Russia-2 (Russian: Россия-2) was a Russian television channel operated by VGTRK. It primarily broadcast sport.

Between 2007 and 2009 during the daytime, it broadcast the children's channel called Bibigon.[citation needed]

Before 1 January 2010, it was known as Sport, but since then it was re-branded due to a broadened format.[citation needed]

On 1 November 2015 the channel was closed and its broadcasting frequency was taken by a new sports television channel Match TV.
