I’m on the release candidate. Has anyone else on RC and who also uses Apple TV and the Apple sports app noticed that live activities for your teams no longer work?

I have not noticed, but I know I’ll be watching the WNBA game between the Indiana Fever and Las Vegas Aces tonight around 7 PM. I’ll follow up with you later this evening.

So there’s an option in the Apple Sports app for the games you’re following that said open in Apple TV and then once that happened you would see the option in Apple TV to follow live. Then it would start a live activity in the dynamic Island. It used to do this automatically for my Detroit Tigers, but no longer does and the follow live option in the Apple TV app is no longer there.

In regard to Apple TV, I can confirm the follow live option is no longer visible, and I am not seeing live score in the Dynamic Island. The “Sports Alert” app still displays live score in the dynamic island.

Thanks for confirming. I have been using the “sports alert” app for years but like to try what Apple has to offer. Maybe the Apple sports app will offer live activities in the future.

FYI: Starting with iOS 18 and watchOS 11, the Apple Sports app will offer Live Activities for all teams and leagues available in the app, according to Apple. Live Activities provides live scores and play-by-play information at a glance on the iPhone's Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island on newer models, and on the Apple Watch.

Apple added that Live Activities will no longer be available in the Apple TV app with iOS 18.
