Canal+ Sport is a French TV channel devoted to sports programming and is part of the "Les Chaînes Canal+" themed channels of Canal+.

History

Canal+ Vert launched on 31 August 1998, on satellite and cable, as a channel retransmetting sports coverage.

As part of the creation of the Canal+ Bouquet (later, Les Chaînes Canal+") the channel changed its name on 1 November 2003 to Canal+ Sport.

On 20 April 2005, Canal+ Sport presented its candidacy to the CSA to obtain a frequency on the French digital terrestrial television service. The application had been selected, so, as a result, the CSA assigned a frequency on the multiplex R3 pay DTT, starting on 21 November 2005.

Starting on 8 June 2010, it has started to broadcast its programming in high-definition television.

In 2024, Canal+ Sport was a candidate for the renewal of its authorization to broadcast on national digital terrestrial television service, set to expire in 2025.[1] It presented its candidacy on 8 July.

On 24 July 2024, Arcom announced that it would not renew C8's DTT frequency. As a result, on 5 December, it was announced that the Canal+ S.A. would remove all its pay channels starting on 6 June 2025.[2]
