TNT Sports is a sports broadcasting brand owned and operated by Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). Originating from the American cable television channel TNT, the brand is used for television networks and channels broadcasting sporting numerous sporting events globally.

The brand was first used in the 1980s when then-owner Turner Broadcasting System initially created separate TNT Sports and TBS Sports brands for its American channels TNT and TBS, respectively, before introducing a unified Turner Sports brand in 1995. Turner Broadcasting merged with and folded into Time Warner in 1996, which in turn was acquired by AT&T in 2018 and renamed as WarnerMedia). Under AT&T, Turner Sports was transferred to a dedicated division known as WarnerMedia News & Sports. In 2017, the company launched the TNT Sports channel in Argentina, then standardized the rest of its existing Latin American sports channels into the TNT Sports brand in 2021.

AT&T spun-off its WarnerMedia subsidiary which merged with Discovery, Inc. to form Warner Bros. Discovery on 8 April 2022. The Warner Bros. Discovery brand was also used for Discovery's existing European and international sports assets such as Eurosport, Golf Digest and Global Cycling Network. In 2024, WBD officially rebranded the entirety of the sports division as TNT Sports in the US and UK while WBD Sports still exists in Europe.
