Today, Apple announced that its Sports app will soon be updated with one of its most important features ever: Live Activity, which will allow users to follow real-time updates on the iPhone and Apple Watch lock screens.

According to Apple, Live Activity will be available for all available teams and leagues and will deliver live scores and match reports at a glance on a user’s iPhone and Apple Watch lock screens, provided they are running iOS 18 and watchOS 11.

Currently, Apple Sports is adding updates to NFL and college football games, including improvements to the play history display, which provides quick access to scoring drives displayed alongside the view of each play. Additionally, a new dynamic drive tracker lets fans visualize where the ball is on the field at any time.

Like other leagues in Apple Sports, fans can follow their favorite teams so those games are just a tap away. In college football, fans can now follow the Top 25 updated weekly in addition to their favorite teams and conferences. Each game also offers real-time scores, stats and live betting odds, similar to all other leagues in the app.

Later this year, Apple Sports will introduce new dropdown navigation for key scorecard views, making it quicker to switch between My Leagues, My Teams and users’ feeds for their favorite leagues. A new improved search will make it easier to view games for leagues fans don’t currently follow.

Apple Sports delivers season-long scores, updates, betting data and more for the following leagues:

• NFL
• NCAAF
• MLS
• MLB
• NBA
• NBA
• NCAA Basketball (Men and Women)
• NHL
• NWSL
• Premier League
• Bundesliga
• LaLiga
• League MX
• League 1
• Series A

More leagues will become available on Apple Sports over time, including the Champions League and Europa League, starting with the league phase in September.
