Expanding Globally, Apple Sports Introduces Widgets in Eight New Nations
In a move to enhance sports fans' experience, Apple has launched the Apple Sports app, offering a personalised platform for users to stay updated on their favourite teams and leagues. The app, available for free, is designed for speed and simplicity and is compatible with all iPhones running iOS 17.2 or later.
The new app comes equipped with a range of features, including widgets that can be placed on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac home screens. These widgets provide live activities on the lock screen and Apple Watch, keeping users informed at a glance. To access widgets on iPad, users need to download the compatible Apple Sports app for iPad.
One of the standout features of the Apple Sports app is the ability to schedule Live Activities in advance for any upcoming event. This feature ensures users never miss a moment of the action. To make the most of these new features, users are advised to update their devices and the Apple Sports app to the latest versions.
The app's widgets also offer fans the opportunity to customise their iPhone Home Screen with their favourite teams and leagues. Users can choose between the "My Teams" view for scores and upcoming schedules for their favourite teams, or the "League" view to keep up with scores and schedules for every team in a league.
Apple Sports is not just limited to domestic sports. The app's league coverage continues to grow, with the addition of new European soccer competitions, including the 2. Bundesliga, Ligue 2, Segunda División, Serie B, and Primeira Liga.
To access the MLS Season Pass and Friday Night Baseball, users require separate subscriptions, and availability and content may vary by country or region. It's worth noting that Apple Sports is now available for free in eight additional countries: Austria, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Spain.
With its user-friendly interface, personalised experience, and expanded league coverage, the Apple Sports app is set to revolutionise the way sports fans consume their favourite content. Whether you're an NFL or MLB fan, the Apple Sports app offers a seamless and immersive experience for sports lovers everywhere.
