Hi there,
How are you?

My name is Klaus Kroif and I'm developing a mobile app that will provide info about NFL/NHL/MLB & NBA future and live games.
I was wondering whether I'm allowed to use the teams' logos in the app or not?
If the answer is no, how can I get permission?

Thank you!

The first step is to search the forum as the nearly exact same question has been asked at least twice previously. (Apps, info/scores, teams, logos)

FAR more than twice. :)

Here are just three of the many, many, many threads that deal with the laws involved in using professional team logos - to get kkroif started - with the first link a thread started by a Canadian poster (in case kkroif is a visitor from that country):

There are threads that are, perhaps, more on-point, but I am not quite bored enough yet to look for them.
