Samsung and Yahoo Media Group Collaborate to Bring Live Sports and Financial Market Updates to Samsung News
October 1, 2025 – Samsung has announced a significant expansion of its Samsung News platform through a new partnership with Yahoo Media Group, the operator of Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance. This collaboration introduces live, real-time sports scores and financial market information directly within the Samsung News app, marking its first major feature upgrade to enhance user engagement and convenience.
Seamless Access to Real-Time Sports and Finance Content
Galaxy smartphone and tablet users can now access a newly added Sports tab and a dedicated stock market module powered by Yahoo’s trusted resources. This integration allows users to receive instant updates on sports events — including live scores, schedules, standings, and detailed statistics — along with personalized options to follow favorite teams and specific sports. Simultaneously, a Yahoo Finance module offers real-time tracking of major U.S. financial indices and market movements, supplemented by curated financial news headlines from reputable sources.
“Maya Harris, Vice President and Head of Strategic Partnerships for Samsung’s TV & Mobile Services, highlighted the convenience this brings: ‘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.’ She emphasized that the collaboration with Yahoo enriches Samsung News as a dynamic destination for both sports fans and market enthusiasts within the Samsung ecosystem.”
Benefits of Yahoo’s Expertise and Content
Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance bring decades of experience as authoritative digital media brands in their respective sectors. Ryan Spoon, President of Yahoo Media Group, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: “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.”
Comprehensive News Access and Personalization
Beyond sports and financial markets, Samsung News continues to provide a wide array of content spanning politics, entertainment, business, and more. Users benefit from twice-daily Daily Briefings curated by skilled news editors and can tailor their news feed preferences. Available content includes contributions from Samsung’s existing partners like NBC News, ESPN, Fox Business, and new additions such as Complex and Time Out.
Availability and Compatibility
The new features are available starting today in English for users based in the United States and Canada. Samsung plans to expand language support and geographic availability in the near future. All Galaxy smartphones and tablets released from 2023 onward are compatible with the enhanced Samsung News experience.
This partnership reinforces Samsung’s commitment to delivering timely, reliable information that enhances the daily lives of Galaxy device users, consolidating essential sports and financial updates into one convenient platform.
