Apple Sports App Expands to More Countries and Leagues

Starting today, the Apple Sports app on the iPhone is available in 36 additional countries across the Caribbean and Latin America, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Peru, and others.

Apple Sports Feature
Apple Sports first launched in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. in February 2024, and it later expanded to Europe and Mexico. The app shows scores, stats, standings, upcoming games, and more for a variety of leagues and competitions. With the Caribbean and Latin America expansion, the app is now available in 80 countries.

Also as of today, the app now supports the following six Latin men's soccer (fútbol) leagues:

  • Campeonato Brasileiro Série A
  • Categoría Primera A
  • Liga de Primera
  • Liga Pro
  • Liga Profesional de Fútbol
  • Primera División del Perú

In the "Search" section of Apple Sports, there is a new "Soccer" category that contains all of the soccer leagues that are available in the app.

Finally, Apple says fans can now follow men's and women's NCAA tournaments in real time, with brackets showcasing matchups and results at a glance for each round.

These changes arrived in version 3.8 of the app, which is available now in the App Store.

Not a good app. There are way better free sport apps on the AppStore.

As someone who always tries to use Apple's own apps (for optimization) I quite like the simplicity of the Sports app. However, as others have mentioned it is behind in many areas when compared to others like Fotmob/Sofascore at least when it comes to football. I want to see metrics like field tilt/match momentum as well as a lineup of the team in formation with player ratings that Fotmob does really well. It feels very catered towards American sports where listing the team is common but seeing the team in formation would be far more useful for "soccer" fans.

I still wish this was less tailored to US sports interests. Will that section still be called "soccer" when the app is released outside the US?

Here's dreaming this will be a good app for following the Olympic Games. The official apps always have loads of performance and UX issues.

Second worst Apple app. Music on macOS being the first.

I feel like this is an app that some VP's little kid wrote and Apple decided to throw them a bone and publish it.
