The new player also allows users to pause live streamed content for up to three hours and displays a full electronic programme to allow viewers to see the full schedule.
The player will be introduced in beta from this weekend, allowing Eurosport subscribers to use the new functionality while watching the Roland Garros 2010 French Open tennis tournament.
A spokesman for Eurosport said it expected to launch the player formally in time for the Tour de France cycling competition, which begins on 3 July.
Eurosport has also launched a free app for BlackBerry and Android smartphones. The apps are available in an international version, as well as in eight language versions, and deliver live results, breaking sports news coverage, player stats, standings and fixtures.
Eurosport and Panasonic are currently broadcasting the French Open in 3D in 3,000 selected Panasonic retail outlets, in 28 territories across Europe.
Laurent-Eric Le Lay, Eurosport chairman and chief executive said: "This European transmission shows that not only are consumers ready for this exciting new viewing experience, but that broadcasters and TV manufacturers have the technological maturity to deliver the 3D revolution."
