Never miss the action

Between multiviews, full length game day recordings, and condensed recap VODs, you never have to play Sunday favorites again.

Multiview

Multiviews are pre-selected groups of up to 4 games that can be viewed together as a single stream, allowing you to never miss a moment of the action. For information on how to find or set up a multiview, follow the instructions in this article.

DVR

Once you set them up, recordings are automatically added to your YouTube TV Library, available from the app on your device, or on your computer at tv.youtube.com. For more guidance on how to record NFL content, check out these step-by-step instructions.

Tip: DVR records the content you selected that’s available with your subscription(s):

  • NFL Sunday Ticket: Only regular season games airing on Sunday afternoons outside of your broadcast area.
  • YouTube TV: Local and national games from the preseason, regular season, and postseason.
  • YouTube TV + NFL Sunday Ticket: All games except Thursday Amazon Prime games.
  • NFL RedZone: You cannot select individual games. To record the full 8-hour block:
    1. In the search bar, enter “NFL Red Zone.”
    2. In the “Shows” tab, add NFL Red Zone to your library. You can also add it to your DVR while you watch.

Video-on-demand

Every game that’s available through your subscription is available as a 45-minute condensed on-demand replay (VOD) on the NFL page. VODs are uploaded by midnight Eastern time after the games air, and they’re available until 11:59 PM on the following Wednesday.
