Commonwealth Games coverage moves to TNT
The Chronicle
|December 20, 2025
The Commonwealth Games are moving off free-to-air television for the first time after a deal for next year’s event in Glasgow was struck with TNT Sports.
-
The BBC has been the principal broadcaster of the Games since 1954. but Commonwealth Sport, the governing body responsible for the event, confirmed on Friday that it had reached an agreement with Warner Bros Discovery.
The deal will see TNT Sports broadcast the Games on a linear dedicated television channel, while all sports will be available to stream on HBO Max.
HBO Max is only due to launch in the UK in March, but anyone interested in watching the Commonwealth Games would be able to subscribe to that platform without needing a full TNT Sports package. The UK pricing is still to be announced, but European customers currently pay around five euros (£4.37) a month for HBO Max.
