WBD lines up 4,000 live hours for summer of sport

May 1, 2026 10.45 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Warner Bros. Discovery will broadcast more than 4,000 hours of live sport across TNT Sports, Eurosport and HBO Max this summer.

The schedule covers more than 50 events across 50 markets during May, June and July, including Grand Tour cycling, Roland-Garros, UEFA finals, the FA Cup finals, motorsport and the Commonwealth Games.

Cycling will be a major focus, with coverage of the Giro d’Italia, La Vuelta Femenina, Giro d’Italia Women and Tour de France, alongside the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series.

Eurosport and HBO Max will also carry every moment of Roland-Garros across Europe, excluding France, from May 24 to June 7.

Motorsport coverage includes the FIA World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, as well as the FIM Speedway Grand Prix and FIM Endurance World Championship.

In football, TNT Sports and HBO Max in the UK will show the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Conference League finals, the Emirates FA Cup and Women’s FA Cup finals, and the conclusion of the Premier League season.

Other highlights include the Gallagher PREM Final, MotoGP, LIV Golf and the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow from July 23.

Scott Young, EVP at WBD Sports Europe, said the scale of coverage was “unmatched”, adding that the group would use its TV, streaming and social platforms to tell the stories of the athletes across the summer.

Patrick Maitrot, GVP global sales at Warner Bros. Discovery, said the run of events represented one of the strongest advertising opportunities of the year, combining live sport, premium environments and advanced advertising tools.

HBO Max subscribers in Europe will also have access to in-app features for selected events, including Multiview, Key Moments, language selection and watchlists.
