YouTube is entering new territory as they have joined forces with the United Football League to broadcast the UFL Championship Game from four different camera angles this weekend.

The broadcast will go down in history as the first multiple-camera live feed ever broadcasted on YouTube. The UFL Championship Game features the final clash between the Florida Tuskers and the Las Vegas Locos, and will kick off on Saturday at 12 p.m. ET.

The four camera angles are in addition to the main broadcast feed provided by Versus. Craig Minervini and Doug Flutie will have the call on Versus while Ron Kruck will take fans' questions from the UFL's Twitter and Facebook pages during commercial breaks.

"At the UFL we embrace every opportunity for new technology to change the way sports fans experience our product," said UFL vice president of information technology Tomas Llibre. "This is where the future of television is going and we are excited to be at the forefront as we present our showpiece game."

In the past, other sporting events have been streamed live on YouTube, but the UFL Championship Game will be the first to provide multiple angles. Fans have the option of watching from a sideline hand-held camera, the line of scrimmage roving sideline angle, a high end zone angle and a second end zone camera that will follow the feed that is used for official replays.

Fans can tune into the YouTube broadcast by checking out the UFL Live Feed. The game will be broadcasted from Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha.
