The apple tv remote keeps coming up on my lock screen and I don't really use my phone to control my apple tv. Is there any way to get rid of it automatically popping up? I even tried to forget device via my Apple TV but still did not work.

That’s not what I’m referring to. It looks more like this.
Turning the phone off and on again helped me.
How to fix 🤞
settings >
apps >
tv >
live activities >
toggle off allow live activities
Still didn't work. Not sure why it keeps popping up. I even put forget device for my iphone from the apple tv settings. I even turned off notifications as another user put it. It's rather annoying that it just keeps popping up every time I'm watching tv.
Nope, that doesn't work. Nothing works.
The remote control user interface always appears on the iPhone when streaming something on the Apple TV...
My elderly mom and my brother live in the same house, and both have an Apple TV 4k on the same network and Apple Family account.
She have already twice connected her iPhone to my brothers ATV, once turned his tv on late at night...
This is not good!
There just HAS to be a possibility to turn this feature off!!
The original post is about how to remove it from automatically coming up on the lock screen. The solution I described fixes this issue but does not inhibit the use of the Remote functionality on the phone when needed.
I may have just found a solution... This worked on my device (iPhone 15 Pro running iOS 18.0.1...)
After reading through this knowledge base I decided to try a manual restart on my phone in case it was a software glitch, and the Apple Remote left my Lock Screen upon restart.
Press and release: Volume Up, Volume Down; Press and Hold the Lock button until the device powers down.
Like I said, upon restart my Lock Screen was fixed. I hope this helps!

On the Lock Screen touch and hold on the screen to bring up the Customize option. Tap on the Lock Screen from the 2 cards you see, and then tap on the (-) sign next to the Apple Remote icon.
You can leave the icon blank, or touch it again to add a different icon there.

That's an alert. Not an icon. You should be able to swipe it to the left all the way to get rid of it.
Doesn’t work. I tried that as well.
I think I figured it out. You need to forget the device (iPhone) from the Apple TV. On the Apple TV, go to settings, remotes, select the iPhone and “forget” it.
Having the same issue. Restarting the phone seems to help clear the remote for me. At least temporarily.
Here is the solution:
Navigate to Settings, then...
General > Airplay & Continuity > Automatically AirPlay > Never
All I did was kill the app and restart the phone. It worked
This is the answer.
You're right that it is an alert but the alert only come when I use my apple tv remote or when I'm using my apple tv. As for the SportsCenter, that was just playing on my tv screen. I don't think it pertains to any notification from ESPN.
