Darren Fletcher returns as TNT Sports’ lead commentator with Sam Matterface, Mike Minay and Adam Summerton also serving as lead commentators across the season.

Scott Young, EVP, WBD Sports Europe, commented: “With more than 700 live matches across domestic and European football, TNT Sports and HBO Max is an essential destination for football fans this season. The sheer volume of world-class football we bring together means there’s always a big match, an unmissable moment, a compelling story or a trophy on the line. From the referee’s first whistle in August to the biggest finals in May, we’re looking forward to taking football coverage to a whole new level. Every week we’ll bring fans closer to the biggest matches, biggest personalities and biggest stories in the game through world-class live coverage and an exceptional team of presenters, pundits and commentators. But it’s about much more than the live action. We’re football fans ourselves. Whether it’s our unrivalled line-up of presenters, pundits and reporters, original documentaries, exclusive features, behind-the-scenes access or the daily football conversation across our digital and social platforms, there’s always something to discover whenever you come to TNT Sports.”
