YouTube TV is about to change the way we watch live sports

In one of several recent developments aimed at benefiting sports fans, YouTube TV launched a new customizable multi-view feature on Tuesday.

Subscribers can now watch up to four channels on one screen. Starting this fall, users will be able to select any four football games, college or pro, listed on their channels and watch them simultaneously.

Here’s how the new feature looks on screen:

“Today, we’re officially launching a fully customizable multi-view experience on @YouTubeTV,” YouTube CEO Neal Mohan wrote in a post Tuesday to X.

“Our @youtube teams have made one of our most popular features even better. The new multiview builder gives you full control to mix and match live streams (including add-ons like @nfl Sunday Ticket), and create the personalized viewing experience you want.”

Previously, most YouTube TV viewing was limited to a select group of sports and news channels. But as OutKick’s Joe Kinsey noted, the platform often combined WNBA and NFL games, leaving subscribers stuck watching both.

Such problems will no longer be a problem for Joe and others.

Watching four NFL games at once will still require the Sunday Ticket package, which is now only available on YouTube and YouTube TV. College football fans will have it easy, as many marquee games are included in standard packages.

YouTube TV also introduced several smaller, lower-priced packages. Subscribers can now choose the Sports Plan for $64.99 per month, down from the regular plan of $82.99. The Sports Channel includes nearly every channel that carries live sports, including the ESPN, Fox, CBS, ABC, NBC, Big Ten Network, SEC Network, TBS and TNT networks.

For sports fans, YouTube TV is hard to beat, at least if it’s not in the cart conflicts that lead to blackouts.

In fact, the best alternative is to subscribe to the individual streaming platforms that carry live sports. For example, to watch all televised NFL games this season, a viewer can subscribe to the following:

  • FOX ONE/ESPN Unlimited bundle: $39.99 per month
  • Peacock (all NBC shows): $10.99 per month.
  • Paramount+ (all CBS shows): $8.99 per month.

In total, that comes to $59.97 per month, about $5 less than YouTube TV’s sports plan. However, keeping everything in one place provides a level of convenience that a standalone registry can’t match. Also, you don’t get the multi-view option unless you have YouTube TV.

Granted, fans of other sports may need TNT and TBS, which would require HBO Max for an additional $10.99 per month.

Look, watching sports has become confusing and expensive. Anyway, the multiview is small, but a suitable accommodation.
