All your existing sports content currently on Eurosport 1 & 2 will be available on TNT Sports channels 1 to 4. TNT Sports in the UK will become the new home for a host of live sports including Tennis, Cycling, Snooker and the Olympics. Any on-demand content currently in the discovery+ app is unaffected by this change. Thank you, Email from BT who I get phone and broadband with, I get free discovery via the app, reading this hopefully this will continue this season, so I can still watch the speedway via the app on my smart TV I have read again this morning that all Sport on discovery App is moving to TNT so situation is not clear after the Email you got ?? 15 hours ago, Neila said: We’re letting you know that from 28 February 2025, the Eurosport and TNT Sports brands will be brought together.

Everyone gets the app free, you'll still need to pay between £20-£30.99pm for sports though 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 I wonder if when the TNT execs heard that they also had speedway, they said... "Speedway? Is that still going?" 😀 Just like, it seems, about half the UK population... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be quite a shock, like others have said it's quite a nice Monday night air filler during the summer, interesting times, coming on the back of the loss of Cardiff it's not great times for British Speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJA Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 On 1/29/2025 at 11:50 AM, cowboy cookie returns? said: The best hope is that it ends up on quest, I’m certainly not paying additional monthly subscription to watch speedway on tv. If the truth be told I can’t see it being on TV anywhere once the current deal expires. We can definitely forget Sky the promoters certainly missed an opportunity with that golden goose & the sport is in a worse position then when Sky dumped it. Interesting to see how few fans are aware of the one hour highlights programme on Quest that is free to air on the week we have a live British meeting. Also I have to say I prefer the pre pack highlights programme as it features a higher proportion of racing to waffle and drops dull races so would appeal to non speedway fans more.

I'm sure I received an e mail saying I was getting the discovery app added to my subscription due to this new partnership. Is this not how it's TNT sports now?

coppinpr Posted Friday at 09:43 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:43 PM this all sounds a little unclear as yet , Discovery owns the rights to the GP's outright,and I watch the GP's on Discovery, not Eurosport, I've not seen anything about this changing, only that if you watch on Eurosport you now need to buy TNT, much better to go with discovery+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the Discovery+ app will still be an option in non UK regions? Maybe that and a VPN subscription would be the way to go?

Hackett Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago TNT Sports needs the Subscription fees to pay the Champions League TV Rights .. With the merger of BT Sports and Warner Bros it now means the joint venture will pay the rights costs of c. £305 million per annum, with £92 million paid in August 2024 followed by £153 million paid every February and August until February 2027. So zero concerns for the Speedway coverage or Eurosport and the thousands of viewers they may potentially lose. Simply hoping that a percentage sign up for the subscription and attract others through the access to the football. Speedway is unlikely to be featured on the TNT Sports channels most likely to be buried on the Discovery+ app or channels like last year.
