There is a question worth settling before any of the technical ones: which Discovery+ do you actually want? The brand covers editions that hold different content, and the United States edition — the one a US connection points at — contains no sport whatsoever.
Discovery+ has not been sold in Spain since December 2024. This page covers where it still operates, which edition carries what, what Discovery+’s own terms say about location, and precisely which layer a residential US IP address moves.
This is the section that may save you the price of a subscription, so it goes first. “Discovery+” is one brand covering editions that are not the same product. They carry different content, they are sold in different markets, and in one case they are not even run by the same company.
If what you are after is a Warner Bros. Discovery sports feed, the United States edition is the wrong target. It has no sport in it at all.
| If you are reaching for… | The edition that has it | Does a US IP get you there? |
|---|---|---|
| Real-life entertainment — the factual and reality catalogue | The United States edition | This is the edition a US network location points at |
| Eurosport 1 and Eurosport 2 | The German and Austrian editions | No. These are not in the US edition |
| A sport tier | The Italian edition | No. Sold as its own tier in that market |
| TNT Sports | Neither — it moved to HBO Max on 26 March 2026 | No. It left Discovery+ entirely |
| A service called Discovery+ in Canada | A separate service operated by Rogers under the same brand | No. Different company, different product |
Spain is a former Discovery+ market. It closed in December 2024, in the same wave that took several neighbouring markets, and there is no Spanish Discovery+ service today.
The shape of that list changed twice in two years, which is why so much written about Discovery+ is now out of date. HBO Max arrived across Europe, and sport began moving off Discovery+ and onto it. An article from 2024 about which Discovery+ carries which competition is not slightly stale; it is describing arrangements that have since been dismantled.
| Market | Discovery+ today | Sport on Discovery+ |
|---|---|---|
| United States | Yes | No — real-life entertainment only |
| United Kingdom | Yes | No — TNT Sports left on 26 March 2026 |
| Ireland | Yes | Not established either way after March 2026 |
| Germany and Austria | Yes | Yes — Eurosport 1 and 2 |
| Italy | Yes | Sport tier only |
| Norway and Sweden | Yes | Select plans only |
| Canada | No — the WBD service closed 17 February 2026 | A separate Discovery+ operated by Rogers now uses the brand |
| Spain | No — closed December 2024 | — |
Read that table as a list of different products rather than a list of flags. The German and Austrian editions carry Eurosport 1 and 2. The Italian edition sells sport as its own tier. Norway and Sweden carry it on selected plans only. The United Kingdom carried it until 26 March 2026 and now does not. The United States never did.
Discovery+ is unusually direct about this, and the wording repays attention. It does not promise that reaching the service from elsewhere delivers that market’s full library. It says the content and features shift.
Shift is the operative word. A shifted catalogue is not the same as the local catalogue, and it is not the same as the one you left. It is whatever the rights allow at that moment, for that location, on that plan.
A programme in the US edition is there because someone licensed it for the United States. The same programme may sit with a different broadcaster in Spain entirely, on a different service, under a different name.
A title missing is usually a rights question, not a connection one.
Discovery+ notes that access to content can depend on the subscription plan as well as location. Two people on the same connection, on different plans, will not necessarily see the same thing.
Check the plan before blaming the network.
Discovery+ writes that profiles are limited to household members, as it determines. That is an account rule and it applies regardless of where the connection appears to come from.
No network setting is a household.
Underneath the question of which edition holds what, there is a simpler one that Discovery+ answers directly: which country does a subscription belong to? The answer is fixed at purchase, and everything else on this page follows from it.
Note what the definition does not depend on: where you happen to be, or what country your connection announces. It depends on where the subscription was taken out. Spain stopped being such a place in December 2024, and no procedure for moving a Home Country afterwards appears anywhere in either document.
Four layers decide what you see. A connection is one of them, and knowing which is what stops a licensing problem from being mistaken for a network one.
| Layer | What it controls | Does a residential US IP move it? |
|---|---|---|
| Network location | Which country your connection announces when Discovery+ loads a page or an app | Yes. One layer of four, and the only one any connection can affect. |
| Your account’s Home Country | Where a subscription was purchased — the country Discovery+ regards as its home | No. Discovery+ fixes this at the point of purchase and documents no way to change it afterwards. |
| Catalogue and feature rights | What a given market holds the rights to show, and what a given plan includes | Not directly. The company’s own verb is “shift”. A shifted catalogue is not the local one and not the one you came from. |
| The app store on your device | Whether your store account is offered the app at all | No. Store regions are set on the device and the store account, somewhere a network route never reaches. |
Run this before deciding anything. It is designed to produce a specific answer rather than a working stream, which is the more useful outcome when four different things can produce the same symptom.
Write down the actual programme you want. If it is a sports feed, stop here: the US edition does not carry sport, and the rest of this test cannot change that. If it is factual or reality programming, carry on.
Result: you are testing the right thing, or you have saved yourself the money.
Close every tab and quit the app first. A live session keeps whatever country it started with, and you will spend the next twenty minutes debugging a stored value rather than a network route.
Result: nothing carried over from the previous state.
