Ltd.,[1] launched after Discovery India took control of their DSport channel.[2] 1Sports broadcast live sporting action from around the world, including high-profile content such as I-League.[3] The channel ceased broadcasting on 21 November 2023.

History

On 6 February 2017 Discovery Communications (DC) launched the DSport channel to broadcast different kinds of sports in the Indian subcontinent.[4] Since then Venkateish (owner of Lex Sportel) acquired broadcast rights of multiple events which were broadcast on DSport, until November 2019.[citation needed] In January 2020 Discovery applied a name change of their sports channel to Eurosport, which was challenged by Lex Sportel as the one who made the uplinking license deal of the channel.[5] Delhi High Court ruled in favour of Discovery and as a result Lex Sportel went out of the deal. Then Lex Sportel started showing ads about the launch of their new channel and a scroll text on DSport channel that contents of the channel belongs to Lex Sportel's server based in Hong Kong,[citation needed] until 24 January when Discovery took full control of the channel. Though this was scheduled to take effect on 14 February, Discovery took control of the channel three weeks before the original date, but the court dismissed the matter.[6] Finally, on 28 January Lex Sportel launched their own channel, 1Sports. The channel ceased its operations on 21 November 2023.
