The latest prices of TNT Sports can be found in the comparison table above.
The TNT Sports pack includes the following dedicated sports channels:
These channels are all direct matches to the previous BT Sport channels, which were renamed to TNT Sports in July 2023.
TNT Sports has taken over all the rights and match coverage from BT Sport, including exclusive coverage of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League games, which they show live each season.
The current deal between TNT Sports and UEFA means TNT Sports is the exclusive home of these live matches until at least 2027.
TNT Sports also has the rights to 52 Premier League matches for the 2023/24 season, as well as 30 live FA Cup games per season, and 30 Scottish Premier League games.
TNT Sports has exclusive rights to 52 live Premier League games in the 2023/24 season, out of 200 total live matches.
The majority of Premier League games are shown on Sky Sports with 128 matches, and Amazon Prime Video will be showing 20 games.
Customers are likely to need minimum broadband speeds of at least 30Mbps to stream 4K content including TNT Sports Ultimate.
Sky TV also requires a minimum broadband speed of 25Mbps for HD content on Stream, and Virgin Media require a minimum speed of 50Mbps for their Virgin Stream service, although Virgin broadband will likely meet this.
TNT Sports may have a minimum term contract where it's included in a pre-made bundle.
However, where it's available as an add-on service to a pay TV deal, like with Virgin Media and Sky, the TNT Sports pack will often be made available on a rolling monthly basis.
It's also the case that BT TV customers can upgrade or downgrade their TV plan on a monthly basis.
The main difference between TNT Sports and Sky Sports are the events and fixtures shown. Each provider will have rights to broadcast different live matches, and so for the big games at least, they'll likely only be on either TNT Sports or Sky Sports, but not both.
TNT Sports is the exclusive home of UEFA football and MotoGP. They also have rights to 52 Premier League games for 2023/24.
Sky Sports on the other hand has many more Premiership games, with rights to 128 matches in the 2023/24 season. Sky also have exclusive rights to the entire Formula 1 season, and 92 Championship football games too.
Overall, Sky Sports has more sports events than TNT Sports, however it also costs more. So, TNT Sports is generally cheaper, especially when taken with a deal bundling TV and broadband from Virgin Media, BT or Sky.
