Why PSG vs Arsenal Champions League Final Isn't on Free-to-Air TV
TNT Sports and streaming partners will carry the match, with subscriptions starting at £4.99, after criticism over the loss of a free viewing option.
- Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer urged TNT Sports to make the Champions League final free to watch, criticizing the broadcaster's decision to place the Arsenal vs Paris Saint-Germain match behind a subscription paywall.
- For the first time in 34 years since the European Cup was rebranded, the final will not be available on free-to-air television, as TNT Sports shifts the broadcast to its paid platforms and HBO Max.
- In his open letter, Starmer argued the match is 'bigger than that,' noting that 'hardworking people should not have to worry about' subscriptions and urging the network to put 'supporters first.'
- Responding to the Prime Minister, TNT Sports maintained a subscription for HBO Max offers 'exceptional value' from £4.99, defending the pricing model against criticism.
- The clash at Puskas Arena in Budapest takes place today, May 30, though TNT Sports is set to lose all three European competition rights to Paramount and Sky starting in 2027-28.
