PBA Rush is a 24/7 exclusive channel of Cignal, which has been currently airing games of the Philippine Basketball Association. The channel is patterned after NBA TV and was launched on July 5, 2016. The 3-year partnership agreement between Cignal and the PBA was signed on July 17, 2016 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, 2 days after the opening of the 2016 PBA Governors' Cup.[1][2]

Aside from the live telecast of the PBA games (in English commentary), other programming included in PBA Rush are same-day replays of PBA games, games from the PBA D-League,[2] and behind-the-scenes shows such as Kuwentong Gilas.[1] The channel currently focuses on the ongoing season and conference.[1][3]
