UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has written to TNT Sports, urging the broadcaster to make the upcoming Champions League final between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain free to watch. This year marks a significant change, as it will be the first time since the tournament's rebranding in 1992 that the final will not be accessible without a subscription. TNT Sports, owned by Warner Bros Discovery, has faced backlash for requiring viewers to subscribe to watch the match on their platform or HBO Max. Starmer, an avid Arsenal supporter, stated in his open letter that the Champions League is the biggest club football competition globally and should remain free for fans. He emphasized that this issue transcends team loyalty, highlighting the importance of community and shared experiences among football supporters. Furthermore, Uefa has expressed irritation at TNT's decision, claiming it contradicts a contract clause that aims to ensure finals are available for free. Starmer's appeal reflects a broader concern for making football more affordable for fans, as he has also previously urged Fifa to lower ticket prices for the World Cup.
