TNT Sports is the division of Warner Bros. Discovery in the United States that is responsible for sports broadcasts on its parent company's streaming service, HBO Max, and primarily the TruTV, TBS, and TNT cable channels. The division also operates the online digital media outlets for the NCAA, PGA Tour, and PGA of America; the sports news website Bleacher Report; and owns a minority share in MLB Network. Its name originates from the TV network TNT.
TNT Sports' formation dates back to the 1970s as the sports division of Turner Broadcasting System's basic cable networks, with separate TNT Sports and TBS Sports brands for TNT and TBS, respectively. A unified Turner Sports brand was then introduced in 1995, followed by Turner Broadcasting merging into Time Warner in 1996. Following AT&T's acquisition of Time Warner in 2018 (which would become WarnerMedia), Turner Sports was combined with CNN and AT&T SportsNet into a new division known as WarnerMedia News & Sports.
In 2022, Warner Bros. Discovery was formed after AT&T spun off WarnerMedia, who merged with Discovery, Inc. WarnerMedia News & Sports was split into two: CNN Worldwide and Turner Sports, with the latter being combined with Discovery Sports to create Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, although this was just a rename of Turner Sports, which was the surviving company. The division slowly began to adopt its current branding in fall 2023, named after TNT. However, it was not until January 18, 2024, that the unit would officially rebrand as TNT Sports.
The company's European sports operations such as TNT Sports and Eurosport folded into "Warner Bros. Discovery Sports Europe".
