SuperSport is a South African-based pan-African television channel group that operates on the DSTV and Canal+ satellite platforms as well as the Gotv terrestrial platform. It provides sports content in South Africa, Nigeria, and several other African countries.

Initially, SuperSport also operated in Europe, specifically in Scandinavian, Benelux, Italian, Eastern European, Greek, and Cypriot regions, and was a sports channel started by FilmNet, which at that time was owned by Multichoice. Their current name is True Sport and they also operated under the name of Egyptian cable network (CNE) and Arab Radio and Television Network in Egypt and the Middle East.

The channel broadcasts most major sporting events and leagues including association football, rugby, cricket, tennis, golf, motor sports, cycling, boxing, wrestling, hockey, athletics. It was previously the world's largest broadcaster of live rugby and cricket (surpassed by Sky Sports), and the second-largest Premier League broadcaster, broadcasting live in HD through its content service Senior via Premier League.

In addition to its satellite channels, SuperSport also provides content on M-Net, CSN, and occasionally M-Net HD. By September 2020, like Sky Sports, SuperSport had started running thematic channels, where most major sports have their own dedicated channel.
