Samsung and Yahoo Media Group Collaborate to Enhance Samsung News with Live Sports and Financial Market Updates
Samsung has announced a significant expansion of its Samsung News service by partnering with Yahoo Media Group to deliver real-time sports scores and financial market information directly within the app. This marks the first major upgrade to Samsung News, offering Galaxy device users instant access to live updates powered by Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance.
Accessible Updates for Sports Fans and Market Watchers
Starting October 1, 2025, Galaxy users will find a new dedicated Sports tab and a stock market module integrated into Samsung News. The Sports tab provides up-to-the-minute scores, schedules, standings, and statistics from leading sports leagues. Fans can personalize their experience by selecting specific teams and sports to follow, ensuring tailored coverage of their favorite games and events.
The financial market module offers real-time tracking of major U.S. indices alongside a curated stream of financial news headlines from several top news providers. This feature enables users to stay informed about market movements and economic developments without leaving the Samsung News environment.
Trusted Real-Time Information Seamlessly Integrated
Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance bring decades of expertise in delivering authoritative sports and financial content. Their integration into Samsung News guarantees that Galaxy users receive breaking headlines, expert analysis, and comprehensive multimedia coverage within the familiar Samsung ecosystem.
Maya Harris, Vice President and Head of Strategic Partnerships for Samsung’s TV and Mobile Services, emphasized the value added by this partnership: “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 for 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.”
Expanded News Coverage and Personalization
In addition to live sports and financial updates, Samsung News continues to provide comprehensive coverage spanning politics, entertainment, and business. The service delivers twice-daily Daily Briefings curated by experienced news editors, offering users relevant headlines from a range of categories.
Users can customize their news feed preferences by selecting content from dozens of Samsung’s partners, including Yahoo, NBC News, ESPN, Fox Business, and new additions like Complex and Time Out, ensuring a personalized and engaging news experience.

This feature update is currently available in English for users in the United States and Canada, with plans to expand to additional languages and regions in the near future. The enhanced Samsung News service is compatible with all Galaxy smartphones and tablets released from 2023 onwards.
With this partnership between Samsung and Yahoo Media Group, Galaxy users receive a more integrated, real-time source for both their sports enthusiasm and financial market interests, all conveniently accessible within Samsung News.
