TNT Sports succeeds in last minute cricket deal

18 January 2024

Warner Bros Discovery signs deal that will allow TNT Sports to broadcast England’s test cricket series in India next week, confirming recent media speculation.

  • England’s five test series was threatened by a TV blackout in the UK
  • Deal also allows TNT Sports to showcase other international cricket series hosted in India for the next five years.
  • Streamers will be able to follow England in India on discovery+ Premium.

Warner Bros Discovery (WBD), the BCCI and Pitch International have signed a deal for a package of rights that will see TNT Sports showcase international cricket hosted in India on its linear and digital platforms in the UK in a deal running until 2028.

England’s imminent five test tour of India, starting on Thursday 25th January will now be available on TV in the UK. The lack of a broadcast deal threated a TV blackout. Earlier this week, media reports linked TNT Sports to a late bid for the rights, alongside more surprising candidates like Disney+.

TNT Sports coverage will be available on Sky, Virgin Media and EE TV, plus streaming on discovery+ Premium. The discovery+ Premium package is available for £30.99 a month and is not dependant on any existing pay TV subscriptions.
