Basketball[edit]
Solar formerly held the rights to the National Basketball Association until September 30, 2019, when its contract with the league expired, shutting down cable channels Basketball TV and NBA Premium TV;[2][3] the expiration of Solar's NBA contract ended ABS-CBN's free-to-air broadcast rights to air NBA games, which is also from them and also ended Fox Sports' coverage of the NBA.
NBA announced on July 27, 2020, that it has signed a multi-year partnership with Cignal TV and Smart Communications to bring NBA games and programming to fans in the Philippines through free-to-air, satellite television and over-the-top streaming. Starting July 31, to coincide with the 2019–20 NBA season restart, free-to-air channels TV5 and ONE Sports will broadcast live NBA games for the first time, including four games every week. Cignal TV, on the other hand, launched an NBA-dedicated channel via NBA TV Philippines, which broadcasts live NBA games 7 days a week (including Finals).[4]
