    Eurosport to be axed as sports fans face huge subscription price hike

    Another advantage of living here. How much does Sky+TNT cost in the UK now?



    Eurosport will no longer be available on British screens next month and some sports fans face a huge price rise as a result.
    Warner Bros Discovery is changing where its output is shown and the programming currently on Eurosport will go to TNT Sports channels in the UK and Ireland.
    Snooker, cycling and tennis are among the sports most widely shown on Eurosport, but they will switch to TNT Sports from 28 February.
    The change is set to cost fans of those sports a huge amount as the TNT Sports package is priced at £30.99-per-month.
    Currently Eurosport is included in Sky TV and Virgin Media packages at no extra cost, while the streaming platform Discovery+ sets fans back £6.99-per-month.
    That will no longer be an option and to continue to watch live snooker, cycling and other sports, fans will have to fork out the full £30.99-per-month for the package which will include football, rugby, boxing, UFC, motorsport and others.
    There are cheaper deals to be had through TV packages, with Cycling Weekly reporting: ‘Virgin Media customers, for example, can add it to their bundle for an additional £18 a month. Sky TV customers can do the same for an extra £30 a month. EE mobile customers can purchase TNT Sports as an add-on for £20 a month.’

    Less than 200 baht a month... if you know the right people.

    Although I don't really understand why it being more expensive in the UK now is another great reason for having to pop out at half time for refreshments in your gas mask to one of the world's most polluted cities during the start of wildfire season?

    Everyone's got a box in the UK, they just don't talk about it.

    Like pay tax to a plumber.

    What channel you watching on H?

    I have United on some African channel which frequently throws up adverts for ice cold Castle beer and has Joe Hart, Ian Wright and Michael Owen as pundits.
    Really thinking of going the pub and watching now although it's fucking cold out there

    Hub Sports because the picture quality is awesome, but still stuck with Owen. He really is a plank.
