Football fans will now be able to stay on top of the latest voice-activated updates from the 2018 FIFA World Cup with the launch of a dedicated new skill from SBS.
Amazon Alexa works as an in-home virtual helper, similar to Apple's Siri and Google Assistant, where users can ask questions and receive answers or access to media on request.
Those wanting to stay up to date with SBS coverage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup can set it as their default in Alexa's flash briefing.
Then if the user asks: "Alexa, what's the news?" they will hear the latest from the overnight matches, as well as a look ahead to the matches that evening.
The service is available via Alexa-enabled devices, such as Amazon Echo speakers.
