- The Champions League final between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain will not be available for free viewing in the UK for the first time in the modern era.
- UK rights holder TNT Sports has confirmed that all three European club competition finals this season, including the Europa League and Conference League, will require a subscription to watch.
- Viewers will need to subscribe to TNT Sports or HBO Max, with monthly costs typically ranging from £25 to £34 for TNT Sports or from £4.99 for HBO Max.
- UEFA is reportedly ‘irritated’ by TNT Sports’ decision, believing it goes against the spirit of their contract which stipulates ‘best endeavours’ for free availability.
- This change comes as TNT Sports is set to lose the broadcasting rights for all three European competitions from the 2027-28 season, having been outbid by other broadcasters.
