YouTube has just announced a number of improvements that will make the upcoming NFL Sunday Ticket season more attractive to football fans. The most important of these is the addition of Multiview to the YouTube app. Until now, Multiview was only available on TV screens or through the YouTube TV app. According to Google, Multiview will also be available in the traditional YouTube app starting next season in September. The catch is that Multiview will only be available to NFL Sunday Ticket subscribers. Moreover, only users in the United States will benefit from this perk.
In addition to the expansion to YouTube, Google also announced some improvements to Multiview. For example, NFL Sunday Ticket subscribers will be able to customize their viewing experience. Previously, you could only use predefined Multiview options, but the new version of the feature will allow users to create any available combination of two, three or four NFL Sunday Ticket games.
Additionally, Google confirmed that YouTube TV Basic plan members will also have the ability to find their favorite multiview streams featuring their local NFL games through select broadcasters.

In addition to Multiview, YouTube unveiled a number of important new features and improvements, including the ability to connect Yahoo Fantasy accounts to Fantasy View. This means both NFL Fantasy and Yahoo Fantasy users can manage their teams in the same app.
It's also important to note that Fantasy View on YouTube TV is available on both TVs and mobile devices. Google also announced that Fantasy View will be available on mobile, tablet and web later this season for viewers watching NFL Sunday Ticket games via YouTube.
