Sports OTT streaming service DAZN announced a new MultiView feature that lets subscribers watch up to four live or on-demand events at the same time on one screen. The split-screen viewing feature is only available on fourth and fifth generation Apple TV devices.
Users can activate the feature using an Apple TV remote. MultiView is available to DAZN subscribers in the U.S., Canada, Japan, Italy, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The feature will also be available in Spain and Brazil once DAZN launches in those countries later this year.
“The new ‘MultiView’ function will enhance the way fans watch sports,” said Richard Giannetti, DAZN Senior Product Manager, in a press release. “There are many concurrent live fixtures on the DAZN platform and giving fans the freedom to watch multiple events at once in an immersive way was a natural improvement for the product.”

DAZN’s new split-screen viewing feature comes a few weeks after ESPN+, DAZN’s chief U.S.-based streaming competitor, also revealed new viewing features to its own platform. DAZN is currently the only one of the two to offer a multi-viewing experience, but ESPN+ has introduced a virtual reality option and a recommended viewing section.
