Add as preferred source on Google

Manchester United games will be broadcast on a new channel in the UK next season as TNT Sports replaces BT Sport.

BT Sport will cease to exist from the summer as part of a rebrand. It comes after a merger BT and Warner Brothers Discovery.

TNT Sports is a broadcasting platform in the US, most associated with NBA games, and the group want a consistent brand across the Atlantic.

This will impact Manchester United games in the Premier League and in European competitions.

How to watch TNT Sports

Existing BT Sport subscribers will simply see the channels renamed as TNT Sport and the existing packages will continue. No pricing plans have been set.

The BT Sport app will also cease to exist and viewers will have to watch via the Discovery+ app instead, The Telegraph reports.

The channel will be the only broadcaster showing Champions League matches, a competition Manchester United are currently on track to qualify for next season.

It will also have exclusive Europa League and Europa Conference League rights, as well as a selection of Premier League games.

TNT Sport will also wrap in Eurosport to it’s brand, after the 2024 Olympics, adding to the channel’s non-football coverage.

A statement from the channel read: “The TNT Sports name is already synonymous with premium live sport in a number of countries around the world and a further sign of the global scale and expertise that Warner Bros Discovery brings to its partnership with BT.”

Manchester United fans in the UK can next season watch games on Sky Sports, TNT Sports, and Amazon Prime, while FA Cup games can also be selected by either BBC or ITV.

And even then, infuriatingly, we sometimes get incidents like twice in the past two months when games are not broadcast at all, like the Carabao Cup quarter-final and the recent Premier League evening game at home to Leeds.
