TNT Sports' decade-long role as the UK broadcaster of the UEFA Champions League is set to end after a major shift in television rights. Reports indicate that Paramount+ has secured the majority of UK broadcast rights for the competition from 2027 to 2031, bringing an end to TNT Sports' association with Europe's premier club tournament.
The agreement comes after Paramount+ reportedly outbid TNT Sports in a six-season deal. Amazon Prime is expected to retain 'first-pick' rights to Tuesday matches, while most other games will move to Paramount+. TNT Sports has held the Champions League rights in the UK since the 2015-16 season, following its transition from BT Sport.
