On 10 August 2018, the Viasat Sport Baltic channel changed its name to TVPlay Sports. [2] A second channel, TVPlay Sports+, was launched in October.

On 1 December 2019, the channels TVPlay Sports changed their name to TV3 Sport and TVPlay Sports+ to TV3 Sport 2. In January 2021, TV3 Group started broadcasting a new channel, TV3 Sport Open, expanding the group's range of sports programs. [3]

The content is divided between four channels: Go3 Sport 1, Go3 Sport 2, Go3 Sport 3 and Go3 Sport Open. The fifth channel, Go3 Sport 4 (back then known as TV3 Sport 4), was closed in April 2021 due to reductions in live transmissions. However, the channel is still available on the Go3 streaming platform, in case of extra live transmissions.
