TNT Sports is moving its streaming service to HBO Max in the UK and Ireland next week, and is offering a discounted ‘saver plan’ for sports fans.
Customers who wish to purchase standalone online access to TNT Sports will be able to do so for £25.99 a month, provided they take out a 12-month subscription. This is £5 less than the currently monthly price of £30.99, which will remain the same after the switch.

This latest switch for cycling broadcasting marks the third time the sport has changed streaming service online in the UK in as many years. In late 2023, fans lamented the closure of GCN+, a platform that offered live, advert-free racing for £6.99 a month, or £39.99 a year.
Cycling was then moved to the Discovery+ platform, still priced at £6.99 a month, before it was placed within a broader subscription package following the migration from Eurosport to TNT Sports in the UK and Ireland in February 2025. This put the sport behind a £30.99 a month paywall.
Following ITV’s relinquishing of broadcast rights, this July will mark the first time in decades that the Tour de France won’t be shown on free-to-air TV in the UK.
