Champions League on TV UK — TNT Sports Schedule and How to Watch

The full UEFA package is on one broadcaster this cycle. Here is what that subscription actually costs and what it gets you.

Upcoming fixtures · next 14 days

TNT Sports is the sole UK rights-holder for the UEFA Champions League across the 2024-27 cycle. Every group stage match, every knockout tie, and the final each season are on TNT Sports or, for the secondary streaming-only matches, on Discovery+ Premium.

How the schedule works

In the new league-phase format introduced in 2024-25, there are eight match days in the autumn-to-winter group window rather than the old six. TNT Sports broadcasts two live games per evening on its linear channels (TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports 2 typically), and the remaining games are available on Discovery+ Premium via the “Multi-Match” feature.

A typical Tuesday or Wednesday in October to December will see:

  • One headline 17:45 BST kickoff on TNT Sports 1
  • Four 20:00 BST kickoffs running simultaneously, of which one is on TNT Sports 1, one on TNT Sports 2, and the rest on Discovery+ Premium only

Subscription cost reality

TNT Sports is no longer sold standalone in the UK — the only way to subscribe is via Discovery+ Premium at £30.99 per month, which includes the full TNT Sports linear package plus Discovery+’s own catalogue (motorsport, cycling, Eurosport content). The Discovery+ Standard tier at £3.99 per month does NOT include any TNT Sports content.

For a Sky customer, TNT Sports can be added to a Sky package, with pricing varying by region and contract. The typical Sky + TNT bundle is around £55-£60 per month.

What is and is not free this season

Zero Champions League matches are free-to-air in the UK in 2025-26. The BBC and ITV do not hold any UEFA club competition rights. Highlights packages on BBC iPlayer and ITVX are also absent — the highlights window sits inside Discovery+.

Final

The 2026 Champions League Final is on the final Saturday of May, 2026. Kickoff is 20:00 BST. The match is live on TNT Sports 1, TNT Sports Ultimate (4K), and Discovery+ Premium.
