We’ve seen a few similar reports from users where Google Sports briefly appeared in the Now Bar but didn’t consistently return afterward. Since this feature relies on live notification data from Google apps, behavior can vary depending on how the app delivers updates and how notifications are handled (like clearing them manually).
If possible, try keeping the game’s live notification active (don’t swipe it away) and ensure both the Google app and Samsung Free/Now Bar are updated to the latest version. Also, enabling “Stay on Lock screen” for sports alerts in the Google app notification settings may help keep them visible longer.
We’ve shared this feedback with the relevant teams, but if the issue persists, please feel free to submit an error report through Samsung Members so we can take a closer look.
Appreciate your input and for being part of the Beta program!
