Six New Leagues Coming to Apple Sports

Following today's update, Apple plans to add support for six new soccer leagues to the next version of the Sports app, MacRumors has discovered.

Apple Sports Feature
Earlier today, Apple released version 3.7 of the Sports app, introducing support for every PGA and LPGA tournament, with live leaderboards, round-by-round scorecards for every golfer, and real-time updates in the app, widgets, and Live Activities. The app already supported the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, Premier League, NASCAR, F1, and more. The update also expanded the soccer lineup with support for Copa del Rey, Coppa Italia, Coupe de France, and DFB-Pokal. In addition, tennis coverage now supports real-time stats, making it easier to keep up with the action.

Backend code spotted by MacRumors reveals what's next for Apple Sports in version 3.8. Apple is planning to add support for six South American soccer leagues, including Brazil Serie A, Argentina Primera A, Colombia Primera Liga, Ecuador Serie A, Peru Primera Division, and Chile Primera Division.

The Apple Sports app launched in 2024, offering an easy way to see live scores and statistics. It is available on the iPhone in the U.S., the UK, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and other select European countries.

I do love Apple Sports, but it needs work.

It would be really nice to add an option to delay notifications. It would be even better if we could see all previous and/or upcoming games for the NFL, MLB, etc.

I believe it has the Championship but no league one or two (here in Canada).
Time for my team to step up and get into the Championship then so I can use this app 🤣

Apparently Live Activities are supposed to automatically start for your favourite teams, but this feature has never worked for me.

Has anyone else encountered and solved this problem?
There is an extra step to enable live activities. Select the drop down that allows you to switch between Sports, My Teams etc then the gear icon. From there you can select which Teams you want Live Activities for.

Looks like Apple is concentrating more on Sports which is very good. However would like the app to be in more countries. Still waiting for it to launch in my region.
