Finally, you can manage both \u201cMy Leagues\u201d and \u201cMy Teams\u201d by tapping the \u201cEdit\u201d button from the menu on the top right corner of the app.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Once the corresponding matches start on June 11, Apple Sports will automatically display a Live Activity with real-time information about the game.
