"Today is another important step towards the launch of a simpler and even more compelling offering for sports fans in the U.K & Ireland," said Andrew Georgiou, president of WBD Sports in Europe.

"While Warner Bros. Discovery is excited to contribute its global scale and capabilities, together with its growing portfolio of premium entertainment, we are also determined to ensure ​we don't compromise on the inimitable, local style that is at the heart of the way BT Sport has connected with fans over the past decade. Remaining authentically local will remain key to our success."
