As expected, TNT Sports has today officially replaced BT Sport throughout the UK and Republic of Ireland. This follows the initial announcement back in February after the completion of a joint venture between BT and Warner Bros Discovery.
TNT Sports will still present the same premium live sports rights previously carried by BT Sport including the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Europa Conference League, Gallagher Premiership Rugby, Heineken Champions Cup, EPCR Challenge Cup, MotoGP, Cricket, UFC, Boxing and WWE.
TNT Sports is available across all major TV platforms offering a line-up of up to four TV channels (TNT Sports 1, TNT Sports 2, TNT Sports 3, TNT Sports 4), up to six digital or red-button channels (TNT Sports 5 to 10), TNT Sports Ultimate and TNT Sports Box Office HD.
We are hugely excited to launch TNT Sports across the UK and Republic of Ireland. TNT Sports goes live with a new and contemporary brand, a fabulous new and exciting line-up of talent, great value for viewers as well as flexible ways to buy and watch. From today, fans can watch TNT Sports in the same places they enjoyed BT Sport and without any interruption to their access. In addition, with TNT Sports now on discovery+ in the UK we can begin to deliver a simple and even more compelling offer that appeals to the whole household, combining more live sport together with entertainment. We believe this is an exceptional value proposition for fans offering a compelling combination of sport and entertainment that is unique to discovery+
TNT Sports via BT Sport Monthly Pass
TNT Sports will now be streamed on Discovery+, replacing the BT Sport app, under a new Premium plan. Priced at £29.99 per month (the same price as was previously charged for a BT Sport Monthly Pass), the new plan will combine TNT Sports, Eurosport and Discovery+ entertainment in one destination.
Customers who have access to the BT Sport App can continue enjoying TNT Sports via that app until it shuts down later this year, at which time you will need to make the switch to Discovery+.
TNT Sports via pay TV
Access to TNT Sports for existing BT Sport customers via BT TV, Sky TV, and Virgin Media will automatically commence from today, you won’t need to do anything differently. The price will be determined by the relevant provider.
BT TV customers who subscribe to TNT Sports will also get access to the Premium plan on discovery+, enabling access to TNT Sports, Eurosport and discovery+ real-life entertainment.
Those subscribing via Sky TV do not currently get access to the premium plan, though this is expected to be available soon so watch this space.
