TNT Sports moves UEFA finals behind UK paywall
TNT Sports, owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, will introduce a paywall for the UEFA Champions League and Europa League finals in the UK for the first time. This marks a shift from previous seasons where these matches were available free-to-air. Users will need a paid subscription to access the content.
Key Takeaways
- Warner Bros. Discovery-owned TNT Sports is placing the UEFA Champions League and Europa League finals behind a paywall in the UK.
- This is the first time TNT Sports has required a paid subscription for UEFA finals coverage in the UK.
- Previous seasons made the Champions League and Europa League finals available free-to-air.
- The change affects the showpiece finals of UEFA, European soccer’s governing body.

Discovery using premium sports inventory to gate high-demand live coverage more tightly. The specific signal to watch next is whether TNT Sports applies the same subscription-only approach to other UEFA finals coverage beyond these two matches.
