Apple Sports Enhances Football Engagement with Real-time Updates
Apple Sports Brings Exciting Updates for Football Fans
The Apple Sports app is gearing up for football season with an update that brings live scores and play-by-play information for NFL and college football games directly to your iPhone’s lockscreen. With the introduction of Live Activities support available for all teams and leagues in the app for the first time ever in iOS 18 and watchOS 11, fans can now keep tabs on their team’s scores from the lockscreen on their iPhone or Apple Watch.
UEFA Leagues Joining the Action
- In addition to North American football, Apple Sports is set to add UEFA Champions League and Europa League next month.
New Features for Enhanced Experience
For pro and college football fans in the US, the app is introducing a new dynamic drive tracker visual that displays the ball's current position on the field. In the future, Apple plans to implement a drop-down navigation menu to facilitate easier switching between main scorecard views.
Improvements on the Horizon
- An improved search feature will help you discover matches for leagues you aren’t specifically following.
- Apple launched its Sports app in February and continues to add support for new leagues, teams, and tournaments throughout the year, including Major League Baseball and March Madness.
