Apple has rolled out another significant update to its free Sports app, expanding soccer coverage with support for seven additional leagues from across Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The latest version, 4.3, is now available on the App Store for iPhone users and continues Apple’s push to make the app a more comprehensive destination for global football fans.
The Apple Sports App updated with new competitions such as the Austrian Bundesliga, English Women’s Super League, Greek Super League, Indian Super League, Saudi Pro League, Spanish Liga F, and Turkish Süper Lig.
These additions come just weeks after a previous update in July that introduced seven other leagues, bringing the total number of new soccer competitions supported in the past month to 14. The edition also includes many 2026 Most Entertaining Leagues in Soccer.
Apple Sports App Updated, Expanding Global Coverage
Apple Sports has steadily broadened its football offerings throughout 2026. Following the conclusion of the FIFA World Cup, the company moved quickly to keep momentum going among soccer fans. The July update brought support for the Belgian Pro League, Danish Superliga, Dutch Eredivisie, Japanese J1 League, Polish Ekstraklasa, Scottish Premiership, and Swiss Super League, along with the ability to view team formations across most soccer leagues.
The latest round of additions strengthens the app’s presence in both established European markets and growing football regions. The inclusion of the Saudi Pro League reflects the increasing global interest in the competition, while the Indian Super League and Greek Super League expand coverage in Asia and southeastern Europe.
Fans of Turkish football will now be able to follow the Süper Lig more easily, and the addition of the Austrian Bundesliga fills another gap in Central Europe.
Particularly notable is the increased focus on women’s football. The English Women’s Super League and Spain’s Liga F join the app’s existing women’s competitions, giving users better access to two of Europe’s strongest domestic women’s leagues.

What the App Offers
Apple Sports App remains a free iPhone-only application that provides real-time scores, standings, schedules, statistics, and match details. Users can follow specific teams and leagues to receive updates, and the app supports Live Activities for tracking games in real time on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.
The formation feature, introduced in the previous update, allows fans to visualise starting lineups for most soccer matches. This addition has been well received by users who want a clearer tactical overview before and during games.
The app already covers a wide range of top competitions, including the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Champions League, Europa League, MLS, and many others across North America, Latin America and Europe. With the latest expansions, Apple Sports App continues to position itself as a convenient one-stop hub for scores and basic match information without requiring a subscription.
Timing and Context
The successive updates come at a strategic time. The 2026 FIFA World Cup generated massive global interest in soccer, and Apple appears keen to retain that audience by improving domestic league coverage once the tournament ended. By rapidly adding more competitions, the company is making the app more useful for fans who follow multiple leagues throughout the European and international seasons.
The inclusion of the Saudi Pro League is especially relevant given the high-profile players who have moved there in recent years. Similarly, the addition of the Turkish Süper Lig and Indian Super League reflects growing attention on those competitions.
Availability and Requirements
Apple Sports App is available exclusively on iPhone and requires iOS 17.2 or later. An internet connection is needed for live scores and updates. The app is free to download from the App Store and is available in more than 170 countries and regions.
Version 4.3 is currently rolling out and should appear for most users in the coming days. Existing users will receive the update automatically or can check the App Store manually.
Looking Ahead
Apple has shown a clear commitment to improving the Sports app’s soccer coverage in 2026. With two major league expansions in quick succession, the company is signalling that football remains a priority.
Whether further leagues or deeper features — such as more advanced statistics, video highlights, or additional women’s competitions — arrive in future updates remains to be seen.
For now, the latest release gives fans of the Austrian Bundesliga, Women’s Super League, Greek Super League, Indian Super League, Saudi Pro League, Liga F, and Turkish Süper Lig a more convenient way to stay updated through Apple’s native sports platform.
With domestic seasons across Europe and beyond now in full swing, the updated Apple Sports app lands at just the right time for iPhone users looking for quick access to scores and match details from a broader range of competitions.
