Eurosport will no longer be available on British screens next month and some sports fans face a huge price rise as a result. Warner Bros Discovery is changing where its output is shown and the programming currently on Eurosport will go to TNT Sports channels in the UK and Ireland.

Snooker, cycling and tennis are among the sports most widely shown on Eurosport, but they will switch to TNT Sports from 28 February. The change is set to cost fans of those sports a huge amount as the TNT Sports package is priced at £30.99-per-month.

Currently Eurosport is included in Sky TV and Virgin Media packages at no extra cost, while the streaming platform Discovery+ sets fans back £6.99-per-month. That will no longer be an option and to continue to watch live snooker, cycling and other sports, fans will have to fork out the full £30.99-per-month for the package which will include football, rugby, boxing, UFC, motorsport and others.
There are cheaper deals to be had through TV packages, with Cycling Weekly reporting: ‘Virgin Media customers, for example, can add it to their bundle for an additional £18 a month. Sky TV customers can do the same for an extra £30 a month. EE mobile customers can purchase TNT Sports as an add-on for £20 a month.’.
Warner Bros Discovery is set to launch its streaming service Max in the UK in 2026, with the price of that offering as yet unknown. The official announcement read: ‘On 28 February 2025, the Eurosport and TNT Sprots brands will be brought together, with all sports content available in one single destination via TNT Sports. This in turn means the discovery+ Standard plan & Eurosport linear channels are closing.’.
