Sky Sports will broadcast UEFA Europa League and Conference League football in the UK from the 2027/2028 season. The two European competitions are currently shown on TNT Sports, which will also lose the Champions League rights from 2027.
All 342 matches across the Europa and Conference League will be available on Sky Sports for four years from the summer of 2027. Both competitions are well represented by English teams this season.
The Europa League features Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa, while Crystal Palace are playing in the Conference League after winning last season’s FA Cup. Jonathan Licht, Sky Sports chief sports officer, said: “I’m proud that we’re able to bring European football competitions back to Sky customers.

“The UEFA Europa League and Conference League have delivered some of the most exciting European stories in recent years, with English clubs consistently performing strongly and lifting trophies.
“This partnership is made possible by the strength of our business model and brand as the home of sport in the UK. Alongside the Premier League, EFL, SPFL, WSL and more, fans will now regularly enjoy some domestic or European football every day of the week during the season on Sky Sports.”
Meanwhile, Amazon Prime will continue to broadcast the top-pick Tuesday match in the Champions League. The corporation has been broadcasting games from the competition to British viewers since 2024.
“Prime Video has secured the rights to broadcast top-pick UEFA Champions League football in the UK, Ireland, Germany and Italy for four seasons through to 2030/2031,” a statement from the company said.

“This long-term renewal reinforces Prime Video’s commitment to offering the most prestigious sports competitions to Prime members at no additional cost. Prime Video will broadcast the top-pick Tuesday match exclusively in the UK & co-exclusively in Ireland, as well as the top-pick Wednesday match exclusively in Germany and Italy.
“The Wednesday top-pick matches also include two games on consecutive evenings in the opening League Phase round and the pick of the games in the thrilling final League Phase round. This represents an increase in unmissable games for Prime members in Germany.
“The four-year extension through to 2031 follows continued viewership success for unmissable European football on Prime Video.”
The news comes amid reports on Thursday that Paramount+ are ‘poised’ to take over from TNT Sports as the main Champions League broadcaster in the UK.
It’s understood that the bidding process for rights is being carried out by Relevent Football, and it’s described as a ‘massively complex’ operation. Bids for the rights of the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, and France are reportedly being submitted simultaneously.
While TNT Sports will lose the rights to cover UEFA’s European competitions, they will still hold them for Premier League matches and the FA Cup. As a result of the shake-up, it could mean that football fans will have to sign up for another subscription service if they want to watch Champions League football.
