In an age of digital and mobile technology, and with demand for live-action sports and live updates increasing every year, sport outlets and other major market movers have invested significant amounts in their app offerings to bring you the best mobile sports experience available.
So, next time you’re on the move and your favourite sports team is playing, never miss a moment of the action with these great live score apps:
ESPN
We start with the ESPN app, which is one of the best-known and most comprehensive sports platforms in the world.
It also covers almost every sport present across the globe, from football and basketball to horse racing and tennis.
The ESPN app is particularly detailed, as it utilises a huge database to stream live scores and the very latest highlights to its users. All of the world’s major leagues and tournaments are featured too, from the NFL and the Premier League to global competitions such as the FIFA World Cup.
Available to download on both iOS and the Google Play store, the ESPN app also features and exceptional news feed that keeps you informed whilst on the move.
CBS Sports
Next up is CBS Sports, which is not as well-known as ESPN but still offers a constant stream of information to its user base.
Arguably, this app offers access to the fastest scores and news updates, whilst it also issues real-time Tweets in the form of push notifications through the platform.
CBS Sports also stream live action from an array of different sports, whilst video highlights are also available and regularly updated.
This app also enables you to create a custom feed, which contains the real-time news and information that’s related to your favourite team.
LiveScore
The LiveScore app is one for fans of detail, as it provides real-time updates that include everything from the latest goal scorers to any yellow cards that are issued.
As you can probably tell, this app largely focuses on football and provides in-depth coverage of various global tournaments. Other sports are featured too, however, so there should be something to keep everyone interested over time.
To get the best out of the app, simply tap the star icon present in front of any match on the feed.
This will provide you with access to the latest live notifications and real-time updates from the related league, whilst you’ll be able to review team news and the latest line-ups ahead of time.
New Sky Sports
Whether you’re an avid follower of cricket, football, F1 or any other major sport, your home screen would not be complete without the Sky Sports app.
Over the last 12 months Sky have really upped their game when it comes to their app offering; the new Sky Sports app features live scores, in-depth highlights and the latest news from dozens of sports. What’s more is that you can access in depth match previews, follow football acca tips from the resident football experts and you can even watch live action provided you are a Sky customer, or have the relevant Now TV package.
Yahoo Sports
No list of this type would be complete without Yahoo Sports, which offers a combination of highlights and original news in a neat and easy-to-use package.
The Yahoo Sports app is also similar to ESPN in terms of its range and depth of coverage, whilst you can also select your favourite teams and leagues to create a customised real-time news feed.
This app also provides some detailed statistics and news items, so you can follow your favourite team closely even during the close season.
