Apple’s Sports app receives an update that expands its soccer coverage beyond major tournaments. Multiple outlets report that the app is updated to version 4.2 and adds support for seven additional international leagues, including the Belgian Pro League, Denmark’s Superliga, the Netherlands’ Eredivisie, Japan’s J1 League, Poland’s Ekstraklasa, Scotland’s Scottish Premiership, and Switzerland’s Swiss Super League. The update also introduces or expands the ability to view match formations across most soccer leagues, allowing users to see starting-lineup formations for games.
The rollout timing is described as following the conclusion of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with at least one report noting it arrives shortly after the final. Apple Sports remains described as an iPhone-only app, with the version 4.2 update rolling out on iOS. Overall, the reported changes focus on making it easier for users to follow a broader set of soccer leagues and to understand match lineups through formations.
