Here’s a collection curated by The Associated Press’ entertainment journalists of what’s arriving on TV, streaming services and music platforms this week.

— In between Euro 2020 games this week, carve out some time for the new soccer documentary “LFG,” a revealing look at the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team’s battle for equal pay from Oscar-winners Andrea Nix Fine and Sean Fine. Debuting on HBO Max on Thursday, “LFG” features interviews with Megan Rapinoe, Jessica McDonald, Becky Sauerbrunn and Kelley O’Hara. Players past and present talk about making the decision to go up against the federation to get commensurate pay with their male counterparts and they do not hold back.
