Samsung and Yahoo Media Group Announce Major Expansion of Samsung News with Live Sports and Financial Market Updates
October 1, 2025 — Samsung is enhancing the Samsung News experience for Galaxy users by introducing real-time sports and financial market information through a new partnership with Yahoo Media Group. This collaboration delivers a significant expansion of Samsung News’ features, making up-to-the-minute updates on sports scores and market developments available directly within the app.
Real-Time Sports Coverage with Yahoo Sports
Starting today, Samsung News users can access a brand-new dedicated Sports tab powered by Yahoo Sports. This feature offers live scores, schedules, standings, and player statistics from top professional leagues. Fans can personalize their experience by choosing to follow their favorite teams and sports, ensuring tailored news and updates that matter most to them.
Financial Market Insights Powered by Yahoo Finance
In addition to sports, Samsung News is rolling out a dedicated stock market module fueled by Yahoo Finance. This module provides real-time tracking of major U.S. financial indices, along with a curated stream of economic and market news from trusted sources. Users can stay informed about market movements and breaking financial news without leaving the Samsung News app.
Integration within the Samsung Ecosystem
Bringing these capabilities into Samsung News means Galaxy smartphone and tablet users (devices from 2023 onward) in the U.S. and Canada can now conveniently monitor live sports and market information in one centralized place. Updates are delivered seamlessly throughout the Samsung ecosystem, combining breaking headlines, expert analysis, and rich multimedia coverage.
Executive Perspectives
Maya Harris, Vice President and Head of Strategic Partnerships for Samsung’s TV & Mobile Services, emphasized the impact of this partnership: “Galaxy users turn to Samsung News multiple times a day for the latest headlines from the world’s top news sources. Now they have another critical reason to tune in for access to live sports scores and financial markets updates. With Yahoo’s trusted real-time information, Samsung News is a live destination for sports fans and market followers alike.”
Ryan Spoon, President of Yahoo Media Group, added, “We’re thrilled to partner with Samsung to integrate both Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance into the Samsung News experience. Together, we’re creating a smarter, faster way for Galaxy users to follow the scores, news, and market information that matters most to them.”
Additional News and Customization Features
Beyond live sports and financial content, Samsung News continues to deliver a broad range of daily news across genres such as politics, entertainment, and business. Daily Briefings, curated by a team of experienced editors, are available twice daily. Users can also customize their news feed preferences by selecting content from a variety of partners including Yahoo, NBC News, ESPN, Fox Business, and newer additions like Complex and Time Out.

This feature expansion is currently available in English in the United States and Canada, with plans to introduce additional languages and territories in the near future.
