- Use a secondary device for stats – Keep a tablet or phone open to ESPN/Rotowire for real‑time player stats while watching the main stream.
- leverage picture‑in‑picture (PiP) – On Android 13+ and iOS 17+, enable PiP for DAZN to keep the game visible while browsing the Netflix sports hub.
- Enable captions – Both platforms offer live captioning; useful for noisy living rooms or for hearing‑impaired viewers.
