TNT Sports have decided not to make the Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal free-to-air - but there is still a way to watch at a much lower cost than usual.
PSG and Arsenal contest the final match of the European domestic season on Saturday evening in Budapest.
TNT have previously made the Champions League final free-to-air to viewers, but that is not the case this year.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer requested that the final be free to view earlier this week, but TNT did not alter their plans despite significant criticism from viewers.

A standalone TNT Sports subscription comes in at £30.99 per month, which fans without a subscription baulked at having to pay to watch a single match.
But TNT have decided to make the final available for a much lower one-off cost - albeit still without being free-to-air.
The final will be broadcast via the HBO Max platform, which viewers can subscribe to for £4.99 per month.
TNT made the announcement in a media release earlier this month, with the Europa League and Conference League also being broadcast on HBO Max.
A basic subscription with ads costs £4.99 for a single month, while a standard subscription with ads costs £5.99.
A standard subscription with TNT Sports included normally comes in at £40.98 per month, but TNT have elected to make the European finals separate from that package.
"Having three Premier League clubs reach the final shows the strength of English football and something that we are proud to continue to support," a TNT Sports spokesperson stated earlier this month.
"We have made all three UEFA finals this year available from just £4.99, the price for a month-long subscription to HBO Max that also includes the great entertainment on the service. This represents exceptional value for fans to watch the conclusion of the competitions."
TNT Sports presenting team for Champions League final
TNT's Champions League final coverage is being led by presenter Laura Woods, with pitchside reporter Jules Breach also involved in pre and post-match coverage.
Steven Gerrard, Owen Hargreaves and Arsenal legend Martin Keown are all on punditry duty, with appearances from former Arsenal players Jack Wilshere, Jens Lehmann and Gilberto Silva.
Darren Fletcher and Ally McCoist will be on commentary for the final. TNT also often add a second co-commentator to their Champions League coverage but this has not been confirmed ahead of kick-off.
