## The brief

Google announced football upgrades for Search on September 9, combining live game timelines, highlights and AI insights with richer player statistics. The initial professional-football feed launched on mobile in U.S. English. Fans can also connect Yahoo Fantasy or Sleeper accounts to AI Mode for roster-specific suggestions, including lineup and waiver decisions; that account-linking feature also launched in U.S. English.
