Telegraph Media Group Limited (TMG; previously known as the Telegraph Group) is the proprietor of The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Telegraph, functioning as a subsidiary under Press Holdings. Ownership transferred to David and Frederick Barclay in July 2004 after they acquired the company from Hollinger Inc., the Canadian media conglomerate led by Conrad Black, following a competitive bidding process.

For the financial year ending January 2016, TMG declared an operating profit of £51 million. Unaudited financial statements revealed pre-tax profits of £47 million alongside revenues amounting to £319 million over a 53-week period, demonstrating an increase compared to 2014 results.

In 2023, TMG broadened its holdings by purchasing The Chelsea Magazine Company, known for publishing magazines such as Classic Boat.

As a comprehensive multimedia news organization, Telegraph Media Group produces daily and weekly newspapers in both print and digital formats, delivering content across diverse areas including politics, finance, lifestyle, travel, health, culture, technology, fashion, and automotive sectors.

Following the receivership of its Bermuda-based parent company B.UK in June 2023, TMG was placed on the market and directors Howard and Aidan Barclay were dismissed. In May 2025, investment firm RedBird Capital Partners revealed intentions to acquire the publisher for an estimated £500 million ($674 million).
