TNT Sports to Integrate Eurosport Content in the UK and Ireland from February 28

TNT Sports has announced that starting February 28, all Eurosport live and non-live content will move to its channels and platforms in the UK and Ireland. This change will mark the end of Eurosport’s 35-year presence on UK screens, consolidating sports coverage under a single brand.

With this transition, TNT Sports will become the exclusive destination for a wide range of sporting events. Viewers will have access to major competitions, including the Australian Open and Roland-Garros tennis, Grand Tour cycling events, the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series, British and World Superbikes, snooker, and every major winter sports World Championship and World Cup event. Additionally, TNT Sports will broadcast the Olympic Games from 2026 to 2032, alongside existing coverage of the Premier League, UEFA European club football, Premiership men’s and women’s rugby, MotoGP, international cricket, UFC, and boxing. All content will be available on TNT Sports and its streaming platform, discovery+.

To ensure broader access to sports, TNT Sports will continue airing selected sports programming, documentaries, and live events on its free-to-air channel, Quest. The broadcaster has also been collaborating with UK partners, as seen in its recent partnership with the BBC for the Emirates FA Cup.

Scott Young, Group SVP, Content, Production & Business Operations at WBD Sports Europe, said, “Combining Eurosport and TNT Sports content in the UK and Ireland will enable us to offer a single, premium viewing experience for sports fans. This move in the UK and Ireland will also continue to best deliver value for our leagues and federation partners, as we continue our 35 years plus commitment to investment and championing of sport on our screens, which remains a fundamental part of the success of grassroots through to elite. TNT Sports will also continue to bring more content to fans on Warner Bros. Discovery’s free-to-air channel Quest. In 2025, this will include broadcasting every MotoGP Sprint race, adding to existing live Bennetts British Superbikes coverage, a brand-new weekly cycling show covering all key moments of the season, continue highlights of the Giro d’Italia and La Vuelta a España, plus premiere a range of new sports documentaries.”

Outside the UK and Ireland, Eurosport will continue operating under its current branding in over 50 countries and territories. UK viewers who want to continue accessing Eurosport’s content, a TNT Sports subscription will be required for £30.99 per month.
