ABS-CBN Sports


ABS-CBN Sports is the sports division of the Philippine media conglomerate ABS-CBN, which airs some of the notable sporting events in the Philippines.
ABS-CBN Sports began in 1998 as the main broadcaster for the network-backed basketball league Metropolitan Basketball Association which introduced the home-and-away play format in the Philippine basketball landscape. Simultaneous with that, it acquired the broadcast rights to the University Athletic Association of the Philippines and National Collegiate Athletic Association collegiate basketball leagues, which bolstered Studio 23's ratings and at the same time aligned further toward the said channel's programming thrust to the youth.
ABS-CBN Sports also supplant contents to their sports channel S+A aired on UHF Channel 23 and SkyCable Channel 166. The division also maintains their official website, sports.abs-cbn.com, one of the top sports news websites in the Philippines.
On August 31, 2020, ABS-CBN Corporation announced that its sports division will cease its operations following the cease-and-desist order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission due to the expiration of ABS-CBN's legislative franchise to operate and its denial of a new franchise by the House of Representatives.
