Sports in the Apple TV app
The Sports screen in the Apple TV app gives you immediate access to a wide array of live and scheduled sports events, including Major League Soccer with MLS Season Pass, and Friday Night Baseball.
You can see games in progress with up-to-the-minute scores, or browse upcoming games and add them to Up Next. To turn off live sports scores, see Adjust Apple TV app settings.
You can also turn on My Sports to follow your favorite teams—get notified about upcoming events, see live scores, and go directly to games from Up Next. My Sports also lets you follow your teams across Apple News and other Apple apps on your iPhone or iPad. (On a Mac, you can see the teams you follow in Apple News and the Apple TV app, but you can’t set up teams to follow.)

Open the sidebar in the Apple TV app on Apple TV, select Sports, then explore featured games, or browse by sport or category.
To start watching, select a sports event in progress, then select Go to Game.

Follow your favorite teams with My Sports
Turn on My Sports to follow your favorite teams on Apple TV, see their games in Up Next, and receive notifications when they’re about to play.
If you’ve already set up My Sports in the News app on an iPhone or iPad, your teams automatically appear in the Apple TV app on Apple TV. For more information, see the iPhone User Guide.
When you’re signed in with same Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac, the teams you follow are shown in the News app and Apple TV app on all your devices. (You can’t pick teams to follow on a Mac; to pick your teams, follow them in the News app or Apple TV app on your iPhone or iPad, or on your Apple TV.) You won’t miss a second of action, even when you’re away from your Apple TV.
