Samsung and Yahoo Media Group Collaborate to Enhance Samsung News with Live Sports and Financial Market Updates
October 1, 2025
Samsung is elevating the user experience for Galaxy device owners by integrating real-time sports scores and financial market data directly within the Samsung News app. This marks the app’s first major feature expansion, made possible through a strategic partnership with Yahoo Media Group, the parent company of Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance.
This collaboration brings live, personalized updates on sports and financial markets to Samsung News, enabling Galaxy users to access their favorite content conveniently from a single platform. Whether monitoring buzzer-beaters in critical games or tracking market movers, Galaxy users can now stay informed with a simple tap.
Key Features: Live Sports and Financial Market Modules
The newly introduced Sports tab offers comprehensive coverage of top sports leagues, providing users with current scores, schedules, standings, and detailed statistics. In addition, fans can customize the experience by following specific teams and sports of their choice, ensuring tailored and relevant updates.
For those interested in financial markets, Samsung News now includes a dedicated Yahoo Finance module. This feature delivers real-time data tracking of major U.S. stock indices and other market indicators. Complementing these updates is a curated feed of financial headlines from leading news sources, keeping users well-informed on economic developments and market trends.
Trusted Content from Industry Leaders
With Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance’s decades of expertise in digital media, Samsung News offers highly reliable and authoritative information. Users gain seamless access to breaking headlines, expert market analysis, and in-depth sports content—including both written articles and video coverage—all integrated smoothly within Samsung’s ecosystem.
Samsung’s Maya Harris, Vice President and Head of Strategic Partnerships for TV & Mobile Services, emphasized the value of the upgrade: “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 is a live destination for sports fans and market followers alike.”
Ryan Spoon, President of Yahoo Media Group, expressed excitement 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.”
Broader News Coverage and Personalization
Beyond sports and financial updates, Samsung News continues to offer expansive news coverage across categories such as politics, entertainment, and business. The app’s Daily Briefings are delivered twice daily, featuring handpicked stories curated by a team of experienced editors.
Users also have the ability to customize their news preferences through the News Feed functionality, selecting from dozens of Samsung content partners including Yahoo, NBC News, ESPN, Fox Business, and new additions like Complex and Time Out.
