I am creating an UI in UE4 to show scores and such for a football match.

I just want to know if is there a way so that i can update those text fields in UI by parsing data from external DB and updating those text fields ?

Any sort of push to right direction is appreciated.

Couple ways todo it but in general you send a request to server (http, socket, etc.), the Server gets info from the Database and sends back a response with the Data. If the Response event fires read the Data and Update your Widget. You can try it with VaRest Plugin. VaRest in Code Plugins - UE Marketplace
