MTG launched a dedicated Danish version of its Viasat Sport channel in January 2002.

This channel would replace the Danish version of Viasat Sport 1 (as it was then called).

The original launch of TV 2 SPORT was set to 1 March 2007, but the launch had to be postponed since an investigation by the Danish Competition Authority caused a delay.

The Competition Authority gave its permission to the establishment of TV 2 SPORT on 11 April 2007, and later that day the channel began broadcasting.

On 8 October 2012, it was announced that MTG would buy TV 2's share of TV 2 SPORT,[1] however the deal did not go through until 19 December 2012 when the Competition Authority approved the deal, on the condition that MTG would abide by certain rules until major football TV rights (Danish Superliga, UEFA Champions League) are renegotiated in 2015.
