NRK Sport is a brand name for sports programming produced by the sports department of Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK). The brand name is used on most national sports broadcasts on television, radio and new media.^[1] NRK Sport is produced both in Norway and other countries.

NRK Sport is also a radio station, which broadcasts sports programming via DAB and the internet in Norwegian.

Programming

The station airs live self-produced commentary of sports events of football matches and where NRK does not have the TV rights, and simulcasted audio from NRK1 if NRK do have the TV rights.

As of February 2024, NRK Sport had live broadcasts of, but not limited to:

UEFA Conference League
UEFA Women's Champions League
Norwegian Football Cup
Handball national team tournaments
FIS Cross-Country World Cup (simulcast from NRK1)
