Apple has officially expanded the availability of the Apple Sports app to over 90 new countries and regions. The free service for tracking sports scores is now operational in over 170 locations worldwide and is expected to play an important role during the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Apple is heavily focusing on sports and the 2026 World Cup
Apple Sports allows users to track match scores, statistics, and the most important sporting events in real-time. The company has also prepared special features related to the upcoming FIFA World Cup. Users will be able to customize scoreboards, follow specific national teams, and use a tournament bracket view showing the path of teams from the group stage to the finals. Apple has also added a feature for visualizing team lineups and integration with Apple News and Apple TV.
Live results will appear on the lock screen and Apple Watch
One of the most important features is live events displayed directly on the lock screen of the iPhone and on the Apple Watch. This allows users to follow the progress of matches without practically opening the app. Apple also enables the addition of sports widgets on the home screen of the iPhone, iPad, and MacBook, which is intended to further facilitate real-time tournament tracking.
Apple is increasingly expanding its sports segment
The expansion of Apple Sports shows that the company is investing more heavily in sports content and live streaming services. In recent years, Apple has been developing its sports offerings on ChooseTV+, and the 2026 World Cup could be one of the company's biggest opportunities to promote its ecosystem.
