How can I get TNT Sports?

The price and ease of watching TNT Sports depends largely on which broadband and TV provider you currently take services from.

TNT Sports for EE TV (formerly BT TV) customers

TNT Sports is included in EE TV’s Sport and Big Sport packages, as well as its top-tier Full Works subscription.

If you're not on an EE TV plan but have BT broadband, you can still subscribe to TNT Sports and watch it through the app or web player.

TNT Sports for Sky customers

Sky TV customers can sign up for TNT Sports, and if they get their broadband from BT, the same rule as above applies. Both companies know that many fans want access to as much sport as possible, so they make it quite easy to subscribe to both services.

However, you can't get a TNT Sports and Sky Sports package separately. You'll need to subscribe to a TV provider, then add either TNT Sports or Sky Sports to your plan.

TNT Sports channels on Sky:

• TNT Sports 1 – Sky channel 410
• TNT Sports 2 – Sky channel 411
• TNT Sports 3 – Sky channel 413
• TNT Sports 4 – Sky channel 414
• TNT Sports Box Office – Sky channel 490
• TNT Ultimate – Sky channel 493

How much is TNT Sports on Sky?

Currently, you can usually add TNT Sports to your Sky TV subscription for between £25-30 extra per month on a rolling 31-day contract, at the time of writing.

TNT Sports for Virgin Media customers

Virgin Media TV subscribers automatically get TNT Sports if they’re on either the Bigger Bundle or Ultimate Bundle, which includes broadband, TV and home phone. Otherwise, you can choose the TNT Sports Collection channel pack on a monthly rolling contract.

How can I get Sky Sports?

You can sign up for Sky Sports no matter who your provider is, and you can access Sky Sports either through a digital TV subscription or via streaming.

On Sky TV

The most comprehensive digital TV packages that include Sky Sports will be with Sky itself. You can add Sky Sports to your subscription for £21 per month on a 24-month contract (accurate at the time of writing).

The Sky Go app for smartphones and tablets lets you watch all Sky Sports channels you’re subscribed to while you're on the move. If you're not a Sky subscriber, you can watch Sky Sports in a limited fashion through the dedicated Sky Sports app.
