This release is all about getting American football right. Whether you follow the NFL, college football, or both, GameMaster now treats each sport and league the way it actually works — with cleaner separation, more accurate standings, and smarter handling of the off-season lull.
Football and college football, finally untangled
Behind the scenes, different sports sometimes share the same league IDs, which occasionally caused content to show up under the wrong sport or with the wrong label. We've reworked the Sports Hub so leagues are correctly separated by sport. NFL and College Football now live in their own distinct sections, basketball and hockey sit as clearly marked "Coming Soon" placeholders, and every link is sport-aware so you always land on the right league page.
More accurate league pages
League pages now carry the sport in the URL, which removes the ambiguity that came from overlapping league IDs. The result is more accurate league names and metadata, the correct season loading by default, and smoother navigation between schedules, standings, and team pages.
Standings that match how the sport is organized
American football standings are far more useful now because they're grouped the way fans expect. NFL standings break out by division across the AFC and NFC. College football standings group by conference, with the major conferences up top and the smaller ones tucked into an expandable "Other Conferences" section so the page stays readable.
A clearer off-season
When there are no upcoming games, an empty schedule isn't very helpful. GameMaster now explains what's going on — letting you know the season hasn't started yet and pointing you toward last season's standings in the meantime.
More complete team lists
Football team pages are now built from standings data, so the team list stays accurate even when the schedule is empty.
Polish throughout
A handful of smaller touches round things out: links preserve their sport context, football schedule cards use sport-appropriate wording like "Kickoff," and standings and team sections now surface information that's relevant to the specific sport you're viewing.
What changed
Sports Hub now handles football and college football correctly. The app previously mixed up some leagues because different sports reuse the same league IDs, which caused some football content to appear under the wrong sport or with the wrong label. The Sports Hub now correctly separates leagues by sport, shows NFL and College Football as distinct sections, keeps basketball and hockey as "Coming Soon" placeholders, and uses sport-aware links so users land on the right league page.
League pages are more accurate and easier to navigate. League pages now use the sport in the URL to avoid confusion when league IDs overlap, which improves league names and metadata, ensures the correct season is selected, and smooths navigation between schedule, standings, and team pages.
American football standings are much better. The standings view now works in a more user-friendly way for both pro and college football: NFL standings are grouped by division across the AFC and NFC, and college football standings are grouped by conference, with major conferences shown first and smaller conferences tucked under an expandable "Other Conferences" section.
Off-season football behavior is improved. When there are no upcoming football games, the app now explains why instead of looking empty, telling users that the season has not started yet and that they can still check last season's standings.
Team lists are more complete for football. Football team pages are now derived from standings data, which helps keep the teams list accurate even when the schedule is empty.
Small UX polish throughout. Links now preserve the sport context, football schedule cards use more sport-appropriate wording like "Kickoff," and standings and team sections now display more relevant information based on the sport.
