Sport1 US HD 1 option channel
An option channel was receivable from September 8, 2013 to summer 2015. This option channel was available via Sky Deutschland in the sports or football Bundesliga package with Premium HD and was used for live NFL, NBA, NHL and MLS games running at the same time. These games were later shown with a time delay on the normal Sport1 channel. This channel was launched mainly for the NFL Sunday evening, when both international games could be broadcast live.
