"TNT Sports will no longer show the Champions League in the UK from 2027. Instead, US broadcasters Paramount have won the rights to show Europe's most prestigious competition in the UK. The company have reportedly paid over 1 billion for the privilege, though Amazon Prime will still show a game every Tuesday from 2027 to 2031."
"TNT Sports (previously BT Sport) have held the rights for the Champions League for over a decade (Image credit: Robbie Jay Barratt - AMA/Getty Images) It means UK viewers will need to take out another subscription service to watch the Champions League, while the Europa League and Conference League will be shown on Sky Sports."
"The trend of moving away from traditional broadcasters towards streaming services continues with the new deal: Paramount provides a streaming service in the UK - Paramount+ - which costs 4.99 a month. They already broadcast the competition in the US, with the CBS Golazo show starring Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards and Kate Scott proving popular."
Paramount has won UK broadcast rights for the Champions League from 2027, reportedly paying over £1 billion. Amazon Prime will continue to show one Tuesday match each week from 2027 to 2031. TNT Sports, which held the rights since 2013 under BT Sport, did not match the bid and will lose the competition. UEFA secures higher broadcasting revenue compared with the previous £917 million deal. The Europa League and Conference League rights go to Sky Sports. Paramount will offer matches via its Paramount+ streaming service in the UK, reflecting a broader shift toward streaming platforms.
