About this app
Editor Reviews
Scores, headlines and alerts across the major North American leagues are the bread and butter of Yahoo Sports: Scores and News, the sports app from Yahoo. It covers the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, WNBA, college sports and soccer, and is aimed at fans who want to keep up with several teams from one place.
During games, the app shows live scores and stats updated in real time, play-by-play, win probability figures and in-game updates. Outside game time, fans can browse schedules, standings and box scores for professional and college leagues, watch post-game recaps and scroll a Key Plays feed of touchdowns, home runs, turnovers and other big moments. Newer additions include Milestones, which appear on MLB, NFL and college football game pages as a player or team nears a historic mark and can be claimed while it is happening, and Yahoo Shop, which collects points earned from activity such as game streaks and claimed Milestones. A refreshed profile rounds out the update.
Fans rate it very highly: 4.7 on average from 211,098 ratings, with 81% five stars and just 2% one star. It has 10,000,000+ installs. The app is free with ads and has no in-app purchases. It was updated on 2026-09-16, is rated Everyone 10+, and its Android requirement and version vary with device. We list 3 versions.
Followers of US sports who want quick scores and highlights in one feed will find it a solid pick. Fans of leagues outside its listed coverage, or anyone bothered by ads, may prefer another app.
