Narrative:

I was level at 2;500 MSL along ZZZ1 X route northbound under ZZZ class B airspace. Light haze; light to moderate turbulence and a strong 30 kt crosswind from about 220. I have flown this route several times. ZZZ controllers kept me out of B airspace which begins at 3;000 MSL as they always do. After crossing xyz I noticed bright lights of sporting field and thought about a possible tfr. I had foreflight running on my ipad but had accidentally disabled tfr layer. I switched on the tfr layer and found that I was in the middle of the airspace. I decided to remain on present heading noting that the sporting event was completely empty due to covid-19; not wanting to turn out to a large area of inland water; and realizing that I would clear the tfr in less than a minute on heading. ZZZ controllers with whom I was in constant contact did not advise of tfr nor did they seem to notice that I'd busted the airspace.I should have been more thorough on the flight briefing. Obviously I did not consider possible tfrs in my planning. Originally I had planned on flying around class B to the west but the winds aloft were quite strong and I realized minutes before departing that I could take the X route and cut 10-15 minutes off my enroute time. Additionally I had passengers aboard whom I thought would (and did) appreciate the scenic view of the X route at night. This caused me to change my route at the last minute. I had flown this route several times so I felt comfortable which led to some degree of complacency and corner cutting in my planning. I'm well aware that sporting events are common drivers of tfrs and I know about and have considered in the past tfrs in the area.
