Sport1 is a Dutch premium television service owned by Chellomedia, the European content division of Liberty Global. Sport1 launched together with its sister service Film1 on February 1, 2006 and replaced the Canal+ Netherlands channels. At launch the service consisted of two main channels, six extra channels and one HD simulcast of the first main channel. On February 2, 2009 the number of extra channels was reduced to four. The extra channels only broadcast when necessary to live broadcast multiple sport events at the same time.

The channels are available on digital cable of most Dutch cable companies. Satellite provider CanalDigitaal only provides the two main channels.
