iOS 16.2 beta reintroduces live sports scores on iPhone's lock screen

iOS 16.1 will be released this week, which will include support for live events in third-party apps. However, Live Activities integration for select sports games via Apple's built-in TV app appears to have been delayed until iOS 16.2.

Live Activities integration in the TV app was disabled midway through the iOS 16.1 beta testing period, but in the first beta of iOS 16.2 seeded to developers this week Re-enabled it. iOS 16.2 will likely be released to the public around December, so as Apple promised, the sport feature should finally be available to all users later this year.

This feature allows iPhone users to view live sports scores at a glance on the Lock screen and in the animated island on iPhone 14 Pro models.

Taking the Premier League as an example, the dynamic island will have a real-time updated scoreboard showing the number of goals scored by each club. On a long press, the dynamic island expands to show elapsed time and play-by-play actions. All other iPhone models can display scores on the lock screen if iPhone 14 Pro is locked.

To test this feature using your iPhone on the iOS 16.2 beta, open the TV app and tap the Follow button for supported games. Apple says the feature is available for MLB games for users in the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Mexico, Japan, and South Korea, and for NBA and Premier League games only for users in the United States and Canada. The feature may be expanded to other sports leagues in the future.
