TNT Sports

Which football competitions does TNT Sports show?

TNT Sports is best known in the UK as the exclusive home of all UEFA club competitions. These include the UEFA Champions League, arguably the pinnacle of club football, the UEFA Europa League, and the UEFA Europa Conference League. Across its linear and online platforms, TNT Sports shows every single game from these competitions each season.

TNT Sports also covers 52 Premier League matches per season in a rights deal that it shares with fellow pay-TV giant Sky Sports, streaming platform Amazon Prime Video, and free-to-air broadcaster the BBC.

On top of this, the network also has the right to air a limited number of matches each game week from the Italian Serie A.

TNT Sports’ portfolio makes it a must-have for any football fan based in the UK as it broadcasts hundreds of matches per season from some of the most-watched competitions on the planet.

The best TV packages to get TNT Sports

Multiple providers are offering various packages to get TNT sports and all of the fantastic football content it produces, including hundreds of the biggest live games of the season.

For instance, Virgin Media customers can add TNT sports to their existing deals via Virgin Media Stream for an extra £18 per month.

Meanwhile, existing BT/EE customers can watch TNT Sports on the discovery+ live-streaming platform for at no extra cost.

However, both of these packages and others like them require you to be an existing customer of these big media brands or sign up to become a new customer by getting a broadband and TV package, something you may not want or need.

Therefore, the best TV package option is simply to sign up for discovery+ and pay a total of £30.99 with no hidden costs or commitments to long contracts, internet packages, etc. You can cancel a subscription to discovery+ at any time and it carries all TNT Sports live channels, as well as a large library of its own entertainment and sports content.

Best TNT Sports Live Streaming Options in the UK 

Football fans in the UK can live stream the biggest games from the UEFA Champions League, Premier League and more by subscribing to the online discovery+ platform, which grants the user access to all of TNT Sports’ live channels.

The discovery+ app is available on a myriad of devices, including smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and more. Users can easily follow all of the elite football action they want, at home or on the go, with discovery+.

Can You Watch TNT Sports Using a VPN?

Fans from around the world who are not able to subscribe to TNT Sports, simply because they do not reside in the UK, could consider using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to access TNT Sports live streams, which may be a cheaper option than the ones they have at home.

Assuming you have checked the rules and regulations regarding VPNs where you are, and done your due diligence regarding the best VPN to go with, there’s little stopping you from accessing TNT Sports live streams.

Of course, you would need to subscribe to TNT Sports and purchase a VPN, but that combined cost could work out better than what you pay for your football TV options where you are.

Best TNT Sports Pundits and Commentators

Pros and Cons of TNT Sports

TNT Sports is a great option for football fans in the UK for several reasons. It is the exclusive home of the UEFA Champions League, which is reason alone to subscribe for most. It can be accessed at a reasonable price of £30.99 via the discovery+ app. You don’t need to sign up to a long broadband or TV bundle contract to get it.

The only real downside for TNT Sports when compared to, for example, key competitor Sky Sports, is that TNT Sports only shows 52 English Premier League games per year, far fewer than Sky does.
