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. It operates Mondays to Saturdays from 5:00 AM to 12:00 AM and Sundays from 6:00 AM to 1:00 AM. It may operate in reduced hours during the Paschal Triduum or 24/7 during important sporting events (most notably, the 2024 Summer Olympics).

One Sports is owned by Nation Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) and 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.[1]

History

One Sports was originally known as 5 Plus, a dedicated sports channel which had launched on January 13, 2019, replacing the news channel AksyonTV.[2][3]

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 adopted the same branding coinciding with the start of the 2020 PBA season.[4] 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.[5]

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.

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, 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.[citation needed]
