TEN Sports Network (established on 1 April 2002) is one of the leading sports networks in India. It was previously owned by Taj Television, the distribution arm of Zee Entertainment Enterprises before it was acquired by Sony Pictures Networks on 31 August 2016 in a deal worth $385 million.

Ten Network operates five sports channels – TEN 1, TEN 2, TEN 3, TEN Golf HD and TEN 1 HD.

It also has a Pakistani feed which broadcasts the matches the original TEN Sports headquarters does along with some which are not broadcast by the original one like matches of International Cricket Council, Asian Cricket Council etc.

The TEN Sports network owns long term broadcast rights for five cricket boards – South Africa, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Pakistan and Sri Lanka - offering its viewers the best of sports action round the clock.

The company was launched in the UAE as Taj Television by Emirati promoter Abdul Rehman Bukhatir along with a management team of CEO Mark Denton and Nikhil Diwadkar. Following the acquisition of broadcast rights to the 2002 FIFA World Cup, WWE, Formula 1 and UEFA Champions League , the "Ten Sports" channel operated by Taj Television became established as the most watched sports channel on Indian and Sri Lanka televisions. The business was sold to Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited in 2010 for a reported figure of 100 million USD. Taj TV also operated the Cricket Plus channel in North America, Goal TV in Asia, ASN in Asia, the Football Channel in Singapore and Showtime Sports in the Middle East during the period from 2004 to 2010.
