The rumour comes from a headline on Rugby Pass which originally said "TNT to consider Six Nations TV deal". It has now been amended to read more neutrally "Six Nations TV rights soon to be up for grabs".
The article itself does include this crucial quote from TNT. Quote:

6N are talking up the value of the rights as per - claims of a £90m deal where a bit of basic analysis puts the figure closer to ~£60m. TNT will of course be interested, but there's massive political pressure to keep the tournament on FTA. The game would commit suicide by putting the main shop window behind a paywall, but depending what hybrid or sharing model could be worked out, dictates how much of a premium above FTA, TNT (or Sky, for that matter) might be willing to pay. And thus the chances of the 6N taking that route. |
Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Surprisingly, the Six Nations aren’t designated Cat A events by OFCOM.
But it may be that TNT put some of the matches on Quest, or do a deal with either BBC or ITV for England matches. |

But at least their Ultimate channel is true UHD/HDR and costs no more than the base TNT Sport price - whereas Sky Sports Main Event has quite a lot of upscaled stuff and some of the fake HDR looks terrible - and you have to pay extra for UHD.

It is a part of the Premier Sports service but not as a linear channel.
It is in their app and Amazon service - but not on VM or Sky (except via Amazon app). Most live games on LaLiga are shown on PS1 or PS2. Quote:

I don't think TNT are in trouble at the moment as they've got wealthy co-owners. it's just always been incredibly hard for secondary pay TV broadcasters in the UK like TNT to make money. Hence the constant changes in the broadcasting landscape which has seen the coming and goings of Setanta, Viasport, ESPN, BT Sport, Premier Sports, Eurosport, etc. For how long WBD decides to continue shouldering the losses of TNT or if they can turn it around remains to be seen. But for now, they seem to be committed. |

[EXTRACT] Sports entertainment platform DAZN has agreed a new strategic partnership with football’s governing body FIFA to launch and operate the FIFA+ service across the globe, suggesting the move will transform the way football fans access and engage with the sport. The new FIFA+ service will be the digital home for global football – an accessible, user-centric platform featuring live matches, historic archives, original documentaries and original programming. Initially, DAZN will broadcast the entire FIFA Club World Cup 2025 – which kicked off on June 14th – featuring 32 elite teams from around the world, live from Miami to New Jersey. The partnership will also introduce a daily FIFA Club World Cup 2025 show, The Press, with insights from leading football personalities delivering tournament highlights, behind-the-scenes content and fan reactions. Following the tournament, a continuous, exclusive news service, ensuring fans stay connected to all the latest football action and stories from the world of football will be launched. The platform will serve as a comprehensive football destination, offering fans access to over 150 men’s and women’s leagues, national teams and historic FIFA moments from over the years. A big boost for streaming football, I think. |

As it not being reporting on here as I can see I can reveal that UK Parliament did pass the vote on July 8th that 10 English Premier League will start to be broadcast on ''Council TV'' by August 2027.
The 10 games will appear on any of the following PSB Channels: *BBC *ITV1 *Channel 4 *5 NOTE: The English Premier League would still need to sign deal with PSB Broadcaster after it becomes UK Law. that why I think any deal would not start until Start of Season 2027. Kick off times are still unknown and would be up to the EPL but I feel Kick off times would be Saturday's at 8pm or Sunday's at 7pm about one game every three weeks. |

Disney+ gets exclusive Saturday primetime matches, while Premier Sports keeps hold of over 340 matches per season as the main broadcaster. Disney+ kicks off their exclusive Saturday evening coverage this weekend with Valencia CF hosting Real Sociedad at 8:30pm. Next week brings some serious heavyweight action – newly promoted Levante UD taking on current champions FC Barcelona, followed by RCD Mallorca versus Real Madrid on 30th August. These aren’t throwaway fixtures either. Disney+ has secured the Saturday evening slot specifically designed to showcase LaLiga’s biggest teams without clashing with Premier League coverage. That means regular appearances from Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atlético Madrid – exactly the matches most UK fans want to watch. Meanwhile, Premier Sports keeps everything else – over 340 matches per season including El Clásico encounters that don’t fall on Saturday evenings, plus Copa del Rey coverage and Spain’s Segunda División. |
