Apple Sports adds widgets and expands to eight new countries
Apple has added new tools for sports fans using the free Apple Sports app, who can now follow live scores with widgets on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, plus access the service free in eight additional countries.
Now even you know the score
Widgets give fans the ability to customize their iPhone Home Screen with their favorite teams and leagues. Widgets can also be accessed on iPad and Mac, giving fans scores and schedules for their favorite leagues and teams on even more platforms.
Live Activities already deliver real-time updates directly to the iPhone Lock Screen and Apple Watch, and starting today, users can also schedule Live Activities in advance for any upcoming event in the app.
To add a widget, users can choose either the “My Teams” view for scores and upcoming schedules for their favorited teams, or the “League” view to keep up with scores and schedules for every team in a league. Widgets can be customized per device, and there is no limit on how many can be added.
Now available in eight new nations
Apple Sports is also expanding and now available for free in eight additional countries: Austria, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Spain.
League coverage continues to grow as well, with the addition of new European soccer competitions, including the 2. Bundesliga, Ligue 2, Segunda División, Serie B, and Primeira Liga.
It is available to download in Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, the UK, and the U.S. Availability and features may vary by country, region, or device.
