New features deliver live scores, stock tracking, and financial headlines to Galaxy users in the US and Canada—powered by Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance.
A Smarter News Experience for Galaxy Users
Samsung is making its Samsung News app even more valuable by adding real-time sports and stock market updates, thanks to a new partnership with Yahoo Media Group.
- Available now in the US and Canada, this update transforms Samsung News into a live hub for sports fans and market watchers.
- The app, exclusive to Galaxy phones and tablets from 2023 onward, now offers personalized, dynamic content in real time.
Yahoo Sports Integration: Live Scores and Team Tracking
The biggest addition is a dedicated Sports tab powered by Yahoo Sports.
- Users can access:
- Live scores
- Game schedules
- Team standings
- In-depth stats for major leagues
- Fans can follow their favorite teams and sports, allowing Samsung News to tailor updates to individual preferences.
This turns Samsung News into a go-to destination for daily sports coverage—without needing a separate app.
Real-Time Stock Updates with Yahoo Finance
Alongside sports, the new Yahoo Finance module brings financial insights directly to users’ fingertips.
- Users can track:
- Major US stock indices (e.g., S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow Jones) in real time
- Breaking business headlines
- Market trends and economic updates
It’s a valuable addition for users who want quick financial context throughout the day.
Daily Briefings and Custom News Feed Still Included
The update builds on Samsung News’ core offering: twice-daily briefings and a customizable news feed from trusted partners.
- Users can still personalize their content by choosing:
- Preferred topics (e.g., politics, entertainment, health)
- Favorite sources (e.g., NBC News, Fox Business, ESPN)
- News is delivered in English, with more languages and regions planned in future updates.
This ensures the app remains both broad and personalized—now with live content to match.
A Growing Role for Samsung News
Maya Harris, VP & Head of Strategic Partnerships for Samsung’s TV & Mobile Services, emphasized the platform’s growing relevance:
“Galaxy users turn to Samsung News multiple times a day for the latest headlines… Now they have another critical reason to tune in for access to live sports scores and financial market updates.”
Samsung’s focus on real-time content highlights its vision of News as a daily utility, not just a reading app.
