Apple updated its iOS Sports app today with several new features, including a faster way to navigate the app, support for a handful of additional soccer tournaments, and information about where you can watch games that are being nationally broadcast in the US.
According to the release notes for the update, you can now quickly “swipe left or right to browse all of the leagues and teams you follow.” When on a page for a specific game, below each team’s name and record for the season you’ll now find an additional line listing broadcast information such as “Live on NHL Network,” or “Live on TNT, Max, truTV,” if there are several ways to watch it.
The update also expands the Sports app’s soccer coverage with the addition of the UK’s FA Cup, EFL Championship, and League Cup tournaments.
Apple Sports launched in February, giving fans of several different major sports leagues – including the NBA, NHL, and MLS – a one-stop solution for keeping tabs on scores, stats, upcoming games, and even betting odds. In August, the app added live scores and play-by-play info for NFL and college football games and expanded its Live Activities support “for all teams and leagues available in the app,” making it easier to track games on an iPhone’s lock screen and the Apple Watch.
