In 2017, Turner Sports announced that they had retained the rights to air all of the matches from the UEFA Champions League live. The contract originally ran from 2018–2021. Tuner later announced that they would air 4 matches per week on TNT and the remainder of the matches on new streaming service B/R Live.[2] All matches will be commentated through world feed. During the 2019-2020 season, Turner Sports opted out from the rest of the contract after airing most of the matches in the round of 16, eventually giving up the rights. It eventually moved to CBS Sports where it became the rightsholder for English-language Broadcasts of the UEFA Champions League.[3][4][5][6]

UEFA Europa League[]

Turner Sports formerly carried the UEFA Europa League through the same contract as the Champions League programming. While it could have aired the UEFA Europa League final, it was later moved to CBS Sports for the remainder of the 2019-2020 season.[7][8][9][10]

UEFA Super Cup[]

Through their UEFA contract, the UEFA Super Cup has been broadcast by Turner live on TNT.
