Ziggo Sport is a sports television channel in the Netherlands, operated by Ziggo and owned by VodafoneZiggo.[1] It is only available for Ziggo subscribers and broadcasts a variety of sports with a focus on major sporting events, a weekly talk show called "Peptalk," and sports-related films and documentaries. It also has a paid counterpart, Ziggo Sport Totaal, which can also be received by non-Ziggo subscribers. The channel started with a repeating promotional film on 2 November 2015, and officially launched on 12 November 2015.
History
In November 2014, Liberty Global took over Dutch cable company Ziggo, including the Sport1 premium sports channels.[2] On 12 November 2015, the Sport1 premium sports channels were rebranded as Ziggo Sport Totaal. During this rebranding, Liberty Global also launched a new Ziggo Sport channel that is available for all digital TV subscribers of Ziggo.[3]
Ziggo Sport is available in UHD as of March 2021.[4]
In May 2021, Ziggo Sport officially lost the broadcast rights for Formula One for 2022 and beyond. During 2016 and 2021, the Dutch sports channel attracted a large audience by broadcasting Formula One due to the rise of their fellow countryman, Formula One driver Max Verstappen.[5]
