One Sports (stylized in all lowercase) is a Philippine commercial free-to-air television network. It is currently broadcast in analog on DWNB UHF TV Channel 41 in Metro Manila and various other relay and affiliate stations across the country. It is also available as a digital television subchannel in selected areas. Its broadcast schedule runs from 5:00 AM to 12:00 AM, Monday through Saturday, and from 6:00 AM to 1:00 AM on Sundays. It may operate a reduced schedule during the Paschal Triduum or 24/7 during important sporting events (most notably, the 2024 Summer Olympics).
One Sports is owned by the Nation Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), and is jointly operated by NBC and TV5 Network, Inc., both subsidiaries of MediaQuest Holdings, Inc., the media arm of PLDT Beneficial Trust Fund. One Sports is the second MediaQuest channel launched under the One branding (presently known as the One Network Media Group), along with the English-language news channel One News, Filipino-language news/talk channel One PH, lifestyle portal One Life, and now-defunct premium entertainment channel One Screen.
History One Sports was originally known as 5 Plus, a dedicated sports channel which was launched on January 13, 2019, replacing the news channel AksyonTV.
On March 8, 2020, One Sports was launched as a free-to-air television channel by Cignal TV (which owns the said brand on its own cable channel) and TV5, with TV5 Network's sports division having adopted the same branding coinciding with the start of the 2020 PBA season. 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.
Following the closure of ABS-CBN Sports after 70 congressmen denied ABS-CBN Corporation's new franchise, One Sports replaced certain programming – such as the NFL, the NCAA (US) and Philippine Super Liga – with some sports whose rights were previously held by ABS-CBN Sports – such as the NBA, ONE Championship, UAAP, and Premier Volleyball League.
On February 1, 2024, One Sports ceased its affiliation in Cebu and Davao and was replaced by sister channel RPTV, which serves as an UHF relay of RPN-owned TV stations.
Transition to high-definition (2024) On January 22, 2024, One Sports began broadcasting in the anamorphic 16:9 aspect ratio. This change allowed for a widescreen presentation that was intended for viewers with compatible widescreen televisions. Around two months later, on March 14, Cignal TV announced that the channel, along with its sister channel RPTV, would be available in high-definition; the HD channel feed was launched the following day.
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 displaced from TV5 and RPTV by breaking news or other special programming. A selection of One Sports sports coverage is available online through their official website and various social media platforms.
