One Sports (stylized in all lowercase) is a Philippine free-to-airtelevision network owned by Nation Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) and jointly operated by TV5 Network, Inc., both subsidiaries of MediaQuest Holdings, Inc. media arm of PLDT Beneficial Trust Fund. One Sports is currently carried through analog via DWNB UHF TV Channel 41 in Metro Manila and other relay and affiliate stations nationwide, and as a digital television subchannel in select areas of the country. It operates Mondays to Saturdays from 5:00 AM to 12:00 MN and Sundays from 6:00 AM to 1:00 AM, as well as on truncated hours during the Paschal Triduum or 24/7 during the 2024 Summer Olympics. However, starting Holy Week 2024, it continues to sign off from Maundy Thursday from 12:00 mn to Easter Sunday at 6:00 am.
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.[1]
History
Prior to the launch, it was then known as 5 Plus, a dedicated sports channel launched on January 13, 2019 replacing AksyonTV.[2][3]
On January 22, 2024, One Sports began broadcasting in anamorphic 16:9 aspect ratio. This change allowed for a widescreen presentation, optimizing the viewing experience 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, will be available in high-definition. The HD channel feed was launched the following day.[citation needed]
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 TV5 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.
One Sports+[a] is a Philippine pay TV channel owned by Cignal TV. It is the cable/satellite counterpart of the main One Sports channel. Unlike its terrestrial network counterpart, the channel broadcasts sports-related programs and live sporting events 24 hours a day, all year round.
The original One Sports channel was launched on January 9, 2019, on satellite provider Cignal, replacing Hyper. On March 8, 2020, following the launch of the One Sports brand on free-to-air television (replacing 5 Plus), the original One Sports channel on Cignal was rebranded as One Sports+, making them the fourth One-branded channel.[4]
