When the channel launched, exclusive highlights on the channel were several football events such as the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, 2010 World Cup qualifications, the FA Cup and League Cup, as well as Formula One, NFL, boxing, cycling, GET-ligaen and Ice Hockey World Championship.[1]

In 2017, Viasat Sport in Norway has been renamed Viasport, and in 2020, Viasport has been rebranded to V Sport, the common brand for the NENT-owned sports channels.
