SPOTV is a South Korean pay television network, which features sports programming and some sports-related talk shows. Founded in 2010, the network is the fourth premium sports network in South Korea following by KBS N Sports, MBC Sports+ and SBS Sports (the latter two of which were previously founded under a joint venture with ESPN International in the early 2000s and 2010s respectively).
On December 1, 2015, The Daily Dot reported that SPOTV may be acquiring the rights to broadcast League of Legends Champions Korea from OnGameNet (now called OGN) for its sister channel SPOTV Games, which mostly aired eSports tournaments, before it was rebranded as STATV in March 2020, which focus on athletes and celebrities. They also got SPOTV ON, which aired sports that didn't usually air on SPOTV & SPOTV2, along with SPOTV Golf & Health for golf and wellness. SPOTV Now, a sports-dedicated streaming service similar to DAZN and ESPN+, has also launched, not just in South Korea, but also recently in Southeast Asia.
