Let's face it: more is better. When it comes to following your favorite sports, it's a bummer to have to pick just one game to watch when there are several happening at the same time. Multiview has been available since 2023 on Apple TV, debuting on MLS Season Pass and Friday Night Baseball. Today,ย motor racing enthusiasts, as well as fans of both pro baseball and soccer, can turn to Apple TV to watch up to four live streams at once with its multiview feature. You just need the right hardware to do so, and to know where to look to access the multistream tool.

To use the multiview feature in the Apple TV app, you'll need an Apple TV streaming box. More specifically, you'll need an Apple TV 4K, but any generation of that model will work. There are three, with the most recent coming in 2022 . Since that third-gen device is running the older A15 Bionic chip, recent reports suggest that Apple may be preparing an update soon .

Once you have an Apple TV 4K and your Apple TV streaming subscription all hooked up, you're ready to watch sports with multiview. There are currently only three sports that support the feature though: MLB baseball, MLS soccer and Formula 1 racing.

MLB baseball events are the most limited of the three on Apple TV because the company only streams games on Friday nights. Most weeks there are two, and they tend to overlap enough that you can watch both with multiview. Unfortunately, you just get a main feed for each one with no alternate angles or dedicated cameras to augment the viewing experience. Apple does give you the option to listen to either the Home or Away team's radio broadcast instead of the company's own commentators though. Plus, there's the MLB Big Inning studio show that can be added to multiview for simultaneous analysis.

MLS soccer is the most readily available sports action on Apple TV. Initially, MLS Season Pass was a standalone subscription, but Apple rolled it into the main Apple TV streaming plan in 2026. This means that Apple TV subscribers get all MLS soccer games with no blackouts with their $12.99 monthly payment. With multiview, you can watch up to four games at once, or you can select the MLS 360 studio show alongside live game feeds.

The most recent addition to Apple TV's sports portfolio is Formula 1 . Apple took over broadcast rights in the US at the start of the 2026 season, piping in the F1 TV streams and Sky Sports feed for each grand prix. Like F1 TV, Apple TV offers alternate feeds โ€” driver cameras being the main ones โ€” in addition to live timing and track maps. This allows you to watch the main feed and keep a close eye on your favorite driver(s) in multiview. Like MLS, Formula 1 is included in the Apple TV monthly subscription. In addition to the main races, you can also watch practice and qualifying rounds, and during both, multiview is available.

The multiview features on Apple TV 4K work similarly for all sports. However, because MLB baseball is a lot more limited in the number of games/streams available, the method of access is slightly different there. In general, you'll need to select one stream you'll want in the grouping and the multiview options will appear in the playback controls or in-stream menu. Selecting those will give you the ability to build your multiview from a menu of currently available games and shows. Once again, you'll be able to watch up to four streams simultaneously โ€” with the exception of baseball.

When you're watching an MLB game, a multiview icon will appear on the player controls beside the options for subtitles, alternate audio feeds and picture-in-picture (PiP). Because Apple TV only broadcasts a maximum of two MLB games at once, there will only be three options to build a multiview feed: the two games and Apple's MLB Big Inning studio show.
