Yes.

The PHB p. 163 is explicit in that you have to have the GM's permission. Prior to the game in this context means that you have to get permission from your DM before you use it in game. If you decide during your campaign or a session of the game and ask them to multiclass before it happens in-game and they give you permission, then that works.

Even within your class and race, you have options to fine-tune what
your character can do. But this chapter is for players who—with the
DM’s permission—want to go a step further.

Yes

Both page 163 of the PHB and page 58 of the Basic Rules say this about multiclassing:

Multiclassing lets you combine classes together,
and feats are special options you can choose instead of increasing your ability scores as you gain levels. Your DM decides whether these options are available in a campaign.

This means that you must tell your DM if you decide you want to multiclass. You need their permission to allow for multiclassing in the game as the DM may decide it is too unbalanced or have some other reason they do not want to allow for multiclassing. As the decision is in the DM’s hands (as are most decisions as per “Rule 0”), there is no guarantee it will be allowed in your game.
