Apple Sports expands soccer and tournament plans Apfelpatient

Apple has significantly expanded its Apple Sports app with version 3.8. The focus is on new features for tracking NCAA men's and women's tournaments, as well as a substantial expansion of soccer coverage. Additionally, support for leagues and teams in Latin America and the Caribbean has been increased. The update is clearly aimed at users who want to follow sporting events in real time and value a clear, user-friendly interface.

Apple Sports was designed from the outset as a streamlined, fast app that delivers live scores and game information without distractions. The focus is on clarity and the immediate availability of relevant data. With version 3.8, Apple further expands on this concept, placing greater emphasis on college sports and international soccer.

The updates show that Apple Sports is continuously being expanded to cover more competitions and improve navigation within the app.

Keep an eye on NCAA tournaments for men and women

A key element of the update is support for NCAA tournaments for both men and women. Version 3.8 allows users to follow these tournaments in real time. The app offers:

Live results of all games
Tables with complete tournament brackets
A clear overview of the pairings
Results of each round at a glance

Especially in tournaments with many matches running simultaneously, a structured overview is crucial. Apple Sports displays the complete tournament structure in a compact format. This makes it easy to see at any time which teams are facing each other, which round is currently being played, and how the field of participants is developing.

The tournament display is designed so that results and progress are immediately visible. This makes it easier to stay oriented during intense phases of play.

New football category for better overview

Besides college sports, soccer is a major focus of the update. Apple is introducing a new soccer category. According to Apple, this will make it easier to find and follow favorite leagues, cups, and other competitions in one central location.

The new structure clearly organizes football content and reduces the search process within the app. Leagues and competitions are clearly categorized and more easily accessible.

These leagues are new additions

With the football expansion, Apple Sports integrates several additional leagues. Specifically, the following competitions are added:

Campeonato Brasileiro Série A
Category Prime A
Liga de Primera
League Pro
Liga Profesional de Futbol
Primera División del Perú

This expansion significantly strengthens the coverage of South American competitions. Fans of these leagues will now have access to results, scores, and information directly within the app.

Expanded support for Latin America and the Caribbean

Additionally, Apple Sports is expanding its support for leagues and teams in Latin America and the Caribbean. This means that more competitions and teams from these regions can be followed in the app. The expansion provides:

Greater regional coverage
More available teams
Additional real-time results
A wider selection of competitions

This allows Apple Sports to expand beyond its traditional core markets and offer a significantly more international focus.

Availability and costs

Apple Sports remains free for iPhone in the App Store. The update to version 3.8 is rolling out starting today. There are no additional charges for using the app.

Apple Sports significantly expands its college and soccer offerings

With version 3.8, Apple Sports is expanding its offerings in two key areas: NCAA tournaments and international soccer. The new tournament view allows for structured, real-time tracking of college competitions. At the same time, the new soccer category, including several South American leagues, provides significantly broader international coverage.

The app remains free and continues to focus on fast, clear live information. Version 3.8 thus marks another step in the expansion of Apple Sports as a central platform for sports results and tournament tracking. (Image: Apple)
