As you’d expect from an Apple-designed app, it comes with a sleek interface that you can customise to your preferences. You can tailor your scoreboards to follow your favourite teams, leagues, or tournaments. Apple Sports covers a decent spread, especially if you’re a fan of leagues like the MLS, NBA, NHL, and all those European football leagues – yes, even the Premier League. But beyond that, the focus is definitely on US sports. If you’re into events like Rugby, Cricket, or Formula 1, you might feel a bit left out in the cold. All the sports that you can keep up-to-date with are as follows:
MLS
NBA
NCAA Basketball
NHL
Bundesliga
LaLiga
Liga MX
Ligue 1
Premier League
Serie A
And for those who can’t stand to be glued to their screens, the app syncs with your faves in the Apple TV app and Apple News, so you’re always in the loop. Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior VP of Services explained, “We created Apple Sports to give sports fans what they want — an app that delivers incredibly fast access to scores and stats.”
Apple Sports is up for grabs starting today in the US, UK, and Canada. It’s available in English, French, and Spanish, depending on where you are. And the best part? It’s free! Just make sure your iPhone is running on iOS 17.2 or later, and you’re golden.
