How to look up current scores and game information with Siri
Siri makes it easy to keep up with games or to check in on a score for a game you may have missed. By default Siri will pull the score for the game currently going on or the last game a certain team played.
- Press and hold down the Home button to activate Siri.
- Ask Siri for the score to a game. For example: "What's the score for the Chicago Bears game?" or "What was the score for last night's Chicago Bears game?"
How to look up game schedules with Siri
Siri can give you a list of scheduled games if you just ask her for them. While some sports may show a few upcoming games, many sports, like football, will only show the next upcoming game for either a league or specific team.
- Press and hold down the Home button to activate Siri.
- Ask Siri for a team schedule. For example: "When do the Chicago bears play next?" or "Tell me when the next Chicago Bears game is" or "When is the next NFL game scheduled for?"
How to look up player statistics with Siri
If you're interested in who's playing and how well, Siri can tell you that too. Siri can even compare multiple players for you.
- Press and hold down the Home button to activate Siri.
- Ask Siri for specific player stats, or comparison. For example: "Does Matt Ryan or Jay Cutler have more touchdowns?" or "Show me stats for Jay Cutler."
How to look up league standings with Siri
- Press and hold down the Home button to activate Siri.
- Ask Siri about the league you want rankings for. For example: "Show me current NFL standings." or "Show me the standings for the MLB."
