Apple Sports app gets football update, promises Live Activities in iOS 18

Apple has updated its first-party Sports app with score tracking for the NFL

Originally released back in April, the Apple Sports app lets you follow along to your favorite team’s progress during their respective season through Live Activities, up-to-the-minute score updates, and more, all with a simplistic interface to boot. Throughout the upcoming season, you’ll be able to “favorite” the teams you want to watch the closest (some of the ones I picked were the Tennessee Titans, Kansas City Chiefs, and – of course – my beloved Philadelphia Eagles) and see their live score counts in a feed. Scores will be available on your iPhone’s lock screen and Dynamic Island, which is a big advantage over devices like the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra that simply can’t do that.
