JOJ Šport

JOJ Šport is a Slovak sports television brand operated by JOJ Group, comprising two channels: the main JOJ Šport, which began regular broadcasting on 6 October 2021, and the supplementary JOJ Šport 2, launched on 21 January 2025. Both channels broadcast 24 hours a day and focus primarily on live sports events, sports news, publicist programmes and themed magazines. The main channel launched at 19:50 on 6 October 2021 with a ceremonial welcome from a new studio hosted by moderator Slávo Jurko, followed by a live broadcast of a volleyball Champions League match. At its inception the station focused not only on major international competitions but also on regional and minority sports that had previously received limited television coverage. Over time it acquired broadcasting rights to prestigious international competitions, shifting its programming towards top-level sport. In connection with the expansion of its broadcasting rights portfolio, JOJ Group announced the creation of a second sports programme, JOJ Šport 2, which began broadcasting on 21 January 2025. The new station was created primarily to allow simultaneous broadcasting of multiple live sports events that could no longer be placed on a single channel. According to the broadcaster's management, the second channel is intended to provide more space for domestic and foreign competitions and to support the presentation of Slovak sport. Both channels are available in paid terrestrial DVB-T2 broadcasting via multiplex 1, on the internet platform JOJ Play, and in the offerings of most Slovak cable, satellite and IPTV operators. JOJ Šport 2 was gradually added to individual operators' offerings upon launch, and its availability continued to expand during 2025. The channels hold broadcasting rights across a range of sports. In ice hockey these include the Ice Hockey World Championship, the World U20 Championship, the World U18 Championship and the Slovak Extraliga. In football they include the FIFA World Cup, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Conference League and the Tipsport Liga. Other sports include the Alpine Skiing World Cup, the Diamond League in athletics, the Slovak Basketball League, the Volleyball Extraliga and other domestic and international competitions in cycling, handball, figure skating, gymnastics and motorsport.
