Not that Tubi was exactly lacking for anything to watch, but the free (as in ad-supported) streaming service just added a couple more reasons to keep you glued to your couch. The Fox-owned FAST service (that’s short for free ad-supported television) today announced a partnership with DAZN that brings a bevy of sports to platform.

The tentpole addition is DAZN Women’s Football. It’ll be available 24 hours a day, with “a compelling mix of live and classic soccer matches from prestigious tournaments.” Those will include the UEFA Women’s Champions League, Liga F, and the Saudi Women’s Premier League, among others. It’ll be available in the U.S. and Canada.

DAZN Ringside is coming to the U.S. only and features “the very best action across boxing and MMA from our partners Matchroom Boxing, Golden Boy, Wasserman, and MF & DAZN: X Series.” The channel will include live undercards, with action before the bell, including weigh-ins. It also will have 300 hours of archived fights, exclusive documentaries, and

The DAZN Boxing Show. World title fights also will be available after a waiting period.

And DAZN TV is headed to Tubi audiences in Canada, with a multitude of boxing, MMA, and international soccer.

If you already have Tubi — which got a new look earlier this year — installed on whatever device you like to stream from, you’re good to go. And that means pretty much any modern device that has an internet connection, be it Roku or Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV or Google TV, various smart TV platforms, phones, or even in a web browser. Tubi is free — you just have to give it a few minutes of your attention for advertising.

YouTube is reworking the Home page with Custom Feeds and quicker access to Subscriptions
Saved Custom Feeds are rolling out as YouTube also experiments with a redesigned Home navigation bar.

YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.

YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.

Skullcandy is now part of Bose, but its bold identity isn’t going anywhere
Bold style, meet big sound. Skullcandy just joined the Bose family.

If you own a pair of Skullcandy earbuds, there’s a good chance you’ve already heard Bose without realizing it. Now, the two companies are making things official. Bose has bought Skullcandy, the brand that made a name for itself with eye-catching headphones and a whole lot of attitude.

This deal didn’t come out of nowhere. For the past few years, Skullcandy has been packing Bose’s audio tech into its earbuds and headphones under the Sound by Bose label. That team-up worked so well that Bose decided to go all in and bring Skullcandy into the family.

Spotify rolls out its first native car app for cable-free listening, but only Audi drivers get it for now
Spotify app on Audi

I’ve sacrificed too many charging cables to my car’s USB port (even the braided ones). All so my playlist could follow me down the road.

Spotify just launched a fully native car app that runs on the car’s infotainment system, with no phone or cable required. However, it’s only available for Audi owners right now.
