TNT Sports is set to lose the rights to broadcast Champions League games in the United Kingdom from 2027. Since the 2015-16 season, TNT has been airing the Champions League, Europa League, and the Conference League, having secured the UK rights in 2013 from Sky Sports.

At present, viewers based in the United States can watch the Champions League via Paramount+, which also recently inked a deal with UFC to air the mixed martial arts organization's events. It's also understood that Paramount+ has placed bids for the rights in other major European countries.

This development comes as the Champions League prepares to make its comeback after a fortnight's international break, which also paused domestic soccer.
