Key facts
- TNT sits in base plans everywhere it is carried.
- Unlike ESPN, TNT is in both Sling plans.
- Fubo carries no Warner Bros. Discovery channels.
- NBA games left TNT after the 2024-25 season.
- TNT Sports events also stream on HBO Max (not ranked).
- National feed: no local-market variation.
What TNT is, and why TBS and truTV travel with it
- Warner Bros. Discovery general-entertainment network and home of TNT Sports.
- 2026 slate per our research: 72 national NHL games with the Winter Classic and 2027 Stanley Cup Final, the French Open (ten-year deal from 2025), and the NCAA men's tournament shared with CBS.
- TNT and TBS no longer carry the NBA; those games moved to ESPN, ABC, NBC, Peacock, and Prime Video. See the NBA page.
- TBS carries Tuesday MLB, alternating postseason series, and a share of March Madness; truTV takes overflow March Madness and some French Open courts.
- Every service with TNT also has TBS. truTV diverges: Blue only on Sling; DIRECTV STREAM tier unconfirmed from reachable 2026 sources.
Subscription options: live TV bundle or HBO Max
- For the TNT channel (dramas, movies, full sports schedule) you need a live TV service from the table.
- For TNT Sports events only, HBO Max streams the NHL package, every French Open match, MLB on TBS, and March Madness per our research; the separate Bleacher Report add-on is reported gone per 2025-26 reporting (flagged "verify").
- HBO Max is not a ranked service, so no price or card; it does not include the TNT linear feed.
- HBO Max can be bought as a Prime Video Channel, but Prime Video itself does not carry TNT.
Pricing and package requirements
- Sling TV, $45.99/mo: TNT on Orange or Blue. Orange adds ESPN; Blue adds FS1, NFL Network, truTV, and locals in select metros; Orange & Blue combines both.
- DIRECTV STREAM MySports, $74.99/mo: TNT, TBS, ESPN networks, locals.
- YouTube TV Base, $82.99/mo, and Hulu + Live TV, $99.99/mo: all three WBD channels.
- No add-on required for TNT on any of the four.
- Fubo omits TNT, TBS, and truTV even at its top tier; our review notes the missing NHL, MLB, and March Madness games.
Device compatibility
- Sling TV: Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Google TV, Samsung and LG TVs, Xbox, phones, browsers; no PlayStation app.
- DIRECTV STREAM: same TV platforms plus its Gemini box; no Xbox or PlayStation apps.
- YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV: everything, including both consoles. See the device compatibility guide.
Blackouts and geographic limitations
- TNT is national: the same feed in every ZIP code, never "select markets."
- NHL games on TNT are national, but a team's regional sports network may hold the exclusive in its home market on nights TNT is not carrying that game; MLB on TBS follows the same pattern.
- March Madness games are national.
- No active TNT carriage dispute on any carrying service as of Oct 12, 2026; WBD renegotiates distribution regularly, hence the re-check date.
Pros and cons by provider for TNT viewers
- Sling TV (Orange or Blue): lowest price for TNT and TBS on either plan, no contract; Blue adds truTV, FS1, NFL Network, Orange adds ESPN. 50 hours of DVR, one stream on Orange, no CBS for March Madness games there.
- DIRECTV STREAM (MySports or ENTERTAINMENT): TNT and TBS in every package; unlimited DVR and at-home streams; five-day trial. Highest prices of the four; truTV tier unconfirmed.
- YouTube TV (Base Plan): TNT, TBS, truTV, unlimited DVR, three streams; also ESPN, ABC, NBC for NHL and March Madness on any network. High price after intro; genre plans may omit WBD channels.
- Hulu + Live TV: all three WBD channels plus Hulu, Disney+, ESPN Select; unlimited DVR for late West Coast games. Two streams; highest base price here.
TNT streaming FAQ
What is the cheapest way to get TNT without cable?
Sling TV at $45.99/mo is the lowest-priced ranked live TV plan with TNT as of Oct 12, 2026, on either Orange or Blue. Promotional first-month pricing is not counted.
Is TNT on Fubo?
No. Fubo carries no Warner Bros. Discovery networks, so TNT, TBS, and truTV are missing on every Fubo plan, along with some NHL, MLB, and March Madness coverage.
Can I watch TNT on HBO Max?
HBO Max streams TNT Sports events (NHL, French Open, MLB on TBS, March Madness) per our research, but not the TNT channel's full schedule. We do not rank HBO Max; check its site for plans.
Are NBA games still on TNT?
No. The NBA's TNT deal ended after 2024-25; for 2026-27, national games are on ESPN and ABC, NBC and Peacock, and Prime Video. See the NBA page.
Do I need Sling Orange or Sling Blue for TNT?
Either; TNT and TBS are in both. Pick Orange for ESPN, Blue for FS1, NFL Network, truTV, and select-market locals, or Orange & Blue for everything.
Does any TNT service offer a free trial?
As of Oct 12, 2026, DIRECTV STREAM lists a 5-day trial and YouTube TV's varies by promotion; Sling TV has no standard trial and Hulu + Live TV's short trial is not always offered. Trials auto-convert unless canceled.
