Apple Sports is the latest app designed by Cupertino to deliver real-time scores, stats and more to sports fans. Apple says Sports is designed for speed and simplicity by using a personalized experience to put users’ favorite leagues and teams front and center. Interestingly, this software was released a year after Apple started streaming Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer games.
“We created Apple Sports to give sports fans what they want — an app that provides incredibly fast access to scores and stats,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of services. “Apple Sports is available for free in the App Store and makes it easy for users to stay up to date with their favorite teams and leagues.”
Apple Sports keeps fans updated on the following leagues currently in season:
- MLS
- NBA
- NCAA Basketball (Men’s and Women’s)
- NHL
- Bundesliga
- LaLiga
- Liga MX
- Ligue 1
- Premier League
- League
In the future, this app will include MLB, NFL, NCAAF, NWSL and WNBA for their upcoming seasons. Apple says the app gives fans “an easy and quick way to stay up to date with the teams and leagues they love.”
They can customize their scoreboards on Apple Sports by following their favorite teams, tournaments and leagues. Fans can easily navigate between scores and upcoming matches; explore play-by-play information, team stats, lineup details and live betting odds, and tap to go to the Apple TV app to watch live matches from Apple and related streaming apps.
Apple Sports is available to download starting today in the US, UK and Canada, with support for English as well as French and Spanish where available. An iPhone model with iOS 17.2 or later is required.
At this time, it is not clear when this application will be extended to other countries and regional sports, such as Brazilian soccer cups, tennis championships and others. BGR will notify you of its upcoming features and availability.
