Lynsey Hipgrave, Joe Cole and the giant Peter Crouch at Portman Road for Ipswich Town versus Liverpool in the opening game of the Premier League this season, for TNT Sports
TNT Sports has announced a strong line up of sport for the 2024-25 season, featuring a host of premium live sport.
Viewers joined Lynsey Hipgrave, Peter Crouch and Joe Cole at Portman Road for Ipswich Town versus Liverpool in the Premier League last Saturday, which marked the first instalment of 52 English top-flight fixtures that will be broadcast exclusively live on TNT Sports this season, including two full midweek match weeks.
In addition, the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Conference League will be available to fans via TNT Sports and discovery+. The new expanded UEFA Champions League format means viewers can tune in to more top-tier European football than ever before.
Speaking at a TNT Sports’ event this week, three-time Premier League champion Cole said: “The last football season was one of the best we’ve ever seen, but when I look ahead to this season, I feel like it could be even better. With so much talent across the board, the Premier League is without doubt the strongest league in the world, and I am excited to see what the new format of the Champions League is going to offer us. I just can’t wait for it all to get started.”
TNT Sports is also delighted to announce the renewal of the broadcast rights for Serie A Made in Italy in the UK and Ireland, with 76 live games shown across the season, starting with Genoa versus Inter at 17:30 on Saturday evening. Every Wednesday during the season, TNT Sports will broadcast a highlights programme showing every goal scored from the previous Serie A weekend.
Selected UEFA Women’s Champions League matches further supplements the vast range of live football coverage for fans to enjoy throughout the upcoming campaign. Also during the 2024-25 season, TNT Sports will screen one game a week from three of Europe’s domestic women’s top-flight leagues from, Division 1 (France), Liga F (Spain) and the Frauen Bundesliga (Germany).
The first Friday of every month will also see the release of new episodes of the second season of TNT Sports’ groundbreaking TV series, Sign Up – Into Football, a show aimed at raising the profile of the deaf community and elevating the visibility of British Sign Language (BSL) in sports programming. A brand-new football documentary about the rise of Worthing FC, The Club That George Built, will also premiere on TNT Sports and discovery+ in October.
Beyond the football coverage, the iconic Autumn Nations Series internationals will be exclusively live on TNT Sports and discovery+ for the first time, with all 21 fixtures available in the UK and Ireland throughout November. Also, for the first time, every single Gallagher Premiership Rugby fixture will be available on TNT Sports and discovery+. In another win for fans of rugby, a host of Premiership Women’s Rugby matches will also continue to be broadcast on TNT Sports, as will each round of the HSBC World Rugby SVNS series.
On the huge season of rugby coming up, Bath Rugby and Scotland fly-half Finn Russell said: “It’s going to be fantastic. On a domestic level, we can’t wait to get back out there at Bath and aim to go one better than last season in the Gallagher Premiership. Personally, I’m looking forward to soaking everything in at Murrayfield this November – playing for Scotland against the likes of South Africa and Australia at Home in front of our amazing fans will be one of the highlights of my career for sure.”
Fans of combat sports will also be treated to a myriad of mouthwatering fight cards. UFC events will continue to be a weekend fixture, while a fascinating new documentary about the history of mixed martial arts and cage fighting, titled Rise of the UFC, will debut next month. Signature nights of boxing from York Hall, including Nick Ball’s title defence at his homecoming fight in Liverpool, and titanic TNT Sports Box Office bouts, such as Anthony Joshua v Daniel Dubois for the IBF world heavyweight title at Wembley Stadium in September, will also be available for fight fans.
Motorsport enthusiasts will also be able to catch all the live action from the MotoGP and Formula E World Championships exclusively live on TNT Sports, while fans of American sports will be kept busy with over 250 live NBA games during the 2024-25 season, on top of Major League Baseball coverage.
Finally, followers of cricket will continue to be entertained by overseas international action from Australia and India, including England’s One Day International tour of the sub-continent during January and February 2025.
Scott Young, group SVP, content, production and business operations at WBD Sports Europe, said: “We are immensely proud to deliver such a fantastic range of sports to subscribers, the true fans of sport, in the upcoming season. TNT Sports will continue to take sports fans on the emotional journey of live sport, with epic moments from football, rugby, MotoGP, boxing, basketball and more. Our talented team of broadcasters and story tellers will have you on the very edge of your seat as another nail biting season of sport unfolds, because only sport can do this.”
