TNT Secures College Football Playoff Broadcast Rights from ESPN

Warner Bros. Discovery has secured a deal with ESPN to sub-license a small number of college football playoff games over the next five years, starting later this year. This move comes as Warner Bros. Discovery is also in critical negotiations with the NBA to renew its long-standing media rights. The new deal will see TNT broadcasting two first-round games this year and next, and two quarterfinals starting in 2026. This agreement is independent of Warner's ongoing NBA discussions and aims to bolster its sports portfolio.
