BT Sport and Discovery are creating a new premium sports TV platform. When is it coming, will it cost more and what will it air? Here's everything we know.

And the biggest question of all – when is this even happening? This means that customers who subscribe to BT Sport via other 3rd party platforms – such as Virgin Media and Sky – will not be part of this deal, and will not get Discovery+ and Eurosport for free (at least as of this writing). Going forward, especially once the two brands are joined together into a single platform, we hope the combined cost will be less than the current separate costs of BT Sport and Discovery+/Eurosport – but it’s too early to tell. In the early stages of the new joint venture, it seems only eligible BT Sport subscribers will save money (£6.99/m) – by getting Discovery+ and its Eurosport content for free. Will Discovery+ / Eurosport Customers Get BT Sport For Free? If and when that happens, BT Sport and Eurosport UK will no longer exist as separate brands, and customers will get the combined sports broadcasts as part of a single service. Is Eurosport going away? BT Sport subscribers who get their subscription directly from BT, as well as most BT TV customers, will get the discovery+ streaming service (along with Eurosport) as part of their subscriptions, at no extra cost. So while customers may get combined deals and offers at that point, BT Sport and Eurosport UK will continue to exist as two separate TV and streaming platforms (but with new owners behind the scenes). Is this going to cost more – or less – than what sports fans are paying now? In early May, Warner Bros. Discovery and BT announced that two staples of sports TV in the UK – BT Sport and Eurosport – will be merging into a single premium TV and streaming sports service. The paid tier has TWO separate plans: Entertainment (£3.99/month with adverts) and Entertainment + Sports (£6.99/month) – which currently also includes the content that used to reside on Eurosport Player.
