To do this, we are going to divide the channels into two sections. The first are those channels that are dedicated exclusively to sport in all its content. Second, we will see which are the channels that, occasionally, show some sports competitions of national interest, as is the case of the matches of the Spanish team or some semifinals and finals played by Spanish athletes.
DTT channels dedicated to sports
Teledeporte
The oldest sports channel that is still available in Spain. Despite the fact that he has spent a few years with poor audiences and has been walking a tightrope, Teledeporte continues to offer a multitude of competitions, such as the Olympic Games, swimming, water polo, athletics, cycling, motor (Rally, Dakar, Superbikes, Extreme E etc), horse riding, and a long etcetera.
GOAL
GOAL It is one of the three channels that may soon disappear from DTT, since Unidad Editorial, which owns its license, can sell it and the new buyer decides not to rent it. The channel currently broadcasts boxing, the World Padel Tour, the UFC (delayed), the futsal world cup, the best match of the Sacyr ASOBAL League, one LaLiga Santander open match per day, two open matches of LaLiga SmartBank per matchday, First Division Women’s matches, and one Europa League match per matchday.
Real Madrid TV
Ral Madrid TV broadcasts throughout Spain through DTT, and has programming dedicated to everything related to the white club, including historical reports of the club or informative with the latest news. In addition to DTT, it can also be seen nationwide on pay TV operators.
Barça TV
The channel dedicated to Barcelona It broadcasts on DTT only in Catalonia (in Catalan), although it can be seen throughout Spain through the television operators in its Spanish version when all programming is translated into Spanish. Barça TV It has newscasts and also with historical content of the team, including classic games.
Betis TV
On Seville We also find two autonomous DTT channels dedicated to the city’s two soccer teams. On Betis TV we also have the broadcast of historical games, news and stories from fans of the team. The channel can only be seen in Seville through DTT.
Sevilla FC TV
Like the Betis channel, we have news related to the other team in the city with Sevilla FC TV, with broadcast of historical games and special reports in which fans are interviewed or some historical fact of the team is reviewed. The channel can only be seen in Seville through DTT.
Channels that broadcast sports content occasionally
There are channels that broadcast important sports competitions nationwide, either because they are required by law to broadcast content of national interest openly, such as semifinals or finals in which Spanish teams or athletes play, or because they have bought the rights.
DMAX
DMAX It is owned by Discovery, who are the owners of Eurosport. Thus, it is normal to sometimes see the broadcast of some of its sports competitions in the open, such as the 24 hours of Le Mans (not complete), or semifinals or finals of tennis tournaments to which Spanish athletes arrive.
The 1
On The 1 We also find the broadcast of a multitude of sporting events together with Teledeporte. For example, the qualifying phases of the Spanish National Team for the World Cup or the European Championship are usually seen here. We can also see part of the Tour de France or La Vuelta after the news, as well as traditionally those who have broadcast the Olympic Games. Sometimes they also broadcast Formula 1 races that are held in Spain.
Telecinco and Cuatro
Finally, we have Telecinco, which has been taking over the rights to the Eurocup and the World Cup for years. Matches are usually broadcast in Cuatro and in Telecinco to make room for both emissions.
