You've made 3 posts in 8 minutes on this thread but as you haven't tagged the name of the person you're responding to (by using the @ symbol)  it makes the thread very difficult to follow.

this really is so unfair for Irish customers. I pay for sky sports and the tennis channel and cannot watch Roland Garros. I signed up to TNT yesterday and still only have access to 3 matches at a time, no catch up or replay. The TNT app does not show matches only highlights and no matches on Discovery. Cancelling SKY as what am i paying for!

Not sure where you are looking @Brendan1905

@best+of+the+best 

As you can see from mine, sports tab option does not come up in ireland

 

Some sports documentaries are available (and giro highlights as these are on Quest too) but live sport, no.

The Premium Sports on Discovery plusis not available in Ireland, as tnt sports is distributed with Premier Sports currently.

If I try to access certain matches all I get is "please subscribe to TNT " I have subscribed through discovery plus !!!! Need help screen takes you arouynd in circles and no help through Sky to be found .................getting really p'd off now 😡

Hi @gaylyons if you have subscribed to TNT through Discovery+ have you clicked on the Disovery+ app to watch TNT or are you trying to use the channel select for TNT on Sky? 

[Dave2025]

FYI .  Discovery+ Sport is not available in Ireland. So TNT referring customers in Ireland to watch it on Discovery+ does not fly. They quite frankly can't be bothered to provide the same Roland Garros coverage to users in Ireland.

Sub cancelled and never coming back after this debacle.

Absolutely furious too! Got full sky pkg but can't watch it! Same issues w the IPL Qualifiers today! Two sky ch showing England -WI ODI!! Surely one can do the ipl? Really Sky is NOT worth it anymore!

For the tennis, having the full Sky Sports package is irrelevant as it's not on Sky Sports.

For the cricket, having the full Sky Sports package means you can view it on Ch 412

[Sue610]

It is relevant having sky sports because there is a dedicated Tennis Channel but sadly as we've all commented it doesn't include the French Open.

The current WBD-FFT contract for European rights signed in summer 2021 (by what was then Discovery Inc.) covers the 2022-2026 events.  No other platform gets even an option until bidding opens for the 2027 tournament and beyond.

It's also perhaps worth noting that 2024 is the first year of a half-billion pound WBD deal for a decade of Roland Garros rights in the USA.

But the grand slams are similar to  the football cup final race - the matches tennis fans are most keen to see.  If this had been the case a years back we would have missed the most important matches by the Big Four. 

Instead of Roland Garros currently, Sky is showing tennis in Hobart, Australia.

Please tell me I  not alone in my disappointment at the change.

Sky have never had rights to show Roland Garros (or Wimbledon for that matter). So in terms of your Sky Sports subscription nothing has changed.

The company that does have the rights to it has chosen to move it to a payable subscription channel, presumably to recoup some of the outlay.

As far as comparing it to the "football cup final" - also not on Sky Sports.

Back before international sports turned into a multi-billion dollar business, finalists took home millions of dollars and widespread access to online distribution became a thing?

As I've noted elsewhere, the French Tennis Federation has very happily taken half a billion pounds off TNT for a decade of exclusive RG coverage in the USA.

We have family in Italy who have Sky Sports and they get Roland Garros included.. so you're wrong . It is to do with Sky. 

[jonnoprice]

Same here.. we just signed up to Sky Sports assuming tennis like French Open included and feel completely scammed. Really sucks.

@jonnoprice The changes Warner brothers discovery made by merging Eurosport content into TNT sports applies to uk and Ireland only, the coverage in the rest of Europe remains unaffected hence why family in Italy are unaffected by the changes 

again nothing to do with Sky
