Warner Bros. Discovery has revealed Eurosport UK will be integrated with TNT Sports in the UK and Ireland from 28 February, leading to a price hike from £6.99 to £30.99 per month.
Since GCN+ closed at the end of 2023, British cycling fans have been able to watch professional bike racing via Eurosport and Discover+. But the integration with TNT Sports will mean viewers face a huge increase in subscription fees.
TNT Sports launched in 2023 and Warners Bros. Discovery Sports says moving professional cycling to the platform “creates a single destination for an incredible line-up of sport”.
Alongside cycling races such as the Tour de France, UCI Road World Championships and the UCI Mountain Bike World Series, subscribers will be able to watch tennis, snooker, the Premier League, UEFA European club football, rugby, international cricket and the 2026-2032 Olympic Games.
Warner Bros. Discover Sports’ Scott Young says: “Combining Eurosport and TNT Sports content in the UK and Ireland will enable us to offer a single, premium viewing experience for sports fans.”
Eurosport's channels and brands will remain unchanged in more than 50 other countries and territories where it’s available today.
As of 2026, ITV will lose the rights to broadcast the Tour de France. This will make TNT Sports the only destination to watch live cycle racing on TV in the UK.
TNT Sports says it will bring fans “a selection of compelling sports programming, documentaries and live sport on free-to-air channel Quest”.
There will be highlight shows of the Grand Tours and a new hour-long format called The Ultimate Cycling Show, hosted by Orla Chennaoui and Adam Blythe.
The news of live cycling becoming significantly more expensive to watch in the UK has prompted some to take to social media to announce cancelling subscriptions and express frustration at the decision.
Cycling YouTuber Benji Naesen said on X: “Warner Bros is getting more people into piracy than they've gotten people into actually watching cycling.”
Nick Meacham, CEO of Sports Pro, a sports media and events company, said: “This felt inevitable… Long-term, however, you do have to wonder as to what the future holds for the brand in other markets.”
