Hidden code reveals that sports fans will soon get a cool new widget for their Android home screens،

Hello sports fan, Google is preparing a new home screen widget for Android phones and it will be connected to the Google app. Earlier this year, a new financial widget was offered to Android users who have the Google app installed (which is probably close to 100% of Android users). The widget allows users to track indices, individual stocks and even cryptocurrencies. This widget will be similar although it will display sports scores instead of stock prices.

9to5Google I found some “hidden code” while diving deep into the latest version of an Android app recently uploaded to the Play Store. Based on this “hidden code”, the sports widget will track the teams you follow and display their upcoming matches, current matches or past matches. Cards are used to display match score with date/time, score and league. Tap it and a graphical knowledge map in Google Search will open.

Users will be able to choose which teams to follow from a list on the widget settings page and recommendations will also be made for “games, teams and leagues based on search activity.” 9to5Google was able to activate the widget using beta version 14.49.38.29 of the Google app.

Search for a sports widget. You can choose a version occupying one column and a version occupying two columns. The two-column widget displays a game in progress at the top. The widget can be resized to cover the entire home screen. Information about a current game can be updated by tapping the upper right corner where it says “Last Updated”.

If you don't see the sports widget option, that means it's not available for you yet. Keep trying from time to time and hopefully you will finally see the Sports widget offered to you.
