Personalize a scoreboard around your teams and leagues
Personalization starts by letting fans shape the scoreboard around the competitions they follow. The setup flow presents league priorities such as NFL, UFC, NBA, WNBA, the 2026 World Cup, and NCAA Football, so a user can rank the most relevant competitions before settling into the app. That approach keeps a crowded sports calendar from feeling like one undifferentiated feed and creates a starting point for score checks.
Team selection adds another layer of control. Search, sport tabs, and popular teams help users choose teams to follow. Favorite selections can guide the scores, stories, and alert stream, while location-aware choices may help surface nearby teams or games. The result is a personal scoreboard that works for a single league follower and for fans who move between several sports during the week.
Follow live scores with trackers and team detail
Once preferences are in place, the app works as a quick live-score dashboard. Fans can check game states, follow a matchup, and use game trackers or team detail to add context beyond a final number. Standings, statistics, matchup information, and timely updates make it easier to understand what is happening without opening a separate reference site or waiting for a full recap.
Following a team also turns the app into a lightweight alert system. Team pages and favorite lists keep recurring interests close, while breaking updates and score notifications can bring an important development back to the user's attention. This suits a quick glance between errands, a deeper check during a live contest, or a routine scan before work when several leagues are active at once.
Move from sports news to live video and highlights
Scores are only one route through CBS Sports. The Watch area connects events with on-demand highlights, previews, analysis, interviews, and video coverage. CBS Sports HQ and CBS Sports Golazo add continuous programming. Event pages can lead from a headline or score into a viewing session. The mix makes the app useful when reading is enough and when a recap is more helpful.
Personalized news and video recommendations make that mix easier to revisit. Fans can browse stories for their followed teams, open a highlight after a game, or look for a live event when a broadcast is available. Some coverage depends on a qualifying television provider or Paramount+ access, and regional rights can shape the choices shown. That distinction helps users understand why two events may offer different viewing routes.
Build a daily sports routine across Home, Picks, and More
Home gives the service a flexible daily rhythm. For You, Following, and Trending divide the opening feed into personalized, followed, and broadly popular material, while the bottom navigation separates Home, Scores, Watch, Picks, and More. A user can start with a fast headline scan, move to a live score, and then switch into a video or analysis path without losing the main sports context.
Beyond the core feed, Picks and More support recurring sports habits. Picks can bring prediction or fantasy-oriented material into the same routine, while More gathers account, notification, and preference controls. This layout suits both short sessions—checking a score on the way somewhere—and longer visits built around stories, matchups, highlights, and the next event on a fan's calendar.
