Samsung and Yahoo Media Group Collaborate to Bring Live Sports and Financial Market Updates to Samsung News
October 1, 2025 – Samsung Electronics has announced a significant expansion of its Samsung News platform, introducing real-time sports and financial market information powered by Yahoo Media Group. This marks the first major feature update to Samsung News, enhancing the experience for Galaxy device users by integrating live content from Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance directly within the app.
A Unified Destination for Sports and Market Information
With the new update, Galaxy users can now access a dedicated Sports tab alongside a specialized stock market module within Samsung News. These enhancements offer instant, personalized updates on sports scores, schedules, standings, and statistics for major leagues and teams, enabling fans to keep track of buzzer-beaters and key moments as they happen.
At the same time, the financial markets module delivers real-time tracking of major U.S. indices and curated financial headlines from leading news sources, providing users with comprehensive market insights in one convenient location.
Trusted Real-Time Content from Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance
Yahoo Media Group’s decades-long expertise in digital media ensures that Samsung News users receive accurate and timely information. The integration brings expert market analysis, breaking headlines, and in-depth sports coverage—including written articles and video content—seamlessly within the Samsung ecosystem.
Maya Harris, Vice President and Head of Strategic Partnerships for Samsung’s TV & Mobile Services, emphasized the value of the collaboration: “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.”
Expanding the Samsung News Experience
In addition to sports and financial updates, Samsung News continues to deliver comprehensive coverage across diverse topics such as politics, entertainment, and business. The platform’s Daily Briefings, curated by an experienced editorial team, provide users with twice-daily news highlights tailored to their preferences.
Samsung has also partnered with a wide array of content providers, including NBC News, ESPN, Fox Business, Complex, and Time Out, among others. Users can easily personalize their news feed to suit their interests.
Availability and Compatibility
The updated Samsung News features are currently available in English for users in the United States and Canada. Samsung plans to roll out support for additional languages and territories in the near future. The new modules are compatible with all Galaxy smartphones and tablets released from 2023 onward.
This collaboration reinforces Samsung’s commitment to delivering a comprehensive, user-centric news experience within its devices, empowering Galaxy users to stay informed on the topics that matter most—whether it’s a game-winning shot or a pivotal market movement—all in one place.
