BT Sports App Provides 360-Degree Instant Replay Of Soccer, Boxing

Neymar was quiet in Bayern Munich’s Champions League triumph over Paris Saint-Germain Tuesday evening, but fans who crave watching the new PSG star were still able to see him play from all angles thanks to a new offering in the BT Sport App.

BT Sport, the sports division of British Telecommunications, announced Tuesday that it would provide 360-degree highlights and instant replays through its mobile app, beginning with the Bayern-PSG contest. The content is viewable with or without VR headsets — although fans could certainly use the cardboard ones BT Sport gave out for last year’s Champions League final — and covers Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup football matches, as well as boxing.
