Threads will show live scores to those who follow sports events
Meta’s microblogging platform Threads came to the fore with a new update this week. As announced by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the Threads app will now display live scores.
In his post on X (Twitter), Zuckerberg said, “Live scores are coming to Threads. @NBA is first and we will add other leagues soon.” He stated: Basketball has become one of the most popular topics on Threads, the company announced. However, NBA Threads is described as the most active sports community of the application.

A company spokesperson said the scores feature is now being rolled out to users as part of a test. The goal is to make Threads a better place for users to talk about sports and their favorite team.
Sports scores can be found in Topic Search before, during or after a match. Meta underlined that Threads will show the scores of more leagues in the future.
The live score feature of the application works as follows;
- Pre-game: You’ll be able to search for a game within a day of seeing the game’s start time.
- During the game: You will be able to search while the game is in progress to see the current score.
- Post-game: You will be able to call within a day after the end of the game to see the final score.
- Anytime: Tap on a team’s logo to be directed to a chat about that team and connect with others who follow them.
