Samsung Partners with Yahoo Media Group to Enhance Samsung News with Live Sports and Financial Market Updates
October 1, 2025 — Samsung is expanding the capabilities of its Samsung News app for Galaxy users by introducing live, real-time updates for sports and financial markets in its first major feature enhancement. This upgrade comes through a new partnership with Yahoo Media Group, the operator of Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance, aiming to deliver comprehensive, up-to-the-minute information within the Samsung ecosystem.
Seamless Access to Real-Time Sports Coverage
With the rollout of a dedicated Sports tab, Galaxy users can now stay connected to live scores, schedules, standings, and statistics from top sports leagues around the world. This feature allows fans to personalize their experience by following their favorite teams and sports, ensuring that every buzzer-beater and game highlight is just one tap away. The integration draws on Yahoo Sports’ decades of expertise and trusted coverage, providing both written and video content that enriches the user’s engagement with the latest sports action.
A Dedicated Financial Market Module for Market Watchers
In addition to sports, Samsung News now includes a specialized module powered by Yahoo Finance that displays real-time tracking of major U.S. stock indices alongside a curated stream of financial headlines. This module keeps users informed about critical market movements and economic developments, delivered through expert insights and breaking news sourced from a variety of leading outlets. The new financial features support users who follow market trends and investment opportunities closely, directly from their Galaxy smartphone or tablet.
Bringing Trusted Information Into One Place
“Galaxy users turn to Samsung News multiple times a day for the latest headlines from the world’s top news sources,” said Maya Harris, Vice President and Head of Strategic Partnerships for Samsung’s TV & Mobile Services. “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.”
Echoing this enthusiasm, Ryan Spoon, President of Yahoo Media Group stated, “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.”
Broader News and Customization Features
Beyond live sports scores and market data, Samsung News continues to offer comprehensive news coverage across politics, entertainment, business, and more. Users receive twice-daily Daily Briefings curated by experienced news editors, ensuring an engaging and informed experience. The app also supports extensive customization through its News Feed functionality, which features content partners including NBC News, ESPN, Fox Business, Complex, Time Out, and of course, Yahoo.
Availability and Compatibility
Currently available in English for users in the United States and Canada, this feature expansion is compatible with all Galaxy smartphones and tablets released from 2023 onward. Samsung plans to introduce additional language options and support for more territories in the near future.
