Samsung and Yahoo Media Group Partner to Bring Live Sports and Financial Market Updates to Samsung News
Samsung has announced a significant enhancement to its Samsung News platform through a strategic partnership with Yahoo Media Group. This collaboration introduces live sports and financial market information directly within Samsung News, marking the first major expansion of its features for Galaxy users.
Real-Time Sports and Market Data in One Place
Starting October 1, 2025, Galaxy smartphone and tablet users in the United States and Canada can access instant, personalized updates about sports and financial markets thanks to the integration of Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance content. The new features include a dedicated Sports tab and a financial market module within Samsung News, allowing fans and market watchers to stay informed without leaving the Samsung ecosystem.
The Sports tab offers up-to-the-minute scores, schedules, standings, and statistics from top leagues, with options for users to follow favorite teams and sports for a tailored experience. Simultaneously, the financial market module presents real-time tracking of major U.S. indices along with a curated feed of financial news headlines from leading sources. This seamless access is designed to provide breaking headlines, expert market insights, and comprehensive written and video sports coverage.
Statements from Leadership
Maya Harris, Vice President and Head of Strategic Partnerships for Samsung’s TV & Mobile Services, emphasized the value of this enhancement: “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 enthusiasm 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.”
