The free Apple Sports app for iPhone is making it easier for sports fans to keep track of their favorite leagues and teams, with the launch of widgets for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
The app already offered real-time updates for the iPhone Lock Screen and Apple Watch, and now fans can also schedule Live Activities in advance for any upcoming event in the app.
Widgets provide the ability for fans 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.
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 an unlimited number of widgets can be added.
In addition to the new widgets feature, Apple Sports is also expanding to eight additional countries: Austria, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. League coverage is also expanding, with the addition of new European soccer competitions, including the 2. Bundesliga, Ligue 2, Segunda División, Serie B, and Primeira Liga.
Apple Sports 3.3 is available now as a free download from the App Store.
