TNT Sports to be the Defining Brand for truTV's Primetime Programming Lineup with Custom Logos, Graphics & Other Visuals to Debut as Part of Network Evolution
The TNT Sports programming block on truTV, which debuted earlier this year, will become even more pronounced and consistent this Fall with a broader array of sports content centered on live games and event coverage from the MLB Postseason, NBA, NHL, U.S. Men's and Women's National Soccer Teams, Mountain West football, MotoGP and more. In 2025, TNT Sports live sports content airing on truTV will further expand, resulting from recently announced agreements with NASCAR, Roland-Garros and the BIG EAST, among others, set to begin.
Coming this October - starting at 6 p.m. ET each weeknight - fans will also see TNT Sports branding and graphics dynamically integrated into the network's primetime programming lineup.
TNT Sports will televise nearly 1,000 hours of sports programming on truTV in 2024 with plans to significantly increase its volume in 2025.
"We're very pleased with the early launch of the TNT Sports programming block on truTV and will expand our commitment to bolstering the dedicated primetime sports lineup this Fall," said Craig Barry, Executive Vice President and Chief Content Officer, TNT Sports. "Just as Adult Swim takes over for a different audience at night from Cartoon Network, we aspire for TNT Sports on truTV to be a go-to destination for a dynamic range of fans seeking not only more premium sports, but also alternate ways to experience and enjoy them, along with additional culturally relevant and entertaining sports content."
TNT Sports programming on truTV will include NASCAR practice and qualifying, expansive Roland Garros coverage and BIG EAST basketball (all beginning in 2025), Mountain West football (beginning this season), and the continuation of MLB, NBA, NHL, U.S. Men's and Women's National Soccer Team content, MotoGP, Bellator MMA events, nightly shows such as TNT Sports Tonight and The Line, unscripted competitive shows including Wipeout, featured sports movies, documentaries and scripted series, among others.
Additional TNT Sports on truTV programming will be announced in the months ahead.
