CANAL8 Sport was a Danish television channel owned by

TV4 Group and C More Entertainment
.

The channel was announced on July 3, 2012. The channel replaced

Canal+ Sport 1 in Denmark.[1]

The reason for this is that after Canal+ lost the rights to the Premier League in 2010, they have a hard time keeping the subscribers in Denmark to their premium sports package. And thus it was decided to move the most popular sport with Danish viewer interest from a high pay channel to an advertising financing low pay channel. the channel is first of all a football channel and show matches from

Indycar Racing and Swedish Hockey League
.

Following this decision, the C More Sports package was not made available in Denmark.

An HD version of Canal 8 Sport was launched on June 3, 2013.

In the Summer of 2015,

Eurosport DK
.
