Watch BT Sport Free — TNT Sports Alternatives in 2026
BT Sport rebranded to TNT Sports in 2023 — but the price only went up. A standalone TNT Sports subscription through Discovery+ now costs £30.99 per month, and UFC pay-per-view events cost an extra £19.99 each on top.
There is a much cheaper way. IPTV gives you every TNT Sports channel, every Champions League match, every UFC event, all Premiership rugby, and every Sky Sports channel — from just £6.67 per month. No contract. Any device. This page shows you all your options, honestly.
What TNT Sports Actually Costs in 2026
BT Sport became TNT Sports, but the pricing did not get simpler. Here is what you actually pay depending on how you subscribe — standalone through Discovery+, or bundled with BT TV.
That is up to £1,560 per year if you bundle TNT Sports with BT TV and broadband — and you still need a separate Sky subscription for Premier League, F1, cricket, and golf.
What TNT Sports Includes
Champions League: All matches live, including finals — this is the main draw for most subscribers
Europa League: Every match live from group stage through to the final in Bilbao
Conference League: Full live coverage of every round
UFC: Every numbered event and Fight Night card, including PPV main events
Rugby: Premiership Rugby, Champions Cup, Challenge Cup, Autumn Internationals
MotoGP: Every race weekend live — practice, qualifying, and race day
Boxing: Selected cards including Queensberry Promotions events
WWE: Raw, SmackDown, and Premium Live Events
What TNT Sports Does NOT Include
Premier League: Sky Sports (128 matches), Amazon Prime (20 matches), TNT Sports (52 matches)
Formula 1: Sky Sports F1 exclusively
Cricket: Sky Sports Cricket, TNT Sports has no cricket coverage
Golf (majors): Sky Sports Golf
Snooker & Darts: Sky Sports, BBC, ITV — not on TNT Sports
For these sports, you need a separate Sky subscription costing £44+/month. With IPTV, everything is included in one plan.
Free Ways to Watch Champions League, UFC & Rugby
Before we talk about IPTV, here are the genuinely free (or nearly free) ways to watch some of the content that TNT Sports carries. They are legitimate — but they come with significant limitations.
BBC iPlayer
Shows: Some Champions League finals (shared rights), FA Cup (select rounds), Wimbledon, Olympics (2028)
Missing: No regular Champions League group stage, no UFC, no Premiership rugby
ITV Hub / ITVX
Shows: Champions League final (shared with BBC), some Europa League highlights, Six Nations rugby
Missing: Highlights only for European football — no live group stage matches
Amazon Prime Video
Shows: Selected Champions League matches (limited package), some Premier League fixtures
Missing: Costs £8.99/month and only shows a small fraction of CL matches — not full coverage
YouTube
Shows: Official UEFA highlights, BT Sport/TNT Sports clips, post-fight UFC summaries
Missing: Highlights only — no live matches, no live UFC events, no live rugby
The honest truth: if you want to watch live Champions League group stage matches, live UFC events, or regular Premiership rugby, none of these free options cover you. The free-to-air broadcasters pick up the odd final or highlights package — but for week-in, week-out live coverage, you need either TNT Sports or IPTV.
The Best BT Sport Alternative — IPTV
IPTV is not free — but at £6.67 per month, it is less than a quarter of what TNT Sports charges. And you get far more than just the four TNT Sports channels.
Everything TNT Sports offers, plus everything else
£6.67/month
That is £80 per year versus TNT Sports' £372+ per year
TNT Sports gives you four channels focused on Champions League, UFC, rugby, and MotoGP. That is a decent lineup — but it is only a fraction of what sports fans actually watch. You still need Sky Sports for Premier League, F1, cricket, and golf. You still need to pay £19.99 per UFC PPV event. And you still do not get the Saturday 3pm Premier League kickoffs that no broadcaster can legally show.
With IPTVJoy, you get 45,000+ live channels and 80,000+ on-demand titles. All four TNT Sports channels are included as standard, alongside every Sky Sports channel, Eurosport, ESPN, beIN Sports, and hundreds more from 200+ countries. Every UFC PPV card is included at no extra cost. Every Champions League match from the group stage to the final. Every Premiership rugby fixture.
The key difference: with TNT Sports, you are paying £30.99 per month for a narrow selection of sports. With IPTV, you are paying £6.67 per month for everything. No add-ons, no PPV charges, no second subscription needed. For a detailed look at Champions League coverage, see our IPTV Champions League page.

BT Sport & TNT Sports Alternatives — Frequently Asked Questions
The most common questions people ask when looking for ways to watch BT Sport or TNT Sports for free or at a lower cost.
Can I watch BT Sport for free?
BT Sport no longer exists — it rebranded to TNT Sports in 2023. TNT Sports is a premium service and there is no way to watch it completely for free. However, some Champions League content appears on BBC iPlayer and ITVX (usually just the final), and Amazon Prime has a small selection of matches. For full access to every Champions League match, every UFC event, and all Premiership rugby, IPTV is the cheapest option — starting from just £6.67 per month with IPTVJoy.
What is the cheapest TNT Sports alternative?
The cheapest way to access everything TNT Sports offers — and more — is through IPTV. IPTVJoy plans start from £6.67 per month and include all four TNT Sports channels, all Sky Sports channels, and every UFC PPV event at no extra cost. TNT Sports via Discovery+ costs £30.99 per month, and UFC PPV events cost an additional £19.99 each on top.
Can I watch Champions League without BT Sport or TNT Sports?
Yes. IPTVJoy includes every Champions League match — from the group stage through to the final — across all four TNT Sports channels and more. Amazon Prime also shows a small selection of Champions League fixtures, and BBC/ITV occasionally broadcast the final on free-to-air. But for every single match, IPTV is the most comprehensive and cheapest option. See our IPTV Champions League page for full details.
Can I watch UFC without TNT Sports?
Yes. Every UFC event — including numbered PPV cards, Fight Nights, and prelims — is included in every IPTVJoy plan at no extra cost. TNT Sports charges £19.99 per PPV event on top of the £30.99 monthly subscription. Over a year with 6–8 major PPV cards, that is £120–£160 saved on PPV alone. See our IPTV UFC page for more.
How do I cancel BT Sport / TNT Sports?
If you subscribe through Discovery+, open the app or website, go to your Account settings, select Subscription, and choose Cancel. Your access continues until the end of your billing period. If you have TNT Sports through a BT TV package, call BT on 0800 800 150. Check whether you are in a minimum contract period — early termination fees may apply if you are mid-contract. Your BT broadband is separate and is not affected by cancelling the TV package.
Can I keep my BT broadband if I cancel TNT Sports?
Yes, absolutely. Your BT broadband contract is entirely separate from your TV package. You can cancel TNT Sports or the BT TV add-on without affecting your internet connection. Many people keep BT broadband and switch to IPTV for their television — you get faster, cheaper TV without changing your internet provider.
