Teledeporte

Teledeporte is a Spanish free-to-air sports television channel operated by Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE). It specializes in live sports coverage, events, and related programming, with a focus on national and international competitions.

The channel was created to provide continuous sports programming as part of RTVE's public-service remit, launching in the mid-1990s as a dedicated sports channel and later expanding across digital terrestrial television and other platforms.

Teledeporte broadcasts a wide range of sports, including football, basketball, tennis, cycling, athletics, motor sports, and winter sports. It often carries events for which RTVE holds broadcasting rights, and it also offers supplementary programming such as sports news, highlight shows, and analysis. The channel's schedule is supplemented by programming from RTVE's main networks when rights allow.

In Spain, Teledeporte is available via digital terrestrial television, as well as via cable, satellite, and the internet through RTVE's online platforms, such as RTVE Play, which provides live streams and on-demand access.

As part of RTVE, Teledeporte is funded as a public service and aims to provide accessible sports coverage, including major national events and international competitions that attract broad audience interest. It complements RTVE's other channels by delivering 24-hour sports programming and focused coverage.
