FOOTBALL fans CAN watch the Champions League final for free tonight even if they don’t have a TNT Sports subscription.
Prime Minister and Arsenal fan Sir Keir Starmer had applied pressure to TNT in the days leading up to the final, which is being contested between the Gunners and Paris Saint-Germain.

Football fans also piled in, with the match shown on free-to-air UK channels in every year since 1992.
But European football rights holders TNT Sports decided to break that streak this year as free-to-air channels were blocked.
There is, however, a way millions of footy fanatics CAN still watch the game for free.
A dedicated pop-up channel, 526, has been launched by Virgin Media and will be available for their TV subscribers at no extra cost.
The only catch is that viewers will need an active Virgin subscription – but would NOT need an active HBO Max or TNT Sports account.
