How to Watch TNT Sports on Sony Smart TV

by

It’s a fun time to be a football fan, with a number of exciting Premier League games, along with the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, Europa Conference League, Ligue 1, and Serie A slated over the coming months. You can enjoy all these football competitions and several other sports on TNT Sports alone.

We don’t blame if you haven’t kept up with the news around TNT Sports recently. Last year, BT Group formed a joint venture with Warner Bros. Discovery, resulting in the recent rebranding of BT Sport as TNT Sports. It’s also to subsume WBD’s Eurosport UK channels by early 2026.

For pay-TV customers, only the channel name changes, but there are plenty of notable changes on the streaming side. If you’ve been wondering where and how to watch TNT Sports on Sony Smart TV, you’ve found yourself at the right place. Continue reading as we unpack all the details.

Discovery+ is Now Streaming TNT Sports

Warner Bros. Discovery-owned Discovery+, one of the UK’s most popular video-on-demand apps that provide factual, lifestyle, true crime, and reality programming and is the streaming home of Eurosport, is now hosting TNT Sports.

Discovery+ has been offering live sports content from Eurosport for a while now with their Entertainment & Sport subscription plan. The portfolio only gets bigger with TNT Sports tagging up, though the channel comes at a higher cost under a third separate subscription tier.

Those who’ve been a BT Sport Monthly Pass customer or getting the BT Sport channels through their BT or Sky subscription should already have access to this premium Discovery+ tier bundling TNT Sports and Eurosport. Eligible users have been receiving emails from their providers about it, but feel free to contact yours for more information.

How to Watch TNT Sports on Sony Smart TV?

As for how you’ll be watching TNT Sports on your Sony TV, it’s straightforward.

If you have a Sky, BT, or Virgin Media set-top box connected to your telly, you can tune into the channels from the respective TV guide. The channel numbers remain the same as they were for BT Sport. It’s also worth noting that the pricing won’t change for former pay-TV BT Sport subscribers until their contract ends.

For those using the BT Sport app on their Sony Smart TV to stream their favourite sporting events live and on-demand (and everyone else), the Discovery+ app is replacing it. Here’s how you get it on your Sony Android TV:

  • Choose the Discovery+ app in the results, followed by Install on the description page.

Once installed, return to the Home screen, go to the Apps menu, and scroll to the bottom, where you’ll find the Discovery+ app.

With the app highlighted, long-press the SELECT button on your remote and select Add to Favourites. It’ll add Discovery+ to your “Favourite apps” section on the Home screen.
