T Sports, also referred to as Titas Sports, is a Bangladeshi Bengali-language sports oriented television channel owned by East West Media Group, a subsidiary of Bashundhara Group. It is Bangladesh's first television channel dedicated to sports programming. In addition, T Sports added a high definition channel called T Sports HD which was launched on 9 January 2021.

History

In November 2013, the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission granted then state minister of liberation war affairs A. B. Tajul Islam–owned "Titas TV" a broadcasting license. Its frequency allocation was granted in May 2018. The channel was acquired by Bashundhara Group–owned East West Media Group from Millennium Media Limited; the channel was renamed "T Sports".

T Sports began broadcasting in late 2020, started with a televised football match between Bangladesh and Nepal on 9 November 2020. On the same day, it was announced that they would broadcast the Bangabandhu T20 Cup, a five-team Twenty20 cricket competition in Bangladesh. T Sports later began high-definition broadcasts on 10 January 2021.[citation needed] In August 2022, T Sports gained the rights of airing the 2022 FIFA World Cup to Bangladeshi audiences. T Sports launched its streaming app on 25 October 2022.[citation needed]

In February 2026, JioStar terminated its five-year sub-license broadcast and digital rights deal (2023–2027) with T Sports for the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Women's Premier League (WPL) with "immediate effect", citing continued payment defaults and unpaid dues for the 2025 season of IPL and WPL.

T Sports became the official Bangladeshi broadcaster of the 2026 FIFA World Cup along with Bangladesh Television and Somoy TV.
