Tech giant Apple debuts sports app integrating betting odds provided by DraftKings
Apple has launched a new app called Apple Sports, designed to keep fans updated with their favourite teams and leagues. The app, introduced by Eddy Cue, Apple's SVP of services, is now available for free in the App Store.
Apple Sports offers a comprehensive Sports Hub section for streaming sports games. It syncs with favourites selected within the My Sports experience, including in the Apple TV app and Apple News. This means that users can easily access information on upcoming games and tap to watch live games on the Apple TV app.
The app provides real-time scores, stats, and betting odds. For sports enthusiasts, this makes it a simple and fast way to stay up-to-date on the teams and leagues they love. The betting odds in the app are provided by DraftKings.
The app now covers a wide range of leagues, including MLS, NBA, NCAA basketball (men's and women's), NHL, Bundesliga, LaLiga, Liga MX, Ligue 1, Premier League, and Serie A. These leagues are currently in season. Additionally, Apple Sports will add more leagues for their upcoming seasons, such as MLB, NFL, NCAAF, NWSL, and WNBA.
Recent updates and expansions have included the addition of the FA Community Shield and the expansion of the app to Mexico, adding support for Liga MX and the MLS Leagues Cup. For future developments, it's likely that Apple will continue to expand its sports offerings, possibly including more international leagues or competitions. However, no concrete details are provided in the current search results.
Users can customise their scoreboards on Apple Sports by following their favourite teams, tournaments, and leagues. They can navigate between scores, upcoming games, explore play-by-play information, team stats, lineup details, and live betting odds on Apple Sports. The streaming is done via Apple's flagship Apple TV service.
Apple Sports is currently accessible in the US, UK, and Canada. Fans are encouraged to check Apple's official announcements or updates for any future additions to the app's sports offerings.
