Samsung and Yahoo Media Group Collaborate to Bring Live Sports and Financial Market Updates to Samsung News
October 1, 2025 — Samsung has announced an exciting partnership with Yahoo Media Group to enhance the Samsung News experience by integrating real-time sports scores and financial market information. This development marks the first major feature expansion of Samsung News, designed to deliver up-to-the-minute personalized content directly within the app for Galaxy users.
Seamless Access to Sports and Market Updates
Starting today, Samsung News introduces two new major features powered by Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance, both operated by Yahoo Media Group. Galaxy users can now enjoy a dedicated Sports tab and a financial market module, enabling instant access to live updates across their favorite sports leagues as well as key financial indices.
The Sports tab offers up-to-the-minute scores, schedules, standings, and statistics from top leagues, with options for fans to personalize their feed by selecting specific teams and sports. Meanwhile, the financial market module presents real-time tracking of major U.S. market indices alongside a curated stream of financial headlines from leading news sources. This makes it easier for users to monitor market movements and economic news all in one convenient location.
Trusted Expertise from Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance
As recognized pioneers in digital sports and financial media, Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance bring decades of authoritative coverage to Samsung News. Users will benefit from breaking headlines, expert market insights, and in-depth sports content—including both written and video features—delivered seamlessly within the broader Samsung ecosystem.
Maya Harris, Vice President and Head of Strategic Partnerships for Samsung’s TV & Mobile Services, emphasized the value these new features offer: “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.”
Comprehensive News Coverage and Customization
In addition to sports and financial updates, Samsung News continues to provide wide-ranging news coverage including politics, entertainment, and business through twice-daily Daily Briefings curated by experienced editors. Users can also customize their news preferences from a vast selection of content partners such as Yahoo, NBC News, ESPN, Fox Business, Complex, and Time Out via the News Feed functionality.
Availability and Compatibility
This latest update is currently available in English across the United States and Canada, with plans to expand to additional languages and regions soon. It supports all Galaxy smartphones and tablets released from 2023 onward.
