Score updates in live activities not working

I am having a tough time figuring out how to see live score updates on my iPhone. I have an iPhone 14 Pro. I went to News and followed several teams. Sometimes I see the Follow button in the TV app and sometimes I don't. For example, Michigan and Penn State are playing now. I follow both teams. I went to the TV app on my phone and the only button there is 'Open in'. What am I not doing correctly?

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hi there DExplore97,


Make sure you have followed the guidance outlined in the Apple Support article Follow your favorite teams with My Sports on iPhone - Apple Support, which details how to follow your teams and view information. Specifically, check out the following section on getting scores:


Show scores and schedules, highlights, and more

My Sports offers scores and schedules for your favorite teams, video highlights, and stories related to your favorite teams.

Scroll up to My Sports in Today, then do any of the following:

• Show scores and schedules: Tap Scores & Schedule, then tap the Schedule or Scores tab.

• Watch a live game: Tap Scores & Schedule, tap the Schedule tab, then tap Open in Apple TV next to a game. If the game is available in your area and you have the proper entitlements, you can watch it in the Apple TV app or in a supported app.

Note: Supported sports apps may require a separate subscription. Not all games are available in all areas.
•View highlights: Swipe up to the Highlights section, then tap the Play button in the thumbnail. Tap the More button to see more highlights.

Note: Highlights are available only for select leagues.

•Read sports stories related to topics you follow: Swipe up to For You, then tap a story. To see more scores and stories, tap More from My Sports at the bottom of the My Sports group.


When you go to the TV app to view games, you need to have a subscription plan that supports viewing live sporting events. This may be through your television provider, or directly through a particular television station/company. To get more information, see the Apple Support article Watch sports in the Apple TV app on iPhone - Apple Support


Cheers!
