Eleven Sports Network is an American sports-oriented cable and satellite television channel. Owned by Eleven Sports, the network is primarily devoted to international sports. The network launched in March 2017, after it acquired distribution assets of the now-defunct One World Sports.
In March 2017, the U.S. international sports channel One World Sports was silently replaced by Eleven Sports Network with no advance announcement. One World Sports' staff had been furloughed as a cost-cutting measure in November 2016, and it was reported that the network was exploring a sale.
On March 16, 2017, Eleven Sports officially announced that it had acquired "certain distribution assets" of One World Sports. Financial details of the sale were not disclosed. Group Marketing Director Danny Menken explained that Eleven planned to target rights to niche international sports that have fanbases in the United States (as opposed to its business model in other territories, where Eleven targets the top international sports rights in smaller markets).
In response to questions surrounding employees and freelancers of One World Sports that had not yet been paid for their work, he emphasized that they had only acquired "certain distribution assets", and that "people that have issues with [OWS] have to contact management, but we have no shares or relationship beyond the acquisition of distribution assets."
