VIRGIN Media has slashed the price of TNT Sports just in time for the forthcoming Premier League season.
The UK TV and broadband provider has launched two new offers as football fans gear up for another year of matches.

To get TNT Sports, you need to subscribe to a service that includes the channel in its service.
Now, Virgin Media is now offering a special deal for the service, as sports lovers can now get TNT Sports for just £5 a month.
Fans will be able to get this rate for the channel for the first three months.
This is one fifth of the original price and a huge reduction of the usual cost of £25 per month.

Another flash offer has also been advertised to fans until August 13th, so sports viewers don’t have long to take it up.
This would get them a free 50inch Toshiba 4K TV or a £145 credit with selected bundles.
However, there are a number of caveats to the setup of Virgin Media and how these deals actually work.
TV service overhaul
9
Virgin Media has made sweeping changes to the way it has delivered its TV service over the past few years.
To access Virgin Media TV, you will need to get one of their broadband packages as it is not available as a standalone service.
You can however choose between a Flex option for more flexibility with 30 day rolling contracts for a £5 extra monthly fee.
Or you can commit to a long-term bundle which includes TV; however, there are broadband requirements regardless of which hardware or contract type you choose.
This applies to all Virgin Media TV services regardless of the deals.
In April 2022, Virgin Media launched the Stream box, which is now a default option for all new customers in 2025.
Unless you specifically request the TV 360 version – which is not available in all areas – if you sign up today then you will automatically get the Stream box.
How do I check my Virgin Media service status?

See our Virgin Media outages guide for more information on how to check your service and if you’re eligible for compensation.
Subscriptions can be added such as Netflix, Disney+, and Sky Sports without being locked into basic commitments.
Traditional TV bundles are still available, but only for 24-month agreements for broadband and the TV part.
TNT Sports

After BT Sport’s transformation in 2023, TNT Sports emerged when Warner Bros. Discovery acquired half of the business.
Some of the UK’s most valuable sports rights are held by the service.
This includes exclusive Premier League matches, especially fixtures which kick off at 12:30pm on Saturday’s.
UEFA Champions League football, the FA Cup, MotoGP, UFC, boxing, and international cricket are also included.
It absorbed all of Eurosport UK content in 2025 after the brand was discontinued.
Tennis Grand Slams, cycling’s Grand Tours, and winter sports were all added to the list of rights.
In 2023, Virgin Media removed TNT Sports from its bundles in a huge surprise to long-time subscribers and new customers had to add the service as a separate add-on.
But you can now get the platform monthly for just £5 for the first three months if you sign up today.
Following this, the price will then revert back to £25 a month.
In comparison, the standalone platform costs £30.99 a month on Discovery+.
