With the latest update of the Apple Sports app, beginning to release from today, Apple has integrated the capability to optimise the NCAA March Madness and now the app supports Major League Baseball (MLB) alongside various new features and improvements falling into existing features.

The latest update of the Apple Sport app, version 1.1, allows users to keep the record of both the men’s and women’s tournaments with the newly added NCAA March Madness.

The NCAA March Madness tournament is a single-elimination tournament for men's and women's college basketball teams in the United States. It is one of the most popular sporting events in the country, attracting millions of fans each year.

Upon updating the app, banners will start appearing on the top of the screen, promoting every active tournament. Additionally, users are now also able to tail their favourite MLB teams while following the league as a whole.

As per what Apple claimed, full data of the MLB leagues will be available on the app with the kickoff of Opening Day which is slated for later this month. The recent Apple Sports app update will also keep in sync users' favourite teams with the Apple News and Apple TV apps.

Provided by Apple, the release notes listed below comprehensively detail all the latest inclusions surfacing with the new Apple Sports app update:
