The scoreboard has officially moved into your car.
Apple quietly dropped version 3.10 of its Apple Sports app this week, and buried inside the release notes is something sports tech operators, fan engagement teams, and league technology officers should be paying attention to: CarPlay now has live sports score widgets
What Changed
The update delivers two new widget types for CarPlay's Dashboard screen: My Teams and Leagues.
My Teams tracks live scores and schedules for the franchises you've favorited inside the app. Leagues pulls real-time updates across the competitions you follow — MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS, NFL, F1, the Premier League, and more. You access them by swiping right on the CarPlay interface, and you configure everything from your iPhone under Settings > General > CarPlay > Widgets.
The setup takes under two minutes. The payoff is a persistent, glanceable sports layer sitting right alongside your navigation and music — exactly where fans have wanted it.
CarPlay gained widget support with iOS 26, and Apple Sports version 3.10 is the first sports app to fully leverage that infrastructure at scale.
The Bigger Signal: Apple Is Building a Sports OS
This CarPlay update doesn't live in isolation. It's part of a clear strategic pattern.
Apple Sports launched in 2024 and has been quietly expanding its footprint ever since — covering the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NASCAR, F1, Premier League, PGA TOUR, and more. Version 3.10 also adds F1 race-day weather conditions (track temperature, wind speed, rain probability) directly inside the app, and introduces early 2026 FIFA World Cup tracking tools ahead of the June 11 kickoff.
The product is evolving from a score aggregator into something closer to a sports command center.
