or a primary stream with three smaller options to the right.
The future for Apple Sport is bright
Apple continues to improve its sports offerings with the addition of multiview in tvOS 16.5, and regardless of which sports you follow, it's good news for everyone.
Currently, the multiview experience is available for Apple's own MLS Season Pass and MLB Friday Night Baseball. However, rumors of Apple aiming to stream English Premier League football in the coming years could lead to an improved viewing platform for football fans across the globe.
In the meantime, sign up for Apple TV Plus to access MLB for $6.99 a month or opt for the MLS Season Pass starting from $12.99 a month. Once out of beta, these improvements in iOS 16.5 will make these sports apps some of the best Apple TV apps out there.
