Apple Sports App 4.6 Update: Adds Chinese Super League Support with Live Scores and Schedules
IT之家, November 13 — Apple's Apple Sports app was updated to version 4.6 on November 12, officially adding support for the Chinese Super League, so users can now follow CSL live scores and schedules in the app.

The update also introduces UFC content. According to the release notes, Apple Sports provides full fight cards for every men's and women's UFC event, with live updates across rounds and strike-zone heat maps. The soccer league lineup keeps expanding: besides the CSL, this update adds the Russian Premier League and the Swedish Allsvenskan.
IT之家 note: Live Activities is an iOS lock-screen feature that continuously displays dynamic information such as match scores without opening the app.
Apple Sports itself is positioned as a live score and statistics tool. Users can follow teams, leagues, conferences, brackets, and tournaments; the home view is personalized around what they follow, and widgets can be added to the Home Screen for quick access to scores and upcoming schedules.
The app integrates with other Apple services: sports information syncs while watching live events on Apple TV, and major coverage can be followed through Apple News. The app is free and available for iPhone models running iOS 18 or later; features require a Wi-Fi or cellular connection, and availability and features may vary by country, region, or device.
Judging by the pace of recent releases, expanding soccer league coverage is a direction Apple Sports continues to invest in. Version 4.5 on October 15 added Brazil's Série B, England's League One, England's League Two, the Norwegian Eliteserien, and the UEFA Nations League, and allowed users to view key statistics in Live Activities during match breaks.
Version 4.4 on September 23 added the top soccer leagues of Australia, Egypt, Israel, and South Africa, and introduced live tournament bracket tracking for tennis. Version 4.3 on August 17 and version 4.2 on July 20 likewise focused on expanding soccer leagues, with the latter also adding the ability to view starting lineups in most soccer leagues.
