You can also pull up the control centre and find the "Focus" button. I believe double tapping it turns on Do Not Disturb, if not if you flick down or up once to "Open Controls" and then double tap you can choose to turn on any focus you have set up, e.g. sleep, work etc. As Richard said, you can get very specific with focus options and apart from the few that are there by default you could set up your own and call it "Watching Sports" and then you could also allow certain apps or people to get through, e.g. if you wanted a particular person's phone calls or messages to get through you can do that. I have configured my Sleep focus to turn on at 11 PM with a 30-minute "wind down" time and to turn off at 7 AM. However, I have added my Mom, my brother and a couple of other people as well as the monitoring phone number of my store's alarm company to get through so if my Mom had some emergency at 2 in the night and she called I wouldn't blissfully be unaware. I also set up the Alarm.com app to deliver notifications as well as an app called "Aurora" which sendds a notification if there is a good chance to see the Northern Lights because my wife is from the Philippines and she has been here for 8 years and so far never has seen the Northern Lights. I don't always hear the notification tone, but hopefully one day I do and hopefully then it happens to be a clear night and hopefully it isn't -30 out because it's not so much fun to get dressed in the middle of the night when it's that cold and go stand outside hoping the Northern Lights are doing their thing.
