Version 1.6 of the Apple Sports app introduces several new features tailored to football enthusiasts. Notably, the app fully supports NFL and NCAA Division 1 football, enabling users to follow their favorite teams, monitor scores, and dive into game statistics.

A new "Stats" tab has been added to the game pages, consolidating box scores, lineups, and other crucial game details into a single, user-friendly location. The feature enhances the user experience by providing all relevant game information at a glance.

The Apple Sports app, initially launched in February, initially supported a limited selection of sports leagues. However, since its debut, the app has undergone steady updates, gradually expanding its coverage to include a broader range of sports.

The latest update is a significant step in that direction, providing a robust platform for football fans to engage with their favorite sport. Users can customize their experience by selecting preferred teams and leagues, ensuring that the app delivers the most relevant content to each individual.

Apple Sports continues to offer integration with the Apple TV app, which supports Live Activities. It allows users to follow live games and receive real-time updates directly within the TV app.

The app is available for iPhones running iOS 17.2 or later.
