    Ask Alexa for the scores you want to know. For example, you can say, "Alexa, what were today's scores?" This will give you the scores of any sports games that happened today or the current score of any games in progress. You can ask for a specific day, team or league as well as when a team will play next:
    • "Alexa, what were yesterday's MLB scores?"
    • "Alexa, how did the Diamondbacks do?"
    • "Alexa, give me the NBA schedule."
    • "Alexa, what's the score of the Knicks game?"
    • "Alexa, give me the NHL scores."
    • "Alexa, what is this week's NFL schedule?"
    • "Alexa, when is Liverpool's next game?"

    Ask Alexa for a personalized sports update. Once you've set up a list a favorite teams in the Alexa app, you can ask Alexa to give you a personalized sports update. Simply say, "Alexa, give me my sports update," and Alexa will report scores from the recent games as well as the dates of upcoming games for all the teams in your favorites list.
