Which should you pick? If your club plays in the Premier League and you watch week in, week out, Sky Sports covers far more of their games. If you mostly care about Europe, TNT Sports is the one, and Amazon Prime Video adds a Tuesday Champions League match at no extra cost if you have Prime. From 2027/28, Paramount takes over most Champions League matches in the UK, so TNT's European football changes next season.
