I don’t know if this is do able, but would there be a way Home Assistant could communicate with your favourite sports team. For instance, if you team scores, or a game starts, then trigger an automation. In Canada there are the Budweiser game lights, but those are hard to come by and expensive.
There are a couple of python libraries out there. Maybe someone also interested will create it. I know I’m curious but I do not know python and home assistant enough for this.

Maybe use the RSS feed component as a trigger?
You. An also use the ESPN channel and IFTTT for this. Sending an event via the maker channel.
If you want to do game start you can add your team to your Google calendar and then use that integration to trigger on calendar entries. I was planning on setting up my Giants lava lamp to turn on whenever a game is on.

The rss or calendar idea is good. I’m mostly interested in the score update. I’d love to make an automation that is triggered when my favourite team scores.
Can you setup from some sports site to email you when your team scores? If so you could try using the imap email sensor. https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.imap_email_content/
