TNT Sports on discovery+ review: What's included, how to access live sport, best prices, and more

Discovery+ is a subscription based streaming service available both in the UK and the US, that offers a mix of television channels and on-demand content, including plenty of sports if you pick the meatier deal. You can get access to all four of the live action TNT Sports channels (TNT Sports 1-4) and Eurosport channels with discovery+ Premium.

In case you hadn't heard, TNT Sports is the biggest rival to Sky Sports on the market, and in its short life has made waves in the sporting world. Formerly known as BT Sport, TNT Sport proudly boasts a growing catalogue of featured sports, from rugby to MMA (specifically UFC).

The main attraction of TNT Sports is its selection of live football. It boasts plenty of Premier League matches (there are 52 in total for the 2024-25 season and the same scheduled for the 2025-26 one), with TNT Sports showing Saturday lunchtime games as well as two complete weeks of midweek PL fixtures per season.

It's also home to a vast majority of the European football, specifically the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League. This encompasses everything from the first matches in Game Week 1 all the way up to and including the finals for each UEFA competition. Besides the handful of games shown on Amazon Prime Video, TNT Sports is the place to see a majority of each competition.

Two Eurosport channels are also included here (Eurosport 1 and Eurosport 2), so combined with the TNT Sports channels, there’s a pretty good selection. Throw in a variety of cooking, science and history channels on the platform alongside its sporting coverage, and TNT Sports on discovery+ shapes up as a strong and comprehensive streaming option.

Providing you sign up to discovery+ Premium, you get full access to all the TNT Sports channels. Alternatively, if you are subscribed to TNT Sports elsewhere - like with Sky, BT Broadband, EE TV (formerly BT TV), or Virgin Media for example - you can also access TNT Sports through the discovery+ app.

There are four main, live TNT Sports channels with some others alongside it.

The four main TNT Sports channels offer a number of live sports options, besides English and European football. Aside from the dozens of live matches, commentary, and analysis, viewers can enjoy a range of rugby, olympics, cricket, as well as exclusive access to popular US sports such as MMA (predominantly Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)).

The channels have live coverage of all the above sports as well as various highlights shows, punditry, and analysis. There's weekly scheduled shows and main events which can take place either monthly or during specific times of the year too.

For customers who sign-up, discovery+ includes the following other channels besides their extensive sport coverage on TNT Sports.

There are different packages you can sign up to for access to discovery+. 

You can also watch the finals of the Europa League (22 May), Conference League (29 May), and Champions League (1 June) finals here.

BASIC: The cheapest option is self-explanatory with its name. Previously known as Entertainment, the Basic package grants access to the entire on-demand catalogue, as well as 12 channels to watch live: Animal Planet, Discovery, Discovery History, Discovery Science, DMAX, Food Network, HGTV, ID, Quest, Quest Red, TLC, and Turbo. To clarify, this deal doesn’t give you any access to sports channels but is available monthly or annually.

PREMIUM: This one does exactly what it says on the tin, it'll give you a premium package at a higher price point that includes all of the TNT Sports channels and more. This will set you back £30.99 each month, with no option to lock in to a cheaper annual subscription. That said, the increased cost for the additional sports channels is in the same price band as its market rivals.

Note: discovery+ and discovery+ Premium is not available to people living in the Republic of Ireland or on certain devices such as Huawei android phones.

To give an idea of how competitive the discovery+ deals are, here are other ways to access the TNT Sports channels. It's worth noting that for straightforward TNT Sports access, getting it through discovery+ is the easiest and quickest option. Other ways require signing up for full TV subscriptions which, overall, will cost more and require a long-term commitment.

There are a number of compatible devices you can stream your live sport onto.

While it can’t quite compete with the likes of Sky Sports when it comes to its offering of Premier League football, it still provides 50+ live games each season and can brag about having comprehensive rights for the UEFA Champions, Europa, and Conference leagues, as well as an increasing library of on-demand content and a nice selection of other live sports and regular channels. It's a flexible option that offers different live sports, rendering it a considerable option for affordability as a plentiful subscription.
