Subscribers Can Now Engage With Live Game Stats and Scores While Streaming Multiple Sporting Events Simultaneously

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- fuboTV Inc. (NYSE: FUBO), the leading sports-first live TV streaming platform, announced today it has expanded its popular Multiview mode on Apple TV to support elements of its FanView feature, as the company continues to integrate interactivity into its live TV streaming experience.

Starting today, subscribers can create their own custom sports viewing dashboard on Apple TV combining multiple streams (Multiview) with live stats and scores (FanView), configured on screen just as they like. With this latest evolution of Multiview, subscribers can watch up to two live sporting events simultaneously while also placing different FanView widgets right alongside each video player. FanView widget options include statistics of each live game being viewed as well as scores from games across all of the top leagues. While in FanView’s scoreboard widget, subscribers can also navigate through live scores and, with one click, go directly into a selected game, no channel change required.

Subscribers who do not want to enable FanView can continue to stream up to four sports, news and entertainment channels simultaneously while in Multiview mode on Apple TV.
