Apple Sports is ready for all kinds of football

The Apple Sports app is gearing up for football season with an update that brings live scores and play-by-play information for NFL and college football games to your iPhone’s lockscreen. With Live Activities support “for all teams and leagues available in the app for the first time ever” in iOS 18 and watchOS 11, now you can keep tabs on your team’s scores from the lockscreen on your iPhone or Apple Watch.

In addition to North American football, Apple Sports is adding UEFA Champions League and Europa League next month.

For pro and college football fans in the US, the app is also adding a new “dynamic drive tracker” visual to show the ball’s current position on the field.

Later this year, Apple plans on rolling out a new drop-down navigation menu that’s supposed to make it easier to switch between main scorecard views. It’s also working on an improved search feature to help you find matches for leagues you aren’t following.
