CNN Philippines Sports Desk (formerly Solar SportsDesk, or simply Sports Desk) is a Philippine sports news television program broadcast by CNN Philippines. It is CNN Philippines' go-to program for all-sports news, specials, and interviews with sports personalities here and around the world, hosted by sports journalist Charles Tiu on primetime and Andrei Felix on weekday mornings (also a sports anchor on CNN Philippines New Day and the morning edition of Newsroom). Sports Desk airs on weekdays at 11am (with a replay at 2:30pm) and 10pm, with a weekend recap edition on Saturdays at 12:30pm.

Sports Desk was first broadcast on cable TV channel Solar Sports from 2004-2007 and returned on Solar News Channel by December 3, 2012, with a simulcast on Solar Sports until August 2014 following SNC's rebrand as 9TV.

As part of the expansion, Sports Desk also serves as a sports segment on some CNN Philippines newscasts. However, when major rolling news stories break across their timeslots, the Sports Desk program would either interrupt or pre-empt its normal broadcast. For instance, should the morning edition be pre-empted by a rolling coverage, a replacement live broadcast will take place at the 2:30 pm rerun timeslot.

On September 3, 2017, the primetime edition of Sports Desk was moved to an earlier timeslot at 6:30pm, after News Night divides its full hour single newscast into two 30-minute editions. Three months later, on December 16, Halili stepped down from his anchor role as he left the CNN franchise. The program's basketball analyst Charles Tiu, brother of PBA veteran Chris Tiu, was named as an interim host for the early evening and late night editions.

The 6:30 edition of SportsDesk aired its final episode on December 29, 2017 to gave way to the full-time relaunch of Amanpour.[1] The cancellation was part of the network's reorganization. The remaining two editions remain intact.
