The cheapest ways to watch TNT Sports on your TV or app
If you want to watch Premier League and Champions League football, Premiership Rugby, along with other sports, on TNT Sports, then you’ll need to sign up via your pay TV provider or use the Discovery+ streaming service.
Here are the best offers right now to save you cash.
What is TNT Sports?
TNT Sports is the new name for BT Sports. It now sits under the Discovery brand, though you can add just the TNT Sports channels to your Sky, Virgin and other pay TV services.
The channels are:
- TNT Sports 1, 2, 3, and 4: Available in standard and high definition, plus six red-button channels.
- TNT Sports Ultimate: Stream select events in 4K HDR and Dolby Atmos (with a compatible device).
- TNT Sports Box Office: Get pay-per-view access to exciting sports events (for both subscribers and non-subscribers).
You can read more via this link about what the change means for existing BT Sport customers.
TNT Sports Black Friday 2024
TNT Sports Black Friday discounts
TNT Sports hasn’t announced any Black Friday deals yet, but we’ll update this section as soon as it does.
A number of retailers have already started discounting goods ahead of Black Friday which we’re regularly updating on our main Black Friday deals page.
Get it via Discovery +
Discovery+ Premium for £30.99/mth
This new tier of streaming service Discovery+ gets you all the TNT Sports channels to watch via the Discovery+ app on your TV, smart stick, games console, computer, tablet or phone.
As well as the main TNT Sport channels you’ll also get Eurosport and lifestyle channels such as TLC, Quest and Discovery.
This is a monthly pass and you can cancel at anytime. This effectively replaces the old BT Sport monthly pass, though the difference is this will renew if you don’t cancel.
Get it via BT
Check if it’s already included
Some BT Broadband customers, usually long standing ones who used to get BT Sports for free, may now have access to the full Discovery+ Premium package for free.
You’ll be able to tell by checking eligibility here.
Add it to BT broadband from £20/mth
If you get your internet services from BT then you can get the TNT Sport channels for an extra charge each month by adding BT TV. The sports packages starts from £20 a month.
Though you can still watch via the BT Sport App you will need to move to the Discovery+ app in due course.
If you’re adding it to an existing BT contract then it could mean you start a new contract for all your BT services, possibly for 24 months.
Make sure you shop around for deals that’ll bring the price down, such as using cashback sites for an added bonus.
Watch the Champions League final for free (expired)
For the last five or six years, BT has shown the Champions League final and Europa League final for free via BT Sport’s YouTube channel and on the BT Sport website for free! So anyone could watch without paying.
The good news is TNT Sport is continuing this in 2024. You can watch for free via the Discovery+ app on TVs and devices. If you don’t have an account you will need to register, but there’s no need to pay for any of the packages.
The fixtures are:
- UEFA Europa League final (Bayer Leverkusen vs Atalanta) Wednesday 22 May
- UEFA Europa Conference League final (Olympiacos vs Fiorentina) Wednesday 29 May
- UEFA Champions League final (Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid) Saturday 1 June
Get it via Virgin Media
Virgin Media Stream/Flex: £18 per month
You can currently get TNT Sport channels for £18 a month via Virgin Stream, now rebranded as Flex (although confusingly, the hardware is still called Stream). It’s a 30-day rolling contract so you can cancel at any time.
However you do need to be getting broadband via Virgin Media and there’s a £10 one-off set up charge (this can often be haggled to zero if you call up).

Get it with your mobile
If your mobile phone contract is with EE you can buy passes to watch on your phone using the Discovery+ app.
There are add-ons that let you watch it via the BT Sport app on your TV or improve picture quality to 4K.
Check if it’s already included
Some EE and BT Mobile customers that got BT Sports for free may now have access to the full Discovery+ Premium package for free.
You’ll be able to tell by checking eligibility here.
£20 a month mobile pass via EE
EE customers can get access to the TNT Sports via a Discovery+ Premium pass that costs £20 a month. You need to text SPORT to 150 to start your subscription. You can cancel at anytime.

“Free” with EE Inclusive Extras
If you have a reasonably expensive contract with EE (via the Full Works plan) you can choose TNT Sports as one of your Inclusive Extras.
TNT Sports is probably the most expensive of the options, though alternatives include:
- Apple One Individual
- Google One Premium AI Plan
- Netflix Premium
- Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
Though there will be cheaper SIM deals out there, with EE or another network, it is much less than getting TNT Sports (and Discovery+) direct from the streaming service. The difference though is you’re committing to a 24 month contract, and prices will likely increase each spring with inflation.
Ultimately I’d say you’re probably better off shopping around for a cheaper SIM-only deal and getting TNT Sports as and when you need it.

How to watch TNT Sports on your TV
So how do you get these options on your TV?
Check for an app on your TV or smart device
You can watch TNT Sport on your TV if you have the Discovery+ app (and the right level of subscription).
This is available on the following (though check the full list here in case you have older incompatible models)
- Amazon Fire Sticks
- Apple TV
- Chromecasts
- Samsung & LG Smart TVs

Buy an HDMI cable
As long as you have a laptop with an HDMI connector, you can just buy a cable to connect to your TV. This should be the cheapest option – but I prefer the smart stick options!
Sport on other channels
You can also watch sport on Sky, Amazon, Eurosport and Premier Sports. Here’s my guide to the ways to save on each of them.

Hello, no need for an HDMI. The app renders the content to the screen.
If I get discovery plus app on my smart tv do I still need a HDMI cable to watch TNT Sports? What about having it on my tablet? I just want to ensure I understand correctly. Thank you.
