TNT Sports is adding College Football Playoff games starting this season as part of a five-year sub-licensing agreement with ESPN, according to executives briefed on the discussions.
The deal will see Warner Bros. Discovery’s TNT Sports and HBO Max show two first-round games over the first two seasons of the contract. In the ensuing three years, it will broadcast and stream two first-round games and two quarterfinals. The sides could add more games.
