Decide whether convenience or spoiler avoidance is the aim
Following a club can make it easier to find that team, but a viewer planning to watch a replay may also want to avoid score information. These preferences solve different problems. Before changing the followed-club list, check whether the unwanted information is actually a displayed score rather than the presence of the club itself in the app.
Use Apple’s distinct controls
Apple’s guide describes following an MLS club from its club page or supported long-press menu. It says followed clubs sync to other devices using the same Apple Account. The guide separately directs users to turn off Show Sports Scores in the relevant app or iPhone and iPad settings. Following and unfollowing a club should therefore not be used as a substitute for reviewing the score preference.
Prepare the devices used before a delayed viewing
Suppose someone follows a club on the living-room television but checks the app on a phone before watching the match later. Review the score control on the relevant supported device rather than assuming the star beside the team hides results. Keep the club followed if quick navigation is still useful. Check other notification sources separately, since a preference in this app does not govern every sports website or message.
Avoid importing a global sports offer into the result
Apple cautions that sports and features vary by country, device and subscription. A followed-club icon does not grant event access or establish UK rights for a different competition. Confirm the actual replay and entitlement independently. The useful outcome of this review is the chosen score-display preference, not a promise that the viewer can avoid every possible spoiler across all their devices.

Does following a club switch score display off?
