About

TV4 Sport Live 1 History, Coverage, Features

C More Live is a family of television channels owned and operated by C More. It is owned and operated by the Swedish media communication company TV4. C More’s channels were launched in 1997 as Canal+, but they would undergo a rebranding process in 2010, which would see this particular set of channels being named Canal+ Extra. Eventually, this family of channels would settle for the name C More Live in 2012. After a few changes, C More Live has included five channels in recent years: C More Live 1, C More Live 2, C More Live 3, C More Live 4, and C More Live 5.

Over the years, C More Live has made a name for itself for broadcasting live events, most of them having something to do with sports. C More Live 1 has been in charge of airing the most relevant live event taking place when there are two or more being played. Some of the disciplines covered on this channel have included football, basketball, golf, handball, ice hockey, tennis, sailing, equestrian competitions, and more. 

Speaking about football, C More Live 1 has shared broadcasting rights with its sister channels for some of the top club competitions in the world. Those tournaments have included La Liga, the Italian Serie A, the Portuguese Primeira Liga, the MLS, and more.

C More Live 1 was launched as a Standard Definition channel, but with the network developed a High-Definition feed that was launched in 2012 to go with the channel’s rebranding. Both feeds might still be available in some regions for users to watch.

Transition of C More to TV4 Play:

In August 2023, Telia's Swedish television arm, C More, transitioned to TV4 Play, significantly consolidating its digital offerings. This strategic shift saw subscriptions being migrated to corresponding TV4 Play packages to provide a broader spectrum of services backed by a robust content lineup. Further emphasizing the change, the Nordic telco Telia introduced its new streaming service, TV4 Play, as a successor to the C More brand. Subscribers of C More had benefited from TV4 Play's enhanced content offerings, especially through its Plus packages, which presented options for both ad-supported and ad-free content.
