Play live content on Apple TV
Some apps on Apple TV include live video streams featuring content like news or sport. You can use Siri to jump straight to these live feeds.
Play live channels
Speak the name of the channel you want to watch, and the live video stream immediately begins to play.
Siri: Say something like:
“Watch ESPN”
“Turn on CBS News”
For a list of supported apps and countries, see the Apple Support article Ask Siri to watch live channels on your Apple TV.
Play live sport
Ask Siri about a sports team, score or schedule. If the game is available on a supported app, Siri takes you straight to the action.
Siri: Say something like:
“Next Eagles game”
“What ice hockey games are on?”
Select the onscreen Watch Live button to open the app and watch the game.
You can also ask about sport schedules in general.
Siri: Say something like: “Who’s playing baseball tonight?”
Siri shows you a list of all the relevant games, their start times and scores (if the game has already started), and a Watch Now button if a supported app is currently showing the game.
