Apple launched the Apple Sports app back in February of 2024 in the U.S., the U.K., and Canada with real-time sports statistics, scores, and more. The app was gradually rolled out to several more regions, including Austria, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and many more.
With today’s update, Apple has commenced the rollout of this app in 90 new countries and regions, bringing its availability to over 170 markets. Moreover, Apple Sports has added support for the upcoming World Cup 2026.
According to Apple, “Following a team also enables Live Activities1 on a user’s iPhone Lock Screen or Apple Watch, letting them follow every moment of a match with just a quick glance. Fans can also add widgets to their iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Home Screens to track the progress of the tournament in real time.
- Tournament bracket view: The clean, scrollable view of matchups and results for each round allows fans to easily track a team’s progression from the group stage through their final match.
- Visual formations: Enhanced game cards feature visual formations for each team’s starting lineup to provide deeper tactical insight ahead of each match.
- One tap to Apple News: Apple News connects fans directly to comprehensive editorial coverage, including the latest headlines.“
Recently, Apple Sports also added support for widgets in CarPlay for users to keep up with scores on the go.
