Quick Summary
Warner Bros Discovery will reportedly split into two companies again, with different services and shows being moved around.

One confirmed outcome is that TNT Sports streaming will switch from Discovery+ to HBO Max when it launches in the UK and Ireland next year.
We've had a fair few streaming homes for live Premier League football matches over the years. Amazon, BT Sport and Discovery+ have each shown games on their streaming services. And that's on top of Sky's own services, including Now.
It has meant that if you're a die-hard fan who struggles to get to the games yourself, you've had to shell out for numerous paid subscriptions to follow your team on TV and online.
However, it looks like we'll soon get another.

The owner of TNT Sports and Discovery+ is reportedly going through a shake-up, with the parent company Warner Bros Discovery said to be splitting again after merging just three years ago.
And, as part of the split, international sports coverage will be heading to HBO Max. It's claimed that includes TNT Sports' Premier League rights.
Earlier this year, TNT Sports extended its rights package with the Premier League to continue to show 52 live matches per season up to and including the 2028/29 season. They can be seen on traditional broadcast platforms (with a subscription), but are also hosted by Discovery+.
But it is now said (via RXTV) that the Discovery+ streaming service is heading to a newly formed Global Networks division as part of the WBD split, along with standard live TV services, such as Quest and the Food Network.

A new Streaming & Studios business will take on HBO, HBO Max and all sports services outside of the US. A spokesperson for WBD confirmed to RXTV that TNT Sports will be part of HBO Max when it launches in the UK and Ireland in early 2026.
What about Sky's Premier League coverage?
Sky's Premier League coverage will be untouched by the WBD split. Indeed, it is ramping up the amount of live matches it will offer across Sky Glass, Sky Stream, Sky Q and Now to 215 from next season. That's a dramatic increase on the 128 matches it broadcast in 2024/25.
Ironically though, Sky will lose exclusive rights to HBO programming from the end of 2025. It has been the home of the likes of Game of Thrones, Succession and The Last of Us for many years, but the arrival of HBO Max means those shows will be available across multiple platforms from next year.
Sky has struck a deal to carry HBO Max on its TV services though, so you'll still get to see them there too.

Virgil Van Dijk's: The Constant in Liverpool's Historic Success of Recent Years
Virgil van Dijk Remains the World's Best Defender Virgil van Dijk's brilliance has become so reliable that it now risks being taken for granted. While new Liverpool manager Arne Slot made headlines by winning the Premier League in his debut season, and Mohamed Salah dazzled once again, Van Dijk was the constant force holding everything together. His influence is quieter now in the wider football narrative, but it remains just as powerful on the pitch. Advertisement In his second season as Liverpool captain, Van Dijk stepped up following Jurgen Klopp's departure and filled the leadership void left by Jordan Henderson. He didn't just cope with the pressure, he excelled under it, guiding Liverpool to a league title with composure, consistency and class. Photo: IMAGO Rock at the Back Van Dijk made 49 appearances across all competitions, anchoring a defence that was often rotated due to injuries and tactical changes. He didn't just survive the chaos, he provided calm through it. While he had the odd slip, such as a mistake against West Ham, his responses were swift, often followed by commanding performances or crucial goals. Advertisement His presence changes Liverpool's entire defensive line. When he is missing, the team visibly suffers. His positioning, reading of the game and aerial dominance are unmatched, making him a truly irreplaceable figure in the squad. Passing Range and Leadership What often goes unnoticed is Van Dijk's incredible passing. His long diagonals to Salah, Diaz or Gakpo are not just clearance kicks, they are measured attacks in themselves. This level of precision turns defence into attack instantly, giving Liverpool a key weapon in transition. As captain, Van Dijk has brought poise and unity to the club's new era. He rallied the players and even urged fans to create a sea of red in support. He's not only a tactical leader, but an emotional one too. Recognition Long Overdue Despite his impact, Van Dijk has not been widely included in Player of the Season discussions. Much of that is due to Salah's consistent brilliance, but it's also a reflection of how fans become desensitised to greatness. Advertisement Van Dijk is not just still world-class — he's still the best in his position. As Liverpool prepare for their future under Slot, Van Dijk's new contract is a massive boost. He remains the foundation of the team and the perfect leader for this next chapter. This is an abridged version; the full article is available on our 'It Was Always… Liverpool' Substack page:
