Bringing Real-Time Information to Galaxy Users
The new update introduces a dedicated Sports tab and a specialized stock market module inside Samsung News.

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.”
Personalized and Comprehensive Experience
The sports section allows fans to customize their experience by following specific teams and sports, ensuring they receive updates tailored to their interests. On the financial side, the Yahoo Finance-powered module delivers not only market data but also a curated stream of related financial headlines from top news outlets, enabling users to stay informed of the latest market shifts and economic news.
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.”
Broader News Coverage and Customization
Beyond sports and finance, Samsung News continues to offer a broad spectrum of news content across categories such as politics, entertainment, and business. Users receive twice-daily Daily Briefings curated by experienced news editors, and can customize their newsfeeds with selections from a variety of trusted content partners, including Yahoo, NBC News, ESPN, Fox Business, and newer additions like Complex and Time Out.
Availability and Compatibility
This update is currently available in English for users in the United States and Canada and will expand to additional languages and regions in the near future. It supports all Galaxy smartphones and tablets released from 2023 onward.
With these new features, Samsung News further solidifies its position as an all-encompassing news and information app within the Samsung ecosystem, delivering personalized, real-time content that keeps Galaxy users connected to the sports and markets they care about most.
