Considering this was a well publicised key feature for the s25 series and oneui7, it's very disappointing it still doesn't work. Like many people I have followed all the steps, updates etc etc and still doesn't work. Even factory reset and reinstalled every app. The most recent AOD update made no difference.

I case anyone has the same issue, I managed to get it working. The issue was on the Google side, despite subscribing to follow teams, Google has somehow marked sports updates under 'not interested' within search personalisation settings in the Google app. Once I removed this the scores appeared both in my Google discover feed and in the now bar.  You need to be seeing sports updates and team scores in your Google discover feed to know if it will show in the now bar. If you are not seeing them in your Discover feed then its an issue on the Google side

For me this does work and has done since I went into google settings and enabled my team to follow.

It appears top and bottom a couple of hours before a game.

That's the rub, seems to work for some. I think it's something to do with Google account settings and if you followed teams before upgrading to oneui7. I was following teams already and also using the 'pin live scores' setting in Google which automatically brings up scores in the same way as the now bar but on the home screen only. I have tried removing and re adding teams, clear Google app data, switching to Samsung browser from chrome, removing and adding Google account, but something is stuck between Google and Oneui

You mention you have followed all the steps.

I followed a youtube guidance... sorry I can't remember which one. But the following steps.

Added the Google bar to a homescreen and clicked on it to enter the Google settings.

Click on the sports and added who to follow.

Went into the Google account by clicking on my top right name / icon.

Went to notifications settings and allowed these to ne notified.

I believe that was all tbs steps that I followed.

Now every game my football team plays, within a few hours of the start time, I get a top and bottom bar appear... and remains until the day after.

I know there are many that dont seem to get these... so it is a bit strange that I do. 🤔

Sorry if this isnt helpful and you have followed all these steps already.

Isn't there a software update expected to fix this issue, Jeff Spinger on YouTube made a video a few days ago on this matter.

Hi @G-Shock 

I chose a uk football team to see if it worked on mine. 

This is what I see 👀

Daily Driver > Samsung Galaxy s²⁵ Ultra 512Gb ~ Titanium Black.

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.

For me, I had a few teams followed before. After I got the S25 Ultra, I added a few more teams that I follow. It wasn't working from day 1, but around a couple weeks in (15 February or so) I started noticing them on my Now Bar.

Quick update, turning on Google sports notifications didn't work either, so it's completely random if it works for some people. Don't bother clearing cache, deleting data, re-installing Google app, factory resetting your phone, I un-following sports teams, adding them back, signing out of Google account etc etc, I have tried everything and nothing makes sports scores appear. So don't bother wasting your time. If it's not working first time you try it, chances are it won't until Samsung/Google fix it !
