Sky launches Your Multiview on Friday (21 August), letting customers watch up to four live Sky Sports events at the same time on one screen.
The feature arrives with the return of the Premier League and runs on Sky Glass, Sky Stream and Sky Q. Fans can line up four football matches from the Premier League, EFL, SPFL or WSL, or mix sports across football, F1, cricket, tennis, golf, NFL and rugby.
Viewers can spotlight an event to change the on-screen layout, select which event’s audio plays, and switch any of the four to full screen. Sky says the feature is available only on its own platforms.
“There’s more live sport for fans to enjoy than ever, and we want to make it as easy as possible to follow all the action,” said Carli Kerr, MD of Sky TV & NOW.
Kerr pointed to Super Sunday coinciding with a Grand Prix and the final day of a golf Major as the kind of clash the feature is built for.
What it costs
Sky Sports is a £22 per month add-on to a Sky TV plan on Sky Glass and Sky Stream.
Essential TV costs new customers £15 a month on a 24-month contract or £18 a month on a 31-day rolling contract, and Ultimate TV starts at £24 a month, with the price subject to change during its 24-month minimum term.
| TV plan | Contract | TV plan per month | Total with Sky Sports |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential TV | 24 months | £15.00 | £37.00 |
| Essential TV | 31-day rolling | £18.00 | £40.00 |
| Ultimate TV | 24-month minimum term | £24.00 | £46.00 |
Sky Stream needs no satellite dish and no engineer visit.
The puck plugs into an HDMI port and sets up on screen, and Sky offers next-working-day delivery on orders that meet its cut-off times.
What’s else is new
Sky said it will show more than 1,500 matches across the Premier League, Women’s Super League, EFL and Scottish Premiership this season.
Sports Hub puts live scores, stats, league tables, schedules and highlights down the side of the screen during a match, and gives viewers a route into other games, Recap and Multiview without leaving what they are watching.
It runs anytime on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Football, and during selected live matches on other channels.
Clips sits inside Sports Hub as a scrollable, autoplay feed of short sports videos covering news, highlights and key moments.
A refreshed Live Sports Rail shows what is live and what starts next. Real Time, which cuts the delay behind the live action, expands to Sky Sports Football, Sky Sports+ and Sky Sports Premier League on Sky Glass and Sky Stream.
Real Time depends on connection speed, and Sky recommends 40Mbps for it, against 25Mbps for HD and 30Mbps for UHD. The three Real Time channels launch at EPG numbers 922, 923 and 925 on Sky Glass and Sky Stream.
NOW Sports members get their own version of Multiview for running several live streams at once, plus Key Plays for catching up on the big moments of a match without leaving the stream.
In the Sky Sports app, Moments gives a vertical, scrollable feed of clips, highlights, analysis, interviews and reaction tailored to a viewer’s chosen sports, teams and competitions.
