Apple Sports App World Cup Features
No sporting event has produced more defining moments than the World Cup: Maradona's Hand of God in Mexico City, Zidane's headbutt in Berlin, Messi finally lifting the trophy in Qatar. This summer the World Cup arrives in the US for the first time since 1994, with 48 teams and 104 matches spread across 16 cities from Vancouver to Mexico City, and is widely anticipated to be Messi's last World Cup. Apple's free Sports app is designed to help you stay inside every match, every storyline, every upset. New features include a bracket view that tracks every team from group stage through the final, visual lineup formations showing each side's starting shape before kickoff, and Live Activities on the iPhone Lock Screen and Apple Watch so a glance tells you the score mid-match without unlocking your phone. It's free, ad-free, and a single tap connects you to live matches. Somewhere across those 16 cities, the next defining moment is already coming. This time, you'll know the second it does.
