This week, from 14-16 January 2025, every single Premier League game from the mid-week round of fixtures will be broadcast live on TNT Sports and Discovery+.
TNT Sports is the TV channel portfolio that used to be known as BT Sport, while Discovery+ is the streaming platform that serves as the online home for all TNT Sports content, with both brands owned by Warner Bros. Discovery.
For football fans in the UK, there's no better time to think about signing up. After this round of fixtures, the broadcaster will continue to show one Premier League game live each weekend, in the Saturday 12.30 GMT slot.
On top of that, it has the exclusive rights to the Champions League, Europea League, and Europa Conference League, and if that's not enough, then you also get action from Italy's Serie A.
Read on for our guide on how to watch football on TNT Sports and Discovery+.
Why are all the Premier League games this week on TNT Sports and Discovery+?
Unlike other countries, in the UK it's rare that every single game from a Premier League game week is broadcast live. That's because of the so-called 'blackout', designed to maintain stadium attendances.
However, what we're increasingly seeing is mid-week rounds of fixtures being shown in their entirety on the broadcasters with fewer rights than the leader, Sky Sports. Amazon Prime showed two full rounds of fixtures in December 2024, and now TNT Sports and Discovery+ will air every single game across January 14, 15, 16.
That's because TNT Sports' owners, Warner Bros. Discovery, negotiated a package of rights to 52 live games in the 2024-2025 Premier League season. With 38 'rounds' of fixtures in the season, and fewer weekend rounds, their standard one-a-week schedule leaves them with leftover games, and they have taken the opportunity to show every game from two separate game mid-week rounds.

How to watch TNT Sports: TV & Streaming
You can either watch TNT Sports on your TV, in which case you're looking at a long-term contract with a pay-TV supplier, or you can live stream the football online at Discovery+.
How can I watch TNT Sports live streams?
Discovery+ is the dedicated streaming platform for all Warner Bros. Discovery content, which includes TNT Sports and Eurosport. TNT Sports coverage is reserved for the 'Premium' subscription, which costs £30.99 a month. At present there are no shorter or longer term plans available.
The Premium subscripion automatically renews unless you cancel it – and even when you do cancel it, you can still watch TNT Sports until your existing 30-day viewing period expires.
The Discovery+ app is available on iOS, Android, Chromecast, Samsung Smart TV, Xbox One, Apple TV, Android TV, NOW devices, Amazon Fire TV devices, Roku players, and Sony PlayStation consoles. You can also watch direct on the Discovery+ website.
On top of the football, you also get live rugby, tennis, cycling, cricket, UFC, basketball, MotoGP and Formula E, as well as the Discovery channel, TLC< Quest, Really, and a host of documentaries and series.
All you need to do is head to the Discovery+ website and sign up for a Premium Monthly Pass to watch TNT Sports either on apps or online.
How can I get TNT Sports on my TV?
As well as streaming, you can also get TNT Sports through the medium of traditional satellite television.
All major pay-TV providers in the UK – including Sky, Virgin Media, and EE TV, will have the option to carry TNT Sports. Prices vary by provider, by the package you choose to take out, and by the offers they have on at any one moment.
When it comes to watching TNT Sports as part of a pay-TV deal, you will be entering into a long-term contract with the provider, so it's more of a commitment and less flexible than streaming through Discovery+.
How to watch TNT Sports from anywhere
If you’re outside the UK, then annoyingly Discovery+ will not work – the service is geo-restricted and will know where you are because of your IP address (boo!). That's not ideal if you've forked out for a subscription, but fortunately assistance is on hand.
A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a handy piece of software that can change your IP address to make your device appear as if it's back home. Provided it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, you can use a VPN to access your streaming services from abroad. It's great for watching football on the move, and you have the added benefit of VPNs being great for your internet privacy and security.
Our expert colleagues at TechRadar test hundreds of VPNs, and they rate NordVPN as the best VPN on the market right now.
Are there any deals or free trials for TNT Sports or Discovery+?
There are currently no deals or free trials for TNT Sports or Discovery+. It is very rare for this to be the case.
You can sometimes find offers for Discovery+ with third-party streaming services such as Amazon Prime, but note that this will usually be a basic subscription and not the Premium subscription you need to get TNT Sports content.
There is no free trial for Discovery+ Premium and no option to take out a day pass or an annual pass. Warner Bros. Discovery are confident with their £30.99 a month plan and not really budging on it.
If any offers, deals, or free trials do pop up, we'll keep you informed of them.
