Did anyone figure this out? I’ve been on to Discover+ and Now TV trying to figure out if now’s 3rd party subscription will get me eurosport cycling content. The answer seems to either “no” or “we don’t know”. Surely WBD aren’t entirely terminating the coverage while sitting on the rights, are they?
TNT is unavailable in Ireland as an add-on to a Discovery+ subscription. You’ll be able to get TNT, and thereby the cycling, as an add-on to a Sky, NowTV or Virgin subscription. But none of those have the on demand facility that Discovery+ has for cycling.
Thanks for your response Cillian. I was coming to this conclusion but just didn’t want to believe it. I’m not convinced TNT are actually going to show much cycling on their 4 channels, so I’m not sure if there is any point in subscribing through Now TV. I guess a VPN is the only option.
Yeah you can get a UK VPN and subscribe to Discovery+ with TNT and the on demand will be available, but it's a right pain in the arse. Especially if you're like me and you watch this stuff on several different devices.
No - UK and Ireland are separate. Every country is. I can't use my UK Disc+ when using an Irish ISP. If there is no Disc+ in Ireland then they will need to add TNT to a TV package from Virgin etc and take what they broadcast. Which may not be all of every race - like Eurosport.
That's weird. I'm Irish living in the UK. I have gone with my UK D+ to an Irish ISP with no problem. Going to Croatia, it was blocked because they have MAX there.
I was able to - on GCN+ and Eurosport player but went to Disc+ in Jan '24 and couldn't use it in the April - either on my tablet or loaded onto my Dad's.
@cilliankelly.bsky.social you can get it via NowTv for 17e a month for 12 months. There's a rake of options to sift through, but that seems to be our only legit way of accessing the cycling in Ireland. Don't get me started on RoI which is a construct of FIFA.

On demand cycling is gone from Ireland
I have little to zero interest in most of those sports listed.
Now what?

Cillian can you still get Eurosport, ROI being part of Europe 🤷♂️
