Google is readying a new sports widget for Android devices, this widget simply shows teams that you follow and their upcoming, live, or past matches. Games appear in cards with the date, time, score, and league. A tap opens the full Knowledge Graph card in Google Search.
In addition, there’s a one- or two-column UI, with the latter prominently showcasing a game at the top. The widget can be resized to take up your entire home screen. The edition of this widget will elevate the experience by providing quick glance at the sports activity.
Users can refresh the widget from the top-right corner where “Last updated” is noted, while the widget offers two views including Your games and Trending games. It also offers customization for recommendations of games, teams, and leagues based on search activity.
However, the sports widget functionality is currently under beta testing and will rollout to more users in the coming months.
