This repeats last season's model for the three matches.
TNT Sports owner Warner Bros Discovery is expected to show the games on Discovery Plus.
But we know now that cable viewers will have a dedicated channel on Virgin Media too.
The firm has confirmed to The Sun that the games will air free for all on a special popup TNT Sports channel - meaning you won't need a TNT subscription.
All viewers have to do is tap 527 onto their remotes to watch.
It starts with the Uefa Europa League final face-off between Manchester United and Spurs on May 21.
Then on May 28 it's the Uefa Conference League final with Chelsea taking on Real Betis.
And finally, Inter Milan and PSG battle it out for the Uefa Champions League trophy on May 31.
Tottenham will be hoping to lift a trophy for the first time since 2008 when the team won the League Cup.
However, United and Spurs were both mocked over the weekend for both losing 2-0 at home to West Ham and Crystal Palace respectively, amid struggles in Premier League this season.
Meanwhile, Virgin Media has been bolstering its sports output since the loss of Eurosport earlier this year.
The broadcasting giant added a dedicated 24/7 rugby channel Premier Sports Rugby.
It shows events including the Investec Champions Cup, EPCR Challenge Cup, the United Rugby Championship and some of the biggest games from the TOP14.

The 'amazing' way Kate Middleton' shows up for her children revealed by fellow school mom
She may be a royal, but Kate Middleton is like any other mom when it comes to her kids' sporting events. Despite her busy schedule, one of Kate's fellow school moms has revealed that she is often cheering her son on at his school soccer and rugby matches. The Real Housewives of London star Panthea Parker spoke about it to Hello! Magazine during a recent interview. 'I see her quite a few times because my son's school plays against her son's school,' the TV star shared. 'They play rugby and football against each other so we're always at her school or my school. I do see her a lot but not to talk to, just from afar.' Panthea went on to praise the Princess of Wales for being there to support her kids while also managing her immense royal commitments. '[She's] so classy, so lovely, and she never misses any of her children's matches, so really amazing,' she gushed. 'And nor do I, otherwise how do I know that?' Panthea has three kids with her husband, Ed Parker, aged 11, nine, and eight; she also has a son, 30, from a past marriage. She didn't specify which of Kate and Prince William's kids she was referring to; the couple share sons Prince George, 12, and Prince Louis, seven, and daughter Princess Charlotte, 10. It comes after news hit the web that the couple were looking to move their family from Adelaide Cottage into an eight-bedroom Forest Lodge property in Windsor Great Park. An insider told the BBC that they will be relocating to the 'forever home' by the end of the year, and are hoping for a 'fresh start' after a difficult time at Adelaide Cottage, during which Queen Elizabeth died and Kate and Charles received cancer diagnoses. With its chandelier-lit ballroom, tennis court and extensive grounds, Forest Lodge is a considerable upgrade from the cozy four-bedroom Adelaide Cottage where the prince and princess and their young family have lived for the last three years. Renovations are reportedly underway at the property to enable it to be ready for the family to move in before the end of the year. A source close to the family said: 'Windsor has become their home. However, over the last few years while they have lived at Adelaide Cottage there have been some really difficult times. 'Moving gives them an opportunity for a fresh start and a new chapter; an opportunity to leave some of the more unhappy memories behind.' The Waleses' move will be a short one from their current main home at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, and the children attend nearby Lambrook School. It comes after news hit the web that the couple were looking to move their family from Adelaide Cottage into an eight-bedroom Forest Lodge property in Windsor Great Park (pictured) The home offers spectacular views, and Soccer fan William will be able to see the Wembley Arch from his bedroom window. The family first moved to Windsor in 2022, where they settled at the humble Adelaide Cottage a short walk away. It is believed the move out of London was to allow the family to be closer to the late Queen and to give the children a more ordinary way of life with more privacy. Adelaide Cottage also provided a private and tranquil setting for Kate's recovery from chemotherapy after she was diagnosed with cancer last year. The family has no live-in staff at their current home and this is also reportedly set to be the case once they move into this bigger abode. A Kensington Palace spokesperson told the Daily Mail: 'The Wales family will move house later this year.'
