Sports Alerts

Sports Alerts is possibly the most complete sports Widget out there right now. You can add Widgets for dozens of different sports leagues all around the world. The selection includes America’s biggest professional and college sports as well as soccer leagues from around the world (including the NWSL, which I’ve had trouble finding in other applications.)
The app offers two main home screen Widgets—one showing you today’s scores for any given league and another focusing on a specific team. You can add as many of these widgets to your home screen as you want, meaning you could in theory add multiple leagues for an overview. If you want to monitor an entire league without having to open an actual app this is the widget for you. There are also a couple of PGA-specific widgets for golf fans.

This is the only application I found that offers support for Live Activities, which show up on the iPhone lock screen before you even unlock it. Keep up with the game short of watching it, and live activities also show up in standby mode and even the dynamic island at the top of the display on certain phones.
Sofascore

Sofascore offers two main Widgets: a small one that shows you the score for the current game or a medium one that shows both the most recent game and the current and/or upcoming one. It’s not a lot of Widget variety, granted—it lacks the option to see scores from an entire league. But where Sofascore falls short in the Widget category it makes up for in the support of various leagues. You can find the big four American organizations, NCAA leagues, and even darts! If a sport exists, this app can give you a widget to track your favorite team and athlete in it.
