But that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t keep track of how all the teams you care about are performing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Apple\u2019s Sports app is free for iPhone users, available in the App Store, and has blossomed into a deep well of scores and sports information. The app originally debuted just over two years ago, in early 2024. If you haven\u2019t tried it yet, you\u2019re missing out. Among other sports, it\u2019s a perfect way to follow Formula 1, MLB, NBA, and MLS.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">The newest features of Apple Sports<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When Apple Sports debuted, it was a bare-bones way to see scores from a few sports leagues. In the years since, it has gained more features as well as more leagues and sports to follow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Just in 2026 alone, the Sports app has added support for tracking the FIFA World Cup (June 11 through July 19), PGA and LPGA Tour events, an in-app bracket for the NCAA March Madness Tournament, and probable starting pitchers for MLB games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Those features add to the existing sports you can track in the app. Now, there\u2019s support for:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"mb-4\">\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\"\/>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\"\/>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\"\/>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\"\/>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">College Basketball (men\u2019s and women\u2019s)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\"\/>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\"\/>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\"\/>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Tennis (men\u2019s and women\u2019s)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\"\/>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\"\/>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\"\/>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\"\/>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\"\/>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\"\/>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Champions League (men\u2019s and women\u2019s)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\"\/><\/ul>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Where applicable, across various sports, there will be league standings and athlete rankings. There are schedules for the current day as well as future and upcoming events. Once you follow a team or event, you\u2019ll get a new tab in the Sports app that you can swipe through, left and right.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Speed and Live Activities are the app\u2019s highlights<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Track individual games as well as league standings<\/p>\n<p><span>(Tyler Hayes)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The number of sports leagues to track is important. But the key part of tracking your favorite teams is speed and notifications. This is where Apple Sports excels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The app\u2019s original mandate was speed.
