The original One Sports channel was launched on January 9, 2019 on satellite provider Cignal, replacing Sports5-run Hyper. One Sports is the second MediaQuest channel launched under the One branding, along with the English-language news channel One News, Filipino-language news/talk channel One PH, premium entertainment channel One Screen, and major free TV channel One TV.[1]

On March 8, 2020, One Sports was relaunched as a free-to-air television channel, merging its programming with its counterpart 5 Plus; as TV5 Network's sports division adopted the same branding coinciding with the start of the 2020 PBA season. Meanwhile, the original satellite One Sports channel has been rebranded as One Sports+, making them as the fifth One-branded channel.[2]

From March 30 to June 14, 2020, the terrestrial network temporarily suspended its broadcast due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the enforcement of the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon.[3]

Programming

One Sports programming includes extreme sports, collegiate sports, e-sports, sports entertainment, and other sports-related content. The network may take on the responsibility of airing sports programs produced by One Sports division in the event that 5 is unable to carry them due to breaking news or any special programming. A selection of One Sports sports coverage will be made available online through their official website and various social media platforms.
