Signify, the firm behind Philips Hue, is launching a new Sports Live feature that connects lighting effects to real-time live sports data. The new feature arrives in time for the 2026 FIFA World Cup kickoff.
Sports Live brings real-time match sync to Philips Hue lights
The company says the new Sports Live feature started rolling out in May ahead of the full release this month. The feature allows smart lights to react to in-game moments to create a more immersive viewing experience.
Sports Live uses live match data to trigger real-time lighting effects for key moments such as goals, red cards and yellow cards, extending the action beyond the screen and into the home. Easy to set up and arriving in time for the world’s biggest soccer event of the year, Sports Live makes watching soccer at home feel more immersive than ever.
Signify adds that users are able to select a preferred team and assign color-changing lights to the Sports Live feature. From there, the feature works automatically without the need for specialized hardware or connecting other services.
