Liga was the official broadcast partner of the 2018 FIFA World Cup and the 2018 FIFA World Cup European Qualifiers in Russia, along with S+A.[1][2] Aside from FIFA World Cup, the channel also broadcast local and international sports coverage including from the MPBL, ABL, NCAA, UAAP, PVL, Philippine Azkals matches, Pinoy Pride Fights, ONE Championship Fights and classic basketball and volleyball games from the UAAP.

In May 2020, the channel became interim replacement of the ABS-CBN Sports and Action (S+A) which ceased free-to-air broadcast operations as ordered by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) on May 5, 2020, due to the lapsing of its legislative franchise.
