With the Apple Sports app, sports fans can follow games, leagues, conferences, and teams across a variety of sports, at least in the US and Canada for now. Soon, users will be able to receive real-time updates on the iPhone and Apple Watch lock screens with Live Activities.
Apple Sports reaches a new milestone
Apple is first introducing enhancements for the NFL and college football with play-by-play, providing quick access to score footage shown alongside every play. Additionally, a new dynamic drive tracker allows fans to visualize where the ball is on the field at all times.
With iOS 18 and watchOS 11, the Apple Sports app will also offer Live Activities delivering live scores and action recaps right to the iPhone and Apple Watch lock screens.
An app update later this year will also introduce a new drop-down menu for the main scorecard views, making it even faster to switch between My Leagues, My Teams, and favorite league feeds. A new and improved search will make it easier to view games for leagues that fans aren’t currently following.
The Champions League too
As a reminder, Apple Sports provides scores, updates, betting data, and more throughout the season for multiple leagues. Additional leagues, such as the Champions League and Europa League, will be available on Apple Sports over time, starting with the league stage in September.
Apple Sports offers season-long scores, updates, betting data and more for the following leagues:
- NFL
- NCAAF
- MLS
- MLB
- NBA
- WNBA
- NCAA Basketball (Men’s and Women’s)
- NHL
- NWSL
- Premier League
- Bundesliga
- La Liga
- Liga MX
- Ligue 1
- Series A
The only problem is that this free app is still not available in France. We can’t wait to get it, especially since you have to log in to the Lequipe app to access the content.

- Added a new drop-down menu that makes it faster and easier to switch between leagues and a new search page to browse the leagues you want to follow.
