The fastest way to get live NRL scores

The fastest score isn't the one that loads quickest - it's the one you never have to go looking for. Put the live score on your lock screen and checking it takes exactly as long as glancing at your phone: zero taps, zero loading.

Why the usual ways are slow

Most people check NRL scores by unlocking their phone, finding an app or googling the match, waiting for it to load, then closing an ad or scrolling past the odds. Do that thirty times a game and you've spent half the match staring at loading spinners. Websites are slower again, and score push notifications buzz your phone all night while still making you unlock it for context.

Zero taps: the score on your lock screen

The score is already there every time you look at your phone.

Modern phones have a purpose-built answer: lock-screen live scores. On iPhone that's Live Activities (with the Dynamic Island while you're in other apps); on Android 16 and later it's Live Updates, with a live chip in the status bar. The score sits on your lock screen and updates silently in place - your phone doesn't buzz, and you never open anything.

Six Again takes it one step further with auto-start:

  1. Download Six Again on iPhone or Android.
  2. Follow your teams once - no account needed.
  3. That's it. The live score appears on your lock screen automatically before every kick-off and stays until full time.

The updates themselves are quick too - scores move within moments of the play, in the app and on the lock screen alike. The same live score also reaches your Apple Watch and CarPlay, which is even faster than reaching for your phone.

And when you do open the app, it's instant

Sometimes you want more than the score - the ladder, the worm, who's scoring. Six Again is built to be quick there too: it opens straight to your matches, and jumping between a live match, the ladder and the draw is instant, because everything is already there waiting.

Lock-screen live scores are free for your first 3 matches, then $9.99/year (AUD/NZD; other currencies vary). Live scores in the app, the live ladder and the draw stay free.

Stop refreshing. Start glancing.
