FuboTV, a sports-focused live TV streaming service, is expanding its Multiview mode on Apple TV to support its FanView feature.
Starting today, subscribers on Apple TV devices can create their own sports viewing dashboard that combines multiple streams with live stats and scores via FanView). Subscribers can watch up to two live sporting events simultaneously while also placing different FanView widgets alongside each video player. Options include statistics of each live game being viewed and scores from games across all leagues. Subscribers can also navigate through live scores and go directly into a selected game.
The updated Multiview feature is currently available for select fuboTV subscribers and will be rolled out to everyone in the coming days. The company said fans who want to continue watching up to four channels in Multiview mode don’t have to enable the feature.

“In our mission to integrate interactivity into fuboTV’s live TV streaming experience, our team has been focused on launching products that enable consumers to engage with what’s on the screen in ways they never have before,” said Mike Berkley, chief product officer at fuboTV, in a statement. “Live sports in particular perfectly lends itself to enhanced viewing experiences. We know our subscribers want to keep track of multiple games and leagues, and they want to engage with what they’re watching. That’s why we’re thrilled to bring a new iteration of our very popular Multiview feature for Apple TV that lets them watch multiple games at once alongside FanView’s real-time scores and stats. We believe this is the most personalized and customized TV viewing experience available in the market.”
The new interactive features fit with fuboTV’s plans around sports wagering. The company recently launched free-to-play games that allow subscribers to answer predictive questions alongside select professional and college sports, play for points and win prizes. In early November, the company introduced real-money wagering with Fubo Sportsbook, an app that syncs with the live TV streaming experience on fuboTV. Fubo Sportsbook is currently available in Iowa and Arizona with additional states to follow pending regulatory approvals.
