I'm a BT Sport customer... what does the switch to TNT Sports mean for me?

TNT Sports is now officially the new name for BT Sport in the UK and Republic of Ireland.

But how does this change impact you if you held a BT Sport subscription prior to the July 18 switchover date?

The short answer is that you don't need to take out a new subscription or do anything differently in order to enjoy TNT Sports.

However, there are new ways to unlock the full potential of some subscriptions as discovery+ becomes the new streaming home of TNT Sports, replacing the BT Sport app.

Here we take a closer look at what access is on offer for each segment of the pre-existing BT Sport customer base.

If you're still in doubt about what this means for you after reading this article, please contact your service provider for more information and guidance.

TNT Sports via BT Sport Monthly Pass

• From July 18, the BT Sport Monthly Pass is no longer available as a standalone product. If you subscribed to a BT Sport Monthly Pass prior to July 18, you will continue to enjoy the service as normal. You can continue watching TNT Sports via the BT Sport app until the app ceases later this season, and can also continue to enjoy the service via discovery+. 

• So, to prepare for the end of the BT Sport app, BT Sport Monthly Pass customers will need to follow a short activation process through a dedicated website: https://www.bt.com/sport/discovery-plus.

• Once you've activated your discovery+ account, your discovery+ account will update automatically to enable you to enjoy TNT Sports from there.

• You can also download the discovery+ app for your mobile, tablet and other connected devices to watch across multiple devices using your discovery+ log-in details.

• If you took out a BT Sport Monthly Pass before July 18, you will be notified via email by BT that you can activate discovery+.

• Your BT Sport Monthly Pass automatically renews every 30 days; existing customers will continue to enjoy access to that product.

• The next time your subscription auto-renews, you will see that all references to BT Sport will be renamed TNT Sports on your bill.
