Apple released version 4.5 of its Apple Sports app on 15 October 2026, adding support for five soccer competitions – Brazil's Serie B, England's League One and League Two, Norway's Eliteserien and the UEFA Nations League – and enhancing Live Activity widgets to show key statistics during game breaks.

The update’s release notes state that the new Live Activity features let users stay "even closer to the game at a glance" by displaying stats such as scores and possession while the app runs in the iPhone lock screen.

Apple Sports can be downloaded from the App Store, and the company highlighted the expansion as part of its ongoing effort to integrate more sports content with iOS features.
