Apple’s sports app now lets users watch nationally broadcast games

Tech & innovation

Apple has updated its iOS Sports app with several new features, including a faster way to navigate the app, support for a handful of additional soccer tournaments, and information on games that are being nationally broadcast in the US.

According to the release notes for the update, users 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.

Apple Sports launched last year, 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 betting odds.
