I wish there was a delay option like 30 seconds, 1 minute and 2 minute options, I get spoiled too often because it's always too fast.
Yeah that's happened to me as well. But yesterday's games did not. Hit and miss... still no haptic notifications when wearing the Apple Watch
I had issues with Live Notifications not automatically starting and displaying a Premier League match on my lock screen yesterday for a favourited team within the Apple Sports app, after working perfectly fine earlier in the week.
I had to manually follow the match to get it to display correctly.
I’m glad I’m not the only one with this issue. Hopefully iOS 26.0.1 will fix it.

Many of us had this same issue. It’s hit and miss for live activities across the board.
For me as well, version 26.0.1 does not fix the issue. I still don’t receive notifications for match start, goal updates, or match end in Serie A games, and there is no haptic feedback on the Apple Watch.
Same for me. But be sure when filling out Apple Feedback that you note that it's still broken with watchOS 26.0.2. 26.0.1 was a launch-day update only for the Ultra 3.
I also learned that in NFL games, I get a score on my wrist right before I see it on youtubetv, for example.
Another failed football match for me tonight with Apple Sports missing auto starting my teams Champions League match tonight.
I had to go into the app and manually follow the match, regardless of my team being starred under My Teams.
I really hope iOS 26.1 fixes this

I have the opposite problem where I’m getting notifications with almost no delay, and that spoils games because there is a slight delay on YouTube tv.
Yeah that happens. Don’t use live activities with an Apple Watch? My problem is also no haptic notifications during a game.
Is haptic notifications working with an Apple Watch? That's what doesn't work for me.
That as really crummy solution for everyone to have to do. Everything with Apple services tends to be actual work to make useable. Like iCloud maybe they’ll figure this out in a few years.
They obsess over stuff no one cares about like AI and VisionPro while they can’t even figure out basic push notifications.
I tried that and it didn’t work for me. Still no tap for scoring or begin/end of game events.
I'm not sure what's going on there. You're not supposed to have to follow each individual game. It should work automatically... emphasis on should based on this thread.
