DIRECTV rolls out customizable multiview for sports fans
Viewers using select devices can now construct their own sports quadbox with a DIRECTV subscription.
DIRECTV doesn’t want its subscribers stuck watching sports they aren’t interested in when using its multiview feature. That’s why the company has announced the launch of a customizable multiview feature that allows customers to build their quadbox and stream up to four live sporting events of their choosing at once — a propitiously timed launch with the NFL and college football seasons in full swing, the World Series coming soon, and the start of the 2026 NBA season just around the corner.
Key Details:
- You choose: DIRECTV has announced the launch of a Build Your Own Multiview.
- Which devices?: Customizable multiview is launching first on DIRECTV’s Gemini, as well as Roku devices.
- Just sports: Fans can build a multiview using events on multiple cable sports networks.
The new Build Your Own Multiview feature from DIRECTV is a follow-up to the curated multiview feature that launched in August. It allows DIRECTV subscribers across all Signature packages and Genre Packs to choose sporting events from up to four different cable sports channels to watch at one time.
Viewers simply need to turn on the first game of their choice, then build their multiview from the DIRECTV interface. Customers can currently choose any game or events airing on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, FS1, NFL Network, NBA TV, MLB Network, NHL Network, CBS Sports Network, Golf Channel, Tennis Channel, ACC Network, Big Ten Network, and SEC Network.
In addition, participating local broadcast and national networks will be available to add to the multiview specifically when they are carrying eligible live sporting events. DIRECTV did not specify what networks are currently participating, or what events are considered eligible, but The Streamable has reached out for clarification and will update this article when we receive further details.
“DIRECTV has been at the forefront of Multiview innovation for nearly two decades, and we continue to evolve the experience around how fans want to watch,” DIRECTV executive Vikash Sharma said. “Giving fans the ability to build their own lineup is the next step, offering even more choice and control over how they follow the games that matter most to them.”
The new customizable multiview from DIRECTV is only available on a selection of devices, including DIRECTV’s Gemini and Roku streaming players. Android TV and Google TV devices, Fire TV, VIZIO, LG, Apple TV, and Samsung Tizen TVs will all support customizable multiview in the months to come.