Bring up the residential US connection and confirm with a public-IP checker that the reported country is the United States. Do this before opening Discovery+, not after.
Result: the network layer is confirmed rather than assumed.
Private windows start clean. Choose one plain on-demand programme, and read the exact words of anything that comes back — a page that will not load, a title that will not play, and a sign-in that is refused are three different diagnoses.
Result: a named symptom you can act on.

Desktop browsers show you what is happening. Phones, tablets and televisions add a store layer and a cache layer on top, which is why they are poor places to run a first test.
Import the USip profile, connect, confirm the reported country, then open a browser. Nothing sits between you and the service here, which is exactly what you want from a first test.
For the connection itself, work through the USip Windows guide first. This page picks up where that one stops — at the point Discovery+ starts making decisions.
macOS has privacy features that quietly change what a site sees, and a browser extension can do the same. Anything running alongside the connection will muddy the result.
For the connection itself, work through the USip Mac guide first. This page picks up where that one stops — at the point Discovery+ starts making decisions.
On iOS the app either exists for your store account or it does not, and that is settled before any network question. Safari separates the two cleanly.
For the connection itself, work through the USip iOS guide first. This page picks up where that one stops — at the point Discovery+ starts making decisions.
Play availability follows the account, not the connection, and sideloading does not change what Discovery+ serves. Chrome on the same handset is the control.
For the connection itself, work through the USip Android guide first. This page picks up where that one stops — at the point Discovery+ starts making decisions.
What USip provides is one residential US IP address: a consumer line on a US internet provider instead of a datacentre block. In the four-layer table further up, it moves the first row and leaves the other three untouched.
Billed €9.99 monthly after the 3-day trial.
Billed €39 twice a year after the trial.
Billed €69 annually after the trial.
The United States service has two plans. They are listed here because a page about reaching something should say what the something costs, and because the figures ought to come from the company rather than from a rounding.
| US plan | Monthly price | Advertising | Downloads |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discovery+ | $5.99 | Limited ads | Not listed |
| Discovery+ (Ad-Free) | $9.99 | No standard ads | Offline mobile downloads |
Read what is on screen before changing a setting. Each of these points somewhere different, and three of the four are not network problems at all.
Likely layer: public IP, a stored country value, a DNS route, or a second privacy tool running at the same time
Next check: quit Discovery+, verify the reported country independently, retry once in a clean private window
Likely layer: rights, not location. Discovery+ says content and features may shift by location — a specific title missing is the normal shape of that
Next check: try a second ordinary on-demand title before touching the connection at all
Likely layer: the edition. The US Discovery+ carries no sport, and TNT Sports left Discovery+ for HBO Max in March 2026
Next check: check the table at the top of this page — this one is not fixable by any network change
Likely layer: the store region, which belongs to the device and the store account
Next check: run the same test in a desktop browser; if the browser works, the network was never the obstacle
Each answer traces to a quotation on this page or to a source in the list below. Where nothing was established, the answer says so.
No. Discovery+ closed in Spain in December 2024, in the same wave that closed several neighbouring European markets. Warner Bros. Discovery published a notice for the Danish closure in that wave; the Spanish one is reported by trade press rather than by a company notice this guide could retrieve.
No. The United States edition is real-life entertainment and carries no sport at all. Eurosport 1 and 2 are on the German and Austrian editions, and Italy sells sport as its own tier. A US network location does not reach any of them.
To HBO Max, on 26 March 2026. TNT Sports published the change itself: it is no longer available to stream on Discovery+. That applies to the Discovery+ service generally, not only to one market.
That is settled by Discovery+'s Terms of Use, not by a guide summarising them. The US and international documents are both linked whole in the Sources section below, and between them they set out what Discovery+ allows. Read them first.
Discovery+ does not say that. It says content and features may shift based on location. Shifting is not matching, and rights are bought market by market, so a given title may sit with a different service in Spain entirely.
No. Warner Bros. Discovery closed its own Canadian service on 17 February 2026. A different Discovery+, operated by Rogers Sports & Media, now uses the brand there. It is a different company's product.
Discovery+'s help centre states up to four devices at once, and its terms note the number can vary by plan. Profiles are separately limited to members of your household, as Discovery+ determines.
The country your connection reports when a page or app loads. Not your account's Home Country, not what any market is licensed to show, and not the region of an app store. Those are the other three layers in the table above.
Every service on this list draws its lines somewhere else. That is the reason to read more than one.
Everything quoted above comes from one of these documents. Where a claim could not be traced to one, this page says so where it matters rather than burying it here.
What this page does not claim. Nothing here asserts anything about Eurosport or HBO Max in the Spanish market specifically — that was not researched, so it is not stated. The Spanish closure is well reported but the only company-published notice retrieved for that wave is Danish. The geo-availability wording was read from a US connection requesting the address directly, so this page does not claim it is what a Spanish visitor is sent to. And Discovery+’s live pricing page could not be loaded, so the figures come from a help-centre page carrying no last-updated date. Checked 14 September 2026.
What USip sells is a residential US IP connection, and nothing else. Which edition of Discovery+ holds which programme is decided by Warner Bros. Discovery and by the rights it has bought, market by market.
