About BT Sport 1

BT Sport 1 is part of a group of sports channels airing content in the UK and Ireland. It is owned by BT Group and it was launched on August 1, 2013. 

BT Sport caught the attention of the industry when BT Group announced they had won broadcasting rights to 38 Premier League games from the 2013-14 season, which was followed by the group’s announcement of their own sports network. The channel was launched on August 1, 2013 along with its sister channel, BT Sport 2.

BT Sport 1 has become one of the top sports channels in the world since its creation. Throughout its history, the channel has aired football games, rugby matches, hockey games, cricket clashes,  motor sport events and UFC fights. 

Speaking about football, the channel has aired games for some top-caliber moments from international competitions such as the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. BT Sport 1 has also aired some of the world’s best domestic leagues such as the Bundesliga, the French top-flight, the English Premier League, and the Scottish Premier League. The channel’s partnership with ESPN allows it to air some American sports, such as Major League Baseball games, college sports, and X-Games. ESPN’s documentaries are also available on BT Sport thanks to this agreement.

One of the most appealing features by BT Sport has to do with the personalities that have graced their panel over the years. Former footballers such as Rio Ferdinand, Michael Owen, Gary Lineker, Peter Crouch, Jim Beglin, Robin Van Persie, Paul Scholes and Jose Mourinho have played a role for this channel in their football coverage over the years.

BT Sport is available on most pay-tv carriers in the United Kingdom on both SD and HD. Users get to choose the kind of feed they want to watch at home when they hire their plan, which is why we encourage you to check availability and pricing for each feed.
