Samsung and Yahoo Media Group Collaborate to Enhance Samsung News with Live Sports and Financial Market Updates
In a move aimed at enriching the user experience for Galaxy device owners, Samsung has announced a strategic partnership with Yahoo Media Group to introduce live sports scores and financial market information directly within Samsung News. This marks the first major expansion of features for Samsung News, allowing users to access real-time updates seamlessly inside the app.
Starting October 1, 2025, Galaxy users in the United States and Canada can enjoy instant access to a newly added Sports tab and a dedicated financial market module. These features, powered by Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance respectively, provide comprehensive coverage including live scores, schedules, standings, and detailed statistics from leading sports leagues. Sports enthusiasts can further personalize their experience by following their favorite teams and sports.
For investors and market watchers, the revamped financial module offers up-to-the-minute tracking of major U.S. market indices and a curated stream of financial headlines from reputable news sources. This integration enables users to stay informed about critical market movements and economic developments without leaving the Samsung News platform.
Maya Harris, Vice President and Head of Strategic Partnerships for Samsung’s TV & Mobile Services, highlighted the significance of 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 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 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.”
Beyond live sports and financial updates, Samsung News continues to deliver wide-ranging news coverage including politics, entertainment, and business. Users benefit from twice-daily Daily Briefings curated by experienced editors and can customize their news feeds from a variety of trusted content partners such as NBC News, ESPN, Fox Business, Complex, and Time Out.
The update supports all Galaxy smartphones and tablets released from 2023 onward and will be rolled out initially in English for the U.S. and Canadian markets, with additional languages and regions to follow.
This collaboration underscores Samsung’s commitment to integrating trusted content and delivering a seamless, feature-rich news experience to its Galaxy user community.
