Samsung and Yahoo Media Group Collaborate to Bring Live Sports and Financial Market Updates to Samsung News
Galaxy users can now access real-time personalized sports scores and financial market insights directly within Samsung News.
October 1, 2025 – Samsung has announced a landmark enhancement to its Samsung News platform, introducing live sports and financial market information powered by Yahoo Media Group, the operator behind Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance. This new integration marks the first major feature expansion for Samsung News, significantly enriching the content experience for Galaxy smartphone and tablet users.
Seamless Access to Real-Time Sports and Market Data
From buzzer-beaters on the basketball court to rapid market fluctuations on Wall Street, Galaxy users can stay informed without leaving the Samsung ecosystem. The update introduces a dedicated Sports tab featuring live scores, schedules, standings, and detailed statistics from leading sports leagues. Fans can customize the experience by following their favorite teams and sports, receiving up-to-the-minute alerts and in-depth video and written coverage.
At the same time, a newly added Yahoo Finance module offers real-time tracking of major U.S. stock indices and broader market movements. Financial news and expert analysis accompany these data points, providing users a comprehensive stream of curated headlines from top-tier news sources. This makes Samsung News a convenient one-stop hub for both sports enthusiasts and market watchers.
Trusted Content from Established Leaders
Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance bring decades of digital media expertise to Samsung News, ensuring users receive accurate and timely information. Maya Harris, Vice President and Head of Strategic Partnerships for Samsung’s TV & Mobile Services, emphasized the value of this development:
“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 becomes a live destination for sports fans and market followers alike.”
Ryan Spoon, President of Yahoo Media Group, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration:
“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.”
More Than Just Sports and Finance
Beyond sports and financial content, Samsung News continues to offer daily briefings across multiple genres including politics, entertainment, and business. These briefings are curated by a team of experienced news editors and updated twice daily to keep users well-informed across diverse interests. The platform’s News Feed functionality allows users to personalize preferences with content from dozens of partners such as NBC News, ESPN, Fox Business, Complex, and Time Out.
