Multiview now available for MLS Season Pass and “Friday Night Baseball” on Apple TV 4K

Today, Apple launched the multiview feature on Apple TV 4K, allowing sports fans the ability to watch up to four simultaneous streams, including Major League Soccer matches, “Friday Night Baseball” games, and select MLS and MLB live shows.¹

With this entirely customisable new multiview experience in the Apple TV app on Apple TV 4K, users can see the available live games displayed at the bottom of their screen, choose the ones they want to watch and toggle between multiple layout options. Fans can also choose to display one match more prominently, or watch two to four matches in a split-screen view. Users can also control audio preferences, including the home radio feed for MLS Season Pass, and home and away radio for “Friday Night Baseball”. If a user wants to stop watching in multiview, they can quickly switch to full screen with one click.

In addition to MLS matches and “Friday Night Baseball” games, fans can also choose to watch the live MLS and MLB studio shows — MLS 360 and MLB Big Inning — to enjoy all the exciting, in-depth coverage in multiview.

1. Multiview is available on Apple TV 4K with tvOS 16.5 or later.
