The social network Threads is going to start showing live sports scores, starting with NBA basketball. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the initiative<\/a> and wrote that it\u2019ll be adding more leagues in the near future.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it works. During a game, just search for the teams and you\u2019ll see an up-to-date score. If the game is over, a search will bring up the final score. You can also find out when a game will start by searching for it ahead of time. This obviously resembles how X does things, as the platform began showing live sports scores back in 2017<\/a>, when it was called Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Each score is accompanied by the two team logos. Tapping on these logos redirects users to a conversation about that team. Threads, along with Instagram, recently decided to stop recommending political content<\/a>, so emphasizing sports is a decent way to capture the \u201creal time\u201d vibe of a hip and happening social network.<\/p>\n

To that end, Instagram head Adam Mosseri has been, sigh, courting NBA diehards<\/a> for months, calling the community of basketball fans<\/a> on Threads a \u201cgreat example of the kind of thing we hoped to see\u201d on the app. A Threads spokesperson told Engadget that \u201cbasketball has become one of the most popular topics\u201d and that \u201cNBA Threads has become one of the app\u2019s most active sports communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

This makes sense, as NBA discourse is also huge on X. NBA Twitter, as it’s still called in sports media, regularly drives coverage<\/a> and conversation about the pro basketball league<\/a>. It sure seems like Meta hopes to siphon away some of that influence. Apple also recently announced its own sports-related initiative<\/ins><\/a>. The first-party Sports iPhone app offers real-time stats for a number of major leagues, including the NBA, and throws up live score data on the lock screen during a game.<\/p>\n

Threads is all over the place this week. The platform introduced a new algorithm-tuning feature<\/a> that works by swiping left and right on posts and announced a beta test that lets users share content to Mastodon<\/a> and other fediverse services. The live scores feature is also in its testing phase.<\/p>\n
