TNT SPORTS could broadcast the Six Nations after the current terrestrial TV deal expires.
BBC and ITV will jointly showcase the international rugby tournament – which starts on Saturday with Scotland versus Italy at Murrayfield – but that agreement ends in 2025.

The Six Nations is not in the government’s Group A list of UK sporting events.
But it is in Group B, which means it can have live coverage on subscription television provided that secondary coverage is offered to the free-to-air broadcasters.
TNT Sports is already the place to watch Premiership Rugby and last year it had the Autumn Nations Series involving the world’s best Test teams.
Scott Young, the SVP Content, Productions and Business Operations for WBD Sports Europe, said: “We’re definitely having a look at the Six Nations.
“How that plays out, we don’t know. How it fits into the ecosystem of what we’re doing, we don’t know.
“But international rugby definitely worked on our platform.
“Not just for the month of November, it also helped elevate Prem Rugby, which is also very important for us.
“Rugby is really key for us. The Autumn Nations Series was a huge success.

“We saw massive audiences come to our platform to really enjoy rugby, both as traditional rugby fans and new rugby fans.
“We actually started at Newcastle with Arsenal. And we know that 20 per cent of those football fans hung around to watch England v New Zealand.
“We look at all sports rights when they become available.”

STORM Herminia’s wrath continues today – with a map revealing a wave of rain hitting Britain as the Met Office issues a new yellow warning.
The storm will see parts of the country facing another day of disruption and flood threats.

Flood warnings and alerts are also in place[/caption]
The forecaster issued a yellow warning of spells of rain which could lead to localised flooding covering South and West Wales until 9pm today.
While Natural Resources Wales has removed a series of flood warnings, Libanus in the Brecon Beacons saw 34.6mm of rain on Monday and nine flood alerts remain in place.
Another yellow alert for rain covering parts of southern England runs until 10am on Tuesday, warning of heavy rain, possible thunderstorms and flooding.
Gusts of 84mph and almost 60mm of rainfall hit parts of southern England on Monday.
The Environment Agency has 37 flood warnings, where flooding is expected, in place in the south of England and the Midlands. A further 171 alerts, where flooding is possible, are in place across England.
The bad weather is linked to Storm Herminia, a low-pressure system named by meteorologists in Spain, which was expected to feel the strongest winds.
Somerset Council said a major incident in the region, jointly declared with the police and other agencies, would be maintained until further notice with more rain forecast on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Somerton Fire Station said 61 people were rescued from flooded properties, including a mobile home site in Charlton Adam, and temporarily relocated to Edgar Community Hall.
Met Office meteorologist Marco Petagna said the rain warnings are suggesting further flooding is possible until Tuesday evening.
He said: “The trend over the next few days is for things to gradually improve a bit.
“These warnings for rain are suggesting further flooding is quite possible, especially within the warning area.”
After a day of sunshine and showers on Tuesday, heaviest with the chance of hail and thunder in the south, the Met Office said rain is expected to ease overnight bar some heavy patches in the north of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Mr Petagna said Wednesday and Thursday will be mostly fine, but with a small chance, the far south of England could see some outbreaks of rain.

Around 50,000 customers remained without electricity across Northern Ireland on Monday evening after Storm Eowyn hit at the weekend, according to Northern Ireland Electricity Networks.
Scottish and Southern Electricity said it had restored power to 90,000 customers affected by Storm Eowyn and was working to reconnect a further 1,700.
Director of customer operations for the north of Scotland Andy Smith said: “This storm has been the most destructive for parts of our network in many years and rebuilding damaged overhead lines has been a huge task.”
5-day weather forecast
Today:
A day of sunshine and showers, the showers heaviest in the south where some hail and thunder is possible. Showers perhaps merging to longer spells of rain in the northeast. Local gales in the south and west, otherwise less blustery.
Tonight:
Showers mostly easing overnight, but some heavy downpours possible in northern parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Frost and patchy fog developing under any clear skies.
Wednesday:
Showers in the north on Wednesday, but dry for many. Cloud thickening across the very far south, with some outbreaks of rain, possibly heavy, affecting the far south coast.
Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:
After some early frost, mostly fine on Thursday with sunny intervals. Rain moving southeast on Friday with drier interludes on Saturday, although a continued risk of rain in the northwest.

“New year’s resolution, if that’s the right word, is I want to make about 500 million in about three years,” Katie declared on her podcast.
“Why are you laughing, Soph?” Katie asked her sister who was cracking up over her ambitious goal.
Sophie then replied: “I just wanna finish my house renovation – that’s my goal.”
“And there’s one way I’m gonna do that,” Katie added, before saying: “Win the f***ing lottery.”

DECLARED BANKRUPT IN 2024
Katie is currently bankrupt, with her last declared as so almost a year ago.
In March 2024, Katie was declared bankrupt for a second time.
The declaration came after an unpaid tax bill of £761,994.05.
The demand for payment was made by HMRC in October 2023.
Katie was due to give evidence about her finances at the High Court but failed to turn up – holidaying in Cyprus with her new man JJ Slater instead.
Katie Price's missing millions
At the peak of her career Katie had an estimated fortune of £45m, thanks to her lucrative modelling career, book deals, and TV appearances.
Katie was due to give evidence about her finances at the High Court but failed to turn up – holidaying in Cyprus with her new man JJ Slater instead.
Her Mucky Mansion was a bomb site for years after it was burgled, flooded and swamped by an overflowing septic tank.
She finally moved out at the end of May and is renting a four-bed mansion in Sussex.
Previously, the mum-of-five was declared bankrupt in 2019, after it was revealed that she owed £3.2 million to creditor, as well as HMRC, her mortgage company and various small businesses.
Then, after failing to pay back £12,000 a month to the creditors following various court hearings, her £2 million home, Mucky Mansion in West Sussex was repossessed in May.
LOOKING SLIMMER
This comes as fans share their concern for Katie after noticing how much she has slimmed down over the last few months.
She has insisted that the weight loss is not the result of popular weight loss jabs such as Ozempic.
