Orange Sport (formerly Boom Sport, Dolce Sport and Telekom Sport) was a group of Romanian sports television channels owned by Orange Romania and available exclusively to its television subscribers.

The first channel was launched on 11 November 2006 by satellite television broadcaster Boom Extrasatelit. After the company became insolvent, satellite television subscribers and sports channels were sold to Romtelecom, which rebranded the channels as Dolce Sport on 13 August 2010.[1] After rebranding of Romtelecom to Telekom, it were rebranded as Telekom Sport on 12 September 2017.[2] After Orange Romania acquired Telekom Romania in 2021, which included its fixed-line services, the sports television channels were rebranded to Orange Sport on 28 March 2022.[3]

The group of television channels owned the rights to broadcast the NBA in Romania from its launch in 2006 until its closure on 30 June 2024.[4]
