Is Sky blocking cycling? It's highly likely. This is not a gimmick or just another rumor making the rounds. It's been discussed for months, and now authoritative sources like Calcio e Finanza are reporting the details with precision.

Essentially, a breakdown is imminent between Sky Italia and Warner Bros: Discovery regarding the availability of Eurosport channels on Comcast's pay-TV. Currently, negotiations are stalled, the split between the two groups seems certain, and the exit of some Warner Bros channels from the Sky platform is inevitable. Goodbye to Discovery channels, including Eurosport 1, Eurosport 2, and Discovery Channel.

Sky certainly won't sit idle and is prepared to further strengthen its offering to replace the departing channels. After announcing Nations League matches and World Cup 2026 Qualifiers, it's highly probable that Sky will renew all "expiring" exclusive rights, such as Bundesliga for football, Wimbledon for tennis, basketball, and MotoGP.

Therefore, Sky subscribers, starting July 1st, will no longer be able to watch the Tour de France and other cycling events. The only options to enjoy the spectacle will be the Discovery+ app, TIM Vision, and Dazn. The same applies to two Grand Slam tennis tournaments held by Eurosport: Australian Open and Roland Garros will be unavailable.
