What is TNT Sports on Virgin Media?

TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport) is the home of European football in the UK. Following Warner Bros. Discovery's acquisition and rebrand, TNT Sports holds exclusive rights to the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League—competitions you simply can't watch anywhere else. For football fans following English clubs in Europe, TNT Sports is essential viewing.

Beyond European football, TNT Sports broadcasts 52 Premier League matches per season—a different selection to Sky Sports. This means completing your Premier League coverage requires both services. TNT Sports typically shows Saturday 12:30pm kick-offs, selected evening games, and marquee fixtures throughout the season.

Combat sports fans know TNT Sports as the UK home of UFC. Every numbered event (UFC 300, 301, etc.) and Fight Night card broadcasts live, featuring the biggest names in mixed martial arts. From Conor McGregor to Jon Jones, UFC action happens on TNT Sports channels.

The rebrand also brought Discovery+ integration—your TNT Sports subscription includes access to Discovery+ content, encompassing Eurosport coverage. This means cycling Grand Tours (Tour de France, Giro d'Italia), tennis Grand Slams, winter sports, and more. It's a significant expansion of the sports content available to TNT Sports subscribers.
