Samsung Partners with Yahoo Media Group to Bring Live Sports and Financial Market Updates to Samsung News
October 1, 2025 — Samsung has announced a significant enhancement to its Samsung News app by partnering with Yahoo Media Group to integrate real-time sports and financial market information. This marks the first major expansion of features within Samsung News, aiming to provide Galaxy smartphone and tablet users with instant access to live updates on sports scores and financial market movements directly within the app.
A Seamless Experience for Sports and Market Fans
Starting today, Galaxy users in the US and Canada can enjoy a newly introduced Sports tab and a dedicated stock market module powered by Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance, respectively. This integration means that fans no longer need to switch between multiple apps to keep up with their favorite sports teams or monitor financial indices — all relevant information is now just one tap away within the Samsung ecosystem.
With decades of expertise in digital media, Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance are well-established sources for real-time information. Samsung News users will receive up-to-the-minute scores, schedules, standings, and statistics from leading sports leagues. The Sports tab also allows personalization, enabling users to follow specific teams and sports to tailor their news feed.
Financial market enthusiasts will benefit from the Yahoo Finance module which provides live data on major U.S. market indices along with a curated stream of financial headlines from top news outlets. This combination offers both swift market snapshots and in-depth economic news, helping users stay informed as markets fluctuate throughout the day.
Statements from Leadership
Maya Harris, Vice President and Head of Strategic Partnerships for Samsung’s TV & Mobile Services, commented on the update: “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 market 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, also 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.”
Additional Samsung News Features
Beyond sports and finance, Samsung News continues to offer a broad range of content across genres including politics, entertainment, and business. Users receive Daily Briefings twice daily, curated by experienced editors to provide the most relevant and engaging stories.
The app supports extensive customization through its News Feed functionality, sourcing content from numerous partners such as Yahoo, NBC News, ESPN, Fox Business, and recent additions like Complex and Time Out. This ensures each user can tailor their news experience to their personal interests.
Availability and Compatibility
The new Yahoo-powered sports and financial market features are currently available in English for users in the United States and Canada. Samsung plans to expand language support and territory availability in the near future. The update supports all Galaxy smartphones and tablets released from 2023 onwards, providing a wide user base with enhanced access to live and personalized news content.
For Galaxy users seeking to stay informed about the latest sports highlights and market trends, Samsung News now offers an all-in-one platform that enriches the daily news experience with trusted, real-time data from Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance.
