If you’re a sports fan then you know having a blazing fast sports app, with oodles of information, and late-breaking news is a must. No matter where you are, you can always sneak a peek and catch up on all the scores and find out how your favorite players are doing in real-time.
When Turner Sports announced their NBA League Pass would be streamed on the Bleacher Report app it was just another very big reason to download it to your phone.
“The distribution of content continues to evolve and Turner has invested in creating and delivering premium, multi-platform experiences including our soon-to-be-launched B/R Live sports streaming service,” said David Levy, President of Turner. “Our long-standing partnership with the NBA has been led by a shared vision to provide fans with the most engaging experiences that match a wide variety of viewing preferences. This is a game-changing initiative to provide fans with personalized access to premium NBA content. From games on TNT and NBA TV or the volume of out-of-market games through NBA League Pass to the defining moments of a thrilling matchup with a compelling story arc, we’ll have it covered.”
Below, we will discuss the Top 10 sports apps and why they should have a place on your iPhone or Android.
- ESPN – It’s not surprising that the World Wide Leader in Sports would be on this list. If you’re into watching a graphic representation of the game as it happens then this app has what you’re looking for and each play is detailed as soon as it occurs. You can also get the real thing if it is streaming on any of the many ESPN channels.
- Bleacher Report – One of the leading sports websites has one of the best apps in the business. Whether you want the latest news regarding your favorite team or need the most recent scores for all of the games then the Bleacher Report app is for you. It also allows its users to program their favorite leagues and teams so they can follow every bit of news as it happens. Everything from the NFL to MMA is covered and it is a must-have for many of the Bleacher Report’s millions of fans. The best sportsbooks in the online world are often discussed on this platform as well.
- CBS Sports – This is similar to the ESPN app but there are a few wrinkles that might make it more attractive to sports fans. You can watch as many as eight games at one time which could be appealing for some but rather annoying for others.
- YipTV – This app is not solely sports-oriented but branches out to the world of entertainment for those who might want a reprieve from 24/7 sports. Many of the features are free to use but the premium subscription will only set you back $49.99 for the year.

- DraftKings – If you are into Daily Fantasy Sports or are in one of the U.S. jurisdictions where sports betting is legal then you can play to your heart’s content with the DraftKings sports app. You can set a DFS lineup one minute before putting in a three-team parlay in the next.
