The Up Next row displays content you’ve already started to watch or plan to watch.
Shows and movies appear in the order you’re most likely to want to watch them. For example, when a TV episode is finished, the next episode automatically appears in Up Next. And if you’ve already caught up on a show, whenever a new episode becomes available, it immediately appears in the beginning of the Up Next row.
If your favorite sports team is playing on MLS Season Pass, Friday Night Baseball, or on an app you’re signed in to, such as ESPN, the live game in progress appears in Up Next. Alerts appear onscreen if the game is close so that you can quickly switch to the action. To manage sports notifications or turn live sports scores on or off, see Adjust Apple TV app settings.
If you have an iPad or iPhone and are signed in with the same account you use for Apple TV, your viewing progress and episode selection stay in sync in the Apple TV app on those devices. For example, you can start watching a show on your Apple TV and finish watching it on iPad, or vice versa.
