The brand was first used in the 1980s when then-owner Turner Broadcasting System initially used separate TNT Sports and TBS Sports brands for its separate American channels TNT and TBS, respectively, before introducing a unified Turner Sports brand in 1995. Turner Broadcasting merged into Time Warner in 1996, which in turn was acquired by AT&T in 2018 (which would become WarnerMedia). Turner Sports was then put into a new division known as WarnerMedia News & Sports.[1] 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.

In 2022, WBD was formed with the spin-off of WarnerMedia by AT&T, and its merger with Discovery, Inc. Turner Sports was then renamed as Warner Bros. Discovery Sports after its merger with the sports divisions for WarnerMedia and Discovery, with the brand also being used for the division managing 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 division as TNT Sports.[2]
