Narrative:
I had a possible unintentional tfr violation by clipping the corner of a sporting tfr in ZZZ. I assumed the tfr wasn't active due to covid-19 and there not being over 30;000 people in attendance in the event. I make my flight plans on foreflight and didn't see an active tfr in the area. However; I later realized I didn't see the tfr because I didn't have tfr's turned on on foreflight. I now have that setting turned on on my ipad. I will prevent another occurrence like this by making sure my settings are turned on properly and by being more diligent in my flight planning both on the ground and in air.
