The company is also rolling out new ways to track games and players in search.
Google introduces an update to Google Search that allows using AI mode as a fantasy football consultant. The new feature builds on AI Mode’s ability to connect to external apps for more context and is one of several new features the company is adding just in time for this year’s football season.
If you connect your Yahoo Fantasy or Sleeper account to Search, Google says AI mode can offer recommendations on a wide variety of fantasy football topics. For example, using the context of your live roster and the leagues you follow, it could suggest which starters you should pick or which free agents you should add to your roster. Depending on what you get out of fantasy football, it’s either useful or a chatbot does the fun part for you.

Google also makes it easier to stay on top of games as they happen. If you search for a game in progress in Search, a new “Live Game Stream” will show the live score, a recap of the game so far, and things like play-by-play updates and video highlights. Searching for matches or players can respectively display a carousel of scores from other league matches or up-to-date game statistics. And if you want to know a team’s odds of winning or who they’ll play next in a group, the company says search results can surface that information, too.
Google says Search’s new fantasy football and live game stream features are now available in English in the United States. Search results with the new score carousel and player statistics will be available worldwide on mobile.
