TNT Sports will be broadcasting Manchester United's Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur for free next Wednesday.
The television network has announced that fans will be able to watch the game for free in the UK via their Discovery+ app. This decision has been forced upon the broadcaster as UEFA insists that all of their major finals must be free-to-air regardless of their broadcast agreements.
Previously, TNT Sports has live streamed the match on YouTube to accomodate this clause by UEFA. However, it is unclear whether that option will be available in the UK next week when United travel to Bilbao.
Along with the Europa League final, the Conference League final against Chelsea and Antony's Real Betis as well as the Champions League final between PSG and Inter Milan will be shown for free on the app too. As we move ever closer to the finale, TNT Sports have also confirmed their punditry team for the final in Bilbao.
Jules Breach and Lynsey Hipgrave will be presenting the coverage from the San Mames Stadium and will be joined by ex-Tottenham stars Gareth Bale and Glenn Hoddle and United heroes Rio Ferdinand and Paul Scholes. Robbie Savage will also be part of the expert panel with Darren Fletcher and Ally McCoist in the commentary booth.

The crucial fixture will be imperative for United and Spurs, not only for the trophy but also for Champions League qualification. The winner next week will enter the league phase of the top-tier European competition and will be the sixth club from the Premier League competing in the Champions League.
As well as on the Discovery+ app, fans will be able to watch the final on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate.
