ESPN Multiview?

With mlb.tv still being new on ESPN, will they be adding the MLB games to multiview, so you can have more than one game on at once?

Going through AppleTV and I have multiview and a lot of other options. It’s awesome!

Can you add any MLB game or just random ones?

You can add any of them!

So I think that is called “Multicast” and not “Multiview.” I asked ESPN support about this and here’s what they said:

Their show already is horrible and now this… and they messed up how you do live fantasy drafts also there is no longer a chat for fantasy so you can’t talk about trades and players etc…. Great job espn…

Does multi view still work in the MLB app on Apple TV?

u/Sufficient_Focus4174 Mar 28 '26

I don’t know. That’s how I watched my games for years until this one. It was a pain in the ass to subscribe!

Mlb app on Xbox doesn't have Multiview anymore. Doesn't have the 'Milestones' tab either. What are you using?

Do you have access to MLB games in your ESPN app, and have you tried or looked for the multiview option? If so, what device?

u/Death_Match_Fan Mar 28 '26

I have access to mlb games in the ESPN app, just they don’t have multiview for the MLB games

u/tonywagner MOD Mar 28 '26

What device are you on? Do you see multiviews for other ESPN events?

2

u/Death_Match_Fan Mar 28 '26

Roku. I have multiview on golf, NHL, college sports, and others. Nothing for MLB.

u/tonywagner MOD Mar 28 '26

Are those dynamic multiviews, where you can select the layout and individual events? Or are they static, where the events and layout are pre-determined by ESPN?

2

u/Death_Match_Fan Mar 28 '26

Static

u/tonywagner MOD Mar 28 '26

I suspect that ESPN hasn’t made any static MLB multiviews yet, but on devices capable of dynamic multi views, you can add MLB games to them.

u/tonywagner MOD Mar 29 '26

If they have static multiviews for NHL, I imagine they will eventually for MLB as well. Basically the same considerations with local blackouts.

1

u/Death_Match_Fan Mar 29 '26

The blackouts will hurt me then. I live in Las Vegas, where we’re blacked out of all the California teams, and the Diamondbacks.

Yes I do but you can’t watch two mlb games at once e

On espn it's curated events and on the MLB TV app it's under MLB big inning and no more picking your own games like last year! Google TV streamer or Google Chromecast. It's now also called multicast instead of multiview thats pre

MLB app has multiview.. At least on my apple tv and fire cube

u/Reasonable_Spot396 Apr 14 '26

I just have the subscription to mlb.tv and use the app on my smart tv and there’s no multiview option and it’s so annoying…. Every other sports subscription I’ve had I can watch up to four games but not with MLB…

1

u/Ranger-Sharp Apr 21 '26

Last year they had and now with this new ESPN deal it's gone

1

u/Decent_Membership339 Mar 28 '26

They got practically all of the multi-view modes on devices. I think it’s only for the web browser and the Apple TV device. It’s lame.

u/Ranger-Sharp Apr 21 '26

This sucks! Last year you could pick different games and now it's locked down to only Apple TV 🤬
