iOS 16 Will Show Live Scores From NBA, MLB, and Premier League Games on iPhone's Lock Screen

Very cool. Too bad I have no interest in these sports.

Actually, I don't shiv-a-get about Live Activities will be available for NBA, MLB, and Premier League games.
Now, if they could have NCAA Football/Basket Ball.......

Live Activities will be available for NBA, MLB, and Premier League games in select countries

So there's a country somewhere that cares about MLB?

I’ll stick with the OneFootball app for Premier League scores.

Hope it has a live widget, too though.

Hope it has a live widget, too though.

Score notifications on iPhone and Watch and that's all I need to follow a game.

Hope this will be OPTIONAL … more background tasks draining the battery.

I’m finding that with all of the different sport’s fragmenting so that they are on (usually multiple) different services that I don’t follow any sport the way I did even a couple of years ago. Not sure I care about the score of a team that I don’t watch because it requires another subscription to different streaming service.

As long as this crap can be turned off, i'm good.

Yawn. Android has been doing this for many years. Nothing new and exciting here.

I have opened a topic (WikiPost) on Wednesday 10th of August as well for both 3rd party Live Activities and Lock Screen Widgets maybe interesting for some that that read this news. Would love to see it becoming a sticky topic
Please add apps for which you know it's part of the current TestFlight or announced by the developer on their site, Twitter, Reddit.

The biggest sport in the US is the NFL. Where is that at?

Curious considering that Apple is rumored to have won the bidding war for rights to stream NFL games in 2023.

looking forward to NFL games making it in.

This alert notification is perfectly done.

I don't know — stuff like red card/ejections would be good too, and would make what may seem like a potential blowout into an interesting remainder of a game. Something I may actually want to watch and not just follow, but I know everyone follows differently.

Hopefully they add the NHL app to the list.
