Samsung and Yahoo Media Group Collaborate to Launch Live Sports and Financial Market Features in Samsung News
October 1, 2025 — Samsung has announced a significant enhancement to its Samsung News platform, introducing live sports updates and real-time financial market information powered by Yahoo Media Group. This marks the first major expansion of Samsung News’ features, aiming to provide Galaxy users with instant access to critical and personalized news content within a single app.
Integrated Live Sports Coverage
The update introduces a dedicated Sports tab in Samsung News that delivers up-to-the-minute scores, schedules, standings, and statistics from leading sports leagues. Users can customize their experience by following their favorite teams and sports, receiving live updates on buzzer-beaters and key moments. Yahoo Sports’ vast experience in digital sports media ensures that Galaxy users obtain trusted, expert coverage, including written articles and video content, seamlessly integrated into the Samsung ecosystem.
Real-Time Financial Market Insights
Complementing the sports updates, Samsung News now features a newly added financial market module powered by Yahoo Finance. This tool delivers real-time data on major U.S. stock indices and provides a curated stream of financial headlines sourced from reputable news outlets. Market watchers can keep pace with economic shifts and market movers without leaving the Samsung News environment.
A Unified Source for News and Updates
Maya Harris, Vice President and Head of Strategic Partnerships for Samsung’s TV and Mobile Services, emphasized the importance of this enhancement: “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.”
Ryan Spoon, President of Yahoo Media Group, also expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “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.”
Beyond sports and finance, Samsung News continues to offer comprehensive coverage across multiple categories, including politics, entertainment, and business. Users receive Daily Briefings twice a day, curated by professional news editors. Customizable news feeds draw content from Samsung’s broad network of partners such as Yahoo, NBC News, ESPN, Fox Business, as well as newer collaborators like Complex and Time Out.
Availability and Compatibility
This new update is currently available in English for users in the United States and Canada, with plans to expand to additional languages and territories soon. It supports all Galaxy smartphones and tablets released from 2023 onward, ensuring broad accessibility for Samsung’s user base.
Galaxy users can now enjoy an enriched news experience that brings live sports action and financial market insights closer than ever, all within the familiar Samsung News app. This collaboration between Samsung and Yahoo Media Group represents a significant step towards delivering timely, trusted, and personalized content tailored to the interests of Galaxy device owners worldwide.
