Apple Sports App Now Tracks Live Tennis Scores with New Home Screen Update

Apple Sports App Adds Tennis Scores and Smarter Home Screen

At Squredtech.co, we track how major tech players improve sports fan experiences, and Apple just made a big move. On Wednesday, Apple confirmed a major update to the Apple Sports app, expanding its reach with live tennis scores and a redesigned home screen layout.

The update arrives just before Wimbledon, giving fans a clear way to follow matches, track every point, and check tournament progress across both men’s and women’s singles. Apple Sports now supports all Grand Slam and ATP/WTA 1000-level events. This gives users access to point-by-point coverage from the first round through to the finals.

Apple’s home screen redesign also makes it easier to track favorite teams and leagues. Matches are now grouped by league and sorted based on user preferences. This change helps fans find scores and updates faster, especially during busy tournament seasons.

As editors at Squredtech, we see this update as a clear push to make the Apple Sports app more useful, more competitive, and more aligned with how fans consume sports on mobile.

Apple Sports App Now Covers Live Tennis Scores

The Apple Sports app officially supports tennis coverage starting this week. Users in the U.S., Canada, and U.K. can now track live scores for all singles matches in Grand Slam and 1000-level tournaments.

The update allows fans to follow every point in a match, monitor player progress, and view results across all rounds. From the opening serve to championship point, users can follow their favorite tennis stars with instant, real-time updates.

Whether fans follow Novak Djokovic, Iga Świątek, or Coco Gauff, the app now gives access to full tournament brackets, match-by-match breakdowns, and final scores. This coverage mirrors Apple’s earlier additions like football scores and Live Activities, introduced last August.

At Squredtech, we believe this makes Apple Sports one of the few mainstream apps that offers tennis score tracking with full tournament-level detail, making it especially useful during Grand Slams.

Apple Sports Redesign Improves Team and League Tracking

Alongside the tennis update, Apple has redesigned the home screen of the Apple Sports app. Now, users will see games grouped by league and sorted in the order they prefer. This means fans can prioritize leagues like the NBA, NFL, or Premier League and see their favorite teams’ scores first.

Teams marked as favorites always appear at the top. The update removes the need to scroll through a full scoreboard just to find one specific match. For example, if you’re tracking the Lakers, Manchester United, or the New York Yankees, those scores now show up immediately on app launch.

Apple launched the Apple Sports app in February 2024 and quickly expanded its coverage. As of this writing, the app includes support for:

• Major Football Leagues: NFL, NCAA (FBS/FCS), Ligue 1, LaLiga, Serie A, LIGA MX, MLS
• Basketball: NBA, WNBA, NCAA Men’s and Women’s
• Soccer Tournaments: Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, FA Cup, League Cup, EFL Championship
• Hockey and Baseball: NHL, MLB
• Others: Bundesliga, NWSL

At Squredtech, we view this structure update as a smart move. By organizing content by league and preference, Apple solves a key pain point for sports fans—scrolling through irrelevant scores.

The Verdict: Apple Sports Is Finally Useful for Tennis Fans

With live tennis scores, a cleaner home screen, and coverage for more leagues, the Apple Sports app is no longer just a side project—it’s turning into a serious contender in mobile sports tracking.

Apple has made slow but steady progress with this app. After launching in 2024 and adding football scores later that year, the app now includes more than 20 major leagues and tournaments. The addition of tennis fills a gap that other apps like ESPN or Yahoo Sports haven’t fully addressed.

From Squredtech’s point of view, the biggest win here is speed and clarity. The app delivers live point-by-point updates for matches, while the new design makes it easier to keep up with your top teams and leagues.

Apple hasn’t confirmed whether other sports like cricket or Formula 1 are coming next, but if this trend continues, we expect broader global appeal soon.

For now, Apple Sports is available in three countries—the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.—and it’s free to use. We recommend iPhone users give it a try, especially during Wimbledon, where live scores are critical.
