Apple Sports Now Lets You Follow Your Favorite 2026 FIFA World Cup Teams

Apple today updated the Sports app for iPhone to add more 2026 FIFA World Cup content. Soccer fans are now able to view complete tournament groupings and follow their favorite national teams in the app. This is the first 48-team World Cup and a departure from the traditional 32-team format.

Apple Sports Feature
Following teams allows Apple Sports users to get real-time score updates and stats, plus there is support for Live Activities for tracking games. Apple says that it's easier than ever for fans to stay up to date on the tournament action when it begins on June 11.

The Apple Sports app lets users follow their favorite teams, tournaments, and leagues, with tools for navigating between scores and upcoming games, viewing play-by-play and lineup details, and tapping into the Apple TV app to watch live events.

Apple Sports includes support for more than 30 of the top soccer leagues and tournaments across North America, Latin America, and Europe.

The Apple Sports app is free to download from the App Store.
