Its not available in Germany right now.. Thats kinda sad.. Right now, Fotmob TestFlight Beta ist the best way to enjoy live tickers about Sport for free and without ads... cant wait to have it with a clean, fresh look from Apple itself.
Got a tip for us?

I still have this function for the Phillies, I think you have to follow the team on the Tv App and then it should pop up automatically.
It's very convenient when I'm working, I get the updates on the watch too!!
Not sure what I’m more surprised about. A.) Learning today the sports app exists, B.) Learning today an iPad version does not exist. 😂
Love how Apple is slowly rediscovering the skeumorphic app icons.
Yes I need this for NHL! I use sports alert app currently. Also crazy you have to go to the Apple TV app to turn on the live activities! Should be a toggle for this directly in the scores app.
The app is a joke.
Lol, who's running things at Apple. Makes no sense.
I use two sports apps for the most part. The Score and Sports Alerts. For sports scores, The Score is better organized. they have one page with all the day's games and scores on that page. - you can favorite your favorite teams and they will all appear at the top of the page that shows all the scores of all your leagues. The Score has recently added live activities feature for most leagues they support.
That being said, Sports Alerts does a better job with it's live activities feature as far as the detail is concerned. They have live activities for the NHL, MLB, NFL and college football and basketball (there may be others, I just don't follow others) but each sport gets its own tab. So you have to tap on the league tab to get to the sport and game you want to start a live activity for. Sports Alerts has better detail in the live activity that you see on your screen. But maybe The Score will get better over time.

I agree 100% and I also use both apps. I've noticed that The Score live activities also don't seem to update as frequently as Sports Alerts. I'm sure they will make improvements eventually, but for now I am sticking with Sports Alerts for live activities.
I want to really like Apple Sports but the organization doesn't make much sense to me.
Lumping all of my favorited leagues into a single dropdown is a giant mess. It should have a Sports category banner below or above the Yesterday / Today/ Upcoming banner.
I hope individual sports categories (e.g., golf, tennis) are in the works, as well as the Olympics.
There should be a bottom navigation tab with Scores, Standings, and Schedules.

Both The Score and Sports Alerts have ATP and WTA tournament coverage and The Score has a news page as well. I am sure they have golf but I don't follow golf so I can't say for sure.
Totally useless to me until they add more football leagues. Not everyone follows the Premiership. FFS.
This.
I would like to follow several teams, but the notifications from TV are ANNOYING.
One big difference between Google and Apple is that, so far, when Apple makes something it's going to stick around. It usually even gets better after a year or two. One thing Apple has had going for it is, to quote my favorite principal, "sticktoitiveness."
How is there no widget for this app? It's literally an Apple native app and they didn't make a widget?
TheScore is so much better.
