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.
On March 8, 2020, One Sports was launched as a free-to-air television channel by Cignal TV and TV5, with TV5 Network's sports division 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 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.

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.
