Go3 Sport is a group of sports television channels available in the Baltic States. The channel was launched 7 January 2009 as Viasat Sport Baltic. Along with Viasat Golf it replaced Viasat Sport 2 and Viasat Sport 3 for viewers on the Viasat platform in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.[1]

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]

On 8 August 2023, TV3 Sport was rebranded as Go3 Sport.

As with other channels of the All Media Baltics group in the Baltic states, it switched to HD broadcasting on 26 July 2018.[4]

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.
