In a move that will excite fans across the Premier League, TNT Sports has announced that it will broadcast all three major European finals this month for free. This decision comes as Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Chelsea are set to compete in their respective European tournaments, providing fans with a rare opportunity to watch their teams in high-stakes finals without the need for a subscription.
The action kicks off on May 21 in Bilbao, where Manchester United and Tottenham will face off in the Europa League final. Both teams are coming off disappointing domestic campaigns, with United and Spurs currently languishing in mid-table positions in the Premier League. Neither team has yet reached the 40-point mark usually associated with safety from relegation, leaving fans and players alike eager to salvage something from their seasons. The winner of this final will not only claim a prestigious European title but also secure a spot in next season’s Champions League, adding even more intrigue to the matchup.
Tottenham, who have gone 17 years without winning a major trophy, will be looking to end their long wait for silverware. They are aiming for their third UEFA Cup/Europa League trophy, having last won the competition in 1984. Manchester United, on the other hand, have a more recent history of success in the tournament, having won the Europa League in 2017 under manager José Mourinho. United’s path to the final has been impressive, with a dominant 7-1 aggregate victory over Athletic Bilbao in the semifinals. Tottenham, too, has shown resilience, advancing to the final with a 5-1 aggregate win over Bodo/Glimt, including a 2-0 triumph in the second leg.
A week later, Chelsea will take center stage in the Conference League final, where they will face La Liga side Real Betis in Wroclaw. The Blues are expected to secure their first-ever Conference League title, having dominated the competition throughout the season. However, they will face a stern test in Betis, who have shown their own quality in reaching the final. Chelsea’s recent struggles in the Premier League make this European success even more important for the club, as they look to end their season on a high note.
The month of May will culminate with the highly anticipated Champions League final in Munich, where Paris Saint-Germain will take on Inter Milan. PSG, who have enjoyed a dominant domestic campaign in France, are the marginal favorites to win the final and secure their first-ever European Cup. Inter Milan, meanwhile, are hoping to clinch their fourth European Cup and their first since 2010, when they completed a historic treble under José Mourinho. After finishing as runners-up in 2023, Inter will be determined to go one better this time around.
For fans of Manchester United, Tottenham, and Chelsea, the opportunity to watch these crucial European finals for free is a welcome relief. TNT Sports’ decision to air these games without requiring a subscription provides an excellent chance for supporters to witness their teams in action on the biggest stage. As the European football season reaches its thrilling climax, all eyes will be on these matchups, with the potential for historic triumphs and unforgettable moments.
