SportsWise: Sports Explainer

New in this version: More sports and leagues — WNBA, cricket (T20, ODI, and Test), Premier League, La Liga, and five rugby competitions. Soccer, rugby, and cricket now have a league picker with an "All Matches" view that combines every league into one board. Plus smarter performance (the overlay now skips updates when nothing new has happened) and the overlay remembers where you dragged it. SportsWise: Sports Explainer turns live sports into something everyone can follow. Whether you are new to a sport, watching with family members who do not know the rules, or following a game in a second language, SportsWise adds a simple on-screen overlay that explains what just happened — in plain language, in real time, while you watch. You do not need to pause the game. You do not need to search the web. You do not need to already know what a double play, an offside call, a pick-and-roll, or a penalty kill means. SportsWise tells you, automatically, as the game unfolds. FREE AND PRO SportsWise is free to use — no account needed. The free tier includes live explanations, Ask Anything, and more, with daily usage limits. SportsWise Pro unlocks unlimited explanations, unlimited questions, and full game recaps across every sport, with a 7-day free trial. Monthly ($6.99/month) and annual ($39.99/year) plans available. HOW IT WORKS Click the SportsWise: Sports Explainer icon in your Chrome toolbar Select your sport and the live game you are watching Choose your explanation level: Rookie, Beginner, Intermediate, or Expert A small overlay appears on your screen and begins explaining plays as they happen Ask follow-up questions anytime using the built-in Ask Anything feature That is it. No account required*. No setup. Just open it and follow along. LIVE SCORE CARDS See today's games at a glance. SportsWise shows live score cards with team logos, scores, game status, and where to watch — right at the top of the overlay. Tap any game to switch to it instantly. Live games appear first, so you can jump straight to the action. EXPLANATION LEVELS Rookie Short, fun, simple explanations with zero jargon. Perfect for watching games with children or anyone brand new to a sport. Beginner Clear, friendly explanations for fans who are new to a sport or watching casually. Covers what happened, why it matters, and what comes next — without assuming any prior knowledge. Intermediate More detailed explanations that include rule context, strategy, and why a play was significant. For fans who know the basics and want to go deeper. Expert Coaching-level analysis — pitch sequencing, tactical reads, and the deeper strategy behind each play. For die-hard fans who want to understand the game like an analyst. TAP ANY PLAY TO EXPLAIN IT SportsWise includes a live play-by-play list. Scroll back through recent plays and tap any one to get it explained at your chosen level — not just the latest play. Scoring plays are marked so you can find the big moments fast. GAME RECAPS When a game finishes, SportsWise shows a recap — the final score and a plain-language summary of how the game unfolded — instead of a frozen last play. TAPPABLE TERM DEFINITIONS Confused by a term inside an explanation? Tappable words like "count," "offside," or "pick-and-roll" appear right in the text. Tap one and a plain-language definition pops up inline — no need to look anything up. ASK ANYTHING Not sure what just happened? Type any question into the Ask Anything box and get an instant plain-language answer. Or use the one-tap follow-up buttons — Why it mattered, Explain the rule, Explain simply, and What's next? — to ask common questions without typing. Examples of questions users ask: "What is a safety in football?" "Why did they call that a balk?" "What does it mean when the goalie pulls?" "Why did the ref blow the whistle?" "What is the infield fly rule?" "How does overtime work in hockey?" SPORTS SUPPORTED SportsWise currently supports live games from: NFL Football NBA and WNBA Basketball MLB Baseball NHL Hockey Soccer — MLS, Premier League, La Liga, and the World Cup Rugby — URC, MLR, Six Nations, Nations Championship, and Nations Cup Cricket — T20, ODI, and Test matches, with ball-by-ball explanations and finished-match recaps Pick a sport, then a league — or choose All Matches to see every league's games in one list. Coverage varies by season and competition. SportsWise pulls live play-by-play data and generates explanations automatically as new plays are recorded. WORKS ON ANY STREAMING SITE SportsWise is not tied to one streaming platform. Because it runs as an overlay in your browser, it works wherever you watch the game in Chrome. Just open the extension, select your game, and the overlay appears on top of whatever you are watching. CUSTOMIZABLE OVERLAY The overlay is designed to stay out of your way: Drag it anywhere on screen Resize it to fit your layout Minimize it to just the header when you do not need it Choose a dark or light theme Adjust the font size Change sport, game, and level right from the overlay Your settings are saved automatically so everything is exactly where you left it next time. To save resources, the overlay automatically pauses when the tab is hidden or left idle, and resumes when you come back. MULTILINGUAL SUPPORT SportsWise can deliver explanations in multiple languages, making live sports more accessible for international viewers, language learners, and families where not everyone speaks the same first language. Select your preferred language from the settings panel and explanations will be generated in that language automatically.
