TAP Sports (stylized as tap Sports) is a Philippine pay television network of sports channels owned by TAP Digital Media Ventures Corporation. It was launched on April 14, 2019, under two separate channels carried by Sky Cable, and was later relaunched the following year.

The TAP Sports network has four channels: the main channel itself, and the Premier Sports channels.[1][2]

## History

[edit]

On April 14, 2019, TAP Sports was launched by TAP DMV on cable provider Sky Cable. Back then, it used to be broadcast on two separate channels covering all live tennis events: TAP Sports 1 (airing the men's ATP tournaments) and TAP Sports 2 (airing the women's WTA tournaments).[3]

On February 17, 2020, the TAP Sports network was relaunched, this time as a general sports channel replacing TAP Sports 1. On the same day, it launched 4 new sister channels: TAP W (women-centric sports; replacing TAP Sports 2), TAP Edge (action/adventure/outdoor sports; including EDGEsport programming), Premier Tennis (ATP and WTA), and Premier Football (soccer).

On September 20, 2021, TAP DMV launched Premier Sports, a complimentary channel of TAP Sports.
