@PPrince1 The autumn internationals are exclusive to tnt so you will need another subscription

Thanks for your reply but TNT Sports says this...

"You can also watch TNT Sports through BT, EE, Sky, and Virgin Media."

Thats the confusing part

TNT state this on thier website and is the confusing part "You can also watch TNT Sports through BT, EE, Sky, and Virgin Media."

Yup - thats correct. You need to add the TNT Sports add-on to your Sky subscription, its separate from the Sky Sports add-on.

Or, if you don't have a Sky subscription, just subscribe directly to TNT Sports. You can download the app to any streaming device.

If you currently have a mobile phone with EE you can often add a TNT Sports sub for just £10pm.

Your options would be dependent on what you already subscribe to.

Tnt sports is available as an add on at additional cost on sky and the other services.

Unfortunately it's the choice of the event owners to take their product to market and look for the highest bid from competing platforms to secure broadcast rights.

@PPrince1 you can add TNT sports on a rolling 1 month contract through Sky for £30 which gives you access to HD and multscreen as well as updating the Discovery + app to the priemium app.

I've just done this and Sky have enen ended TNT sports from 01/12/2024 for me so i'm only paying for 1 month

England's non-6N home internationals were live on Sky (with various FTA highlights) since at least 2000 - with the other home nations shown live by the BBC.

In 2020 the broadcast rights across the six nations were pooled, and the November series went online-only for 3 years with no broadcast coverage of any sort.

The international rugby landscape is set to change dramatically from 2026 onwards, and all the media rights will be up-for-grabs. In the meantime, TNT Sports have taken over the UK & Ireland rights to the November series for 2024 & 2025. There was talk of a FTA package when the rights were first announced, but that has - so far - only extended to S4C showing Welsh-language coverage of the Welsh home games.

Sky is now officially a joke. In the likes of Australia, Nz, USA and South Africa, the top sporting events are all covered by the premium broadcasters. Id like to think that paying premium price for sky sports and "sky sports +" events like this would be included considering that I subscribe to the #1 broadcaster. It is criminal that they can get away with this and charge a hefty premium to continue to show lesser events and old school highlights to justify what we pay for. Sort it out!!! Provide us with international sporting events at a minimum. You should really provide moto Gp, URC rugby, premiership rugby and all football without any additional add ons. If this continues I will consider cancelling as they sign you up for lengthy contracts and chop and change what sports they cover!

By how much would you like your Sky Sports subscription to increase so that Sky can outbid, for example, Warner Bros Discovery Inc (owners of TNT) who aren't exactly short of financial resources themselves?

In the case of football, the rights owners simply won't sell all UK match coverage to the same platform.

It's getting ridiculous. I'm not even going to bother this year really annoying that they think people are going to sign up for 50 different Chanel's to watch things. I'm going back to pirating it.

@Andrew+gilmore not really a good idea to state you are going back to pirating on any forum as people now know you have previously been pirating programmes
