ON Sport New Frequencies 2026
If ON Sport disappeared after a recent retune, or your receiver still finds the old channel name but no picture, the first thing to check is the transponder—not the whole receiver. The current ON Sport New Frequencies 2026 are different from the older 11862 value that still appears on some outdated pages.
If you also store premium sports channels on the same receiver, keep their settings in a separate favourites group so you do not mix free-to-air and subscription networks. For those channels, use the current beIN SPORTS Channels Frequencies 2026 as a separate tuning reference.
Use the current ON Sport values instead of the old 11862 setting
Last checked: 12 September 2026. Nilesat’s current channel table lists ON SPORT HD, ON SPORT MAX HD and ON SPORT PLUS HD on 11977 MHz with vertical polarity, a 27500 symbol rate and 5/6 FEC. The same network also has SD entries on 12015 MHz with the same polarity, symbol rate and FEC.
| Channel | Frequency | Polarity | Symbol rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON SPORT HD | 11977 | Vertical (V) | 27500 |
| ON SPORT MAX HD | 11977 | Vertical (V) | 27500 |
| ON SPORT PLUS HD | 11977 | Vertical (V) | 27500 |
| ON SPORT | 12015 | Vertical (V) | 27500 |
| ON SPORT MAX | 12015 | Vertical (V) | 27500 |
| ON SPORT PLUS | 12015 | Vertical (V) | 27500 |
If you are building a wider Arabic sports list after fixing ON Sport, save every network as a separate entry. The current Iraqia Sport Channel Frequency 2026 should be entered independently rather than copied into the ON Sport search screen.
Watch the same sports categories through IPTV without retuning a dish
If you prefer internet-based viewing instead of adjusting satellite transponders, you can compare the IPTV packages currently offered by Store SAT. Before paying, check the live package price, actual channel list, supported devices and whether the specific sports channel you want is included.
An IPTV player app and an IPTV subscription are separate products, and no package should be assumed to include ON Sport, MAX or PLUS unless the current channel list says so.
Retune ON Sport manually without resetting your full channel list
A manual transponder search is safer than a full blind scan when only one network changed frequency. It keeps your channel order and favourites intact while adding the updated services.
- Open your receiver’s Installation, Satellite Setup or Manual Search menu.
- Select Nilesat at 7° West and confirm the correct LNB input.
- Enter 11977 as the frequency, choose Vertical (V), then enter 27500 as the symbol rate.
- If your receiver asks for FEC, choose 5/6; otherwise leave it on Auto.
- Run a search on that transponder only, then save ON SPORT HD, MAX HD and PLUS HD.
- If you also want the SD versions, repeat the process with 12015 V 27500.
If you also follow Saudi premium sports, keep those services in another favourites group instead of mixing their transponders with ON Sport. Use the dedicated SSC Sports Saudi Channels Frequencies 2026 values for that network.
If ON Sport still does not appear, check these causes before changing the frequency again
Entering the correct frequency is only one part of the setup. If the receiver reports zero quality or finds unrelated channels, work through the signal path before assuming the 2026 values have changed again.
- Wrong satellite: make sure the search is running on Nilesat 7°W, not a nearby orbital position.
- Old transponder: 11862 carries ON E and ON Drama in the current Nilesat table, not the ON Sport HD group.
- Wrong polarity: both current ON Sport transponders use Vertical (V).
- Low signal quality: inspect dish alignment, cable connectors and LNB settings if quality is near zero.
- Duplicate services: keep the newly found channel first, test it, then remove the old duplicate.
If another Gulf sports network is missing at the same time, troubleshoot it independently instead of testing it with ON Sport values. For Kuwait’s sports services, use the separate Kuwait Sports Channels Frequencies 2026 reference.
Choose the correct ON Sport version for your receiver and picture quality
The current Nilesat table shows both HD and non-HD entries. If your receiver supports HD, start with 11977 because that transponder carries the HD versions of ON SPORT, MAX and PLUS. Older receivers can also try the 12015 SD entries.
This page focuses on the confirmed Nilesat entries. Do not enter an “Arabsat ON Sport” value simply because a third-party page lists one; use a satellite operator or broadcaster-confirmed value before changing your dish setup.
For another UAE sports network, use its own satellite and transponder details rather than copying ON Sport settings. The current Abu Dhabi Sports Channels Frequency 2026 is the appropriate next reference before the FAQ.
Frequently asked questions about ON Sport frequencies
What is the current ON Sport HD frequency on Nilesat?
ON SPORT HD, ON SPORT MAX HD and ON SPORT PLUS HD are currently listed on 11977 MHz, Vertical (V), symbol rate 27500 and FEC 5/6.
Is 11862 still the ON Sport frequency?
Not for the current ON Sport HD group. Nilesat currently lists ON E and ON Drama on 11862 V 27500, while the ON Sport HD services are on 11977 V 27500.
What is the second ON Sport frequency?
Nilesat also lists ON SPORT, ON SPORT MAX and ON SPORT PLUS on 12015 MHz, Vertical (V), symbol rate 27500 and FEC 5/6.
Why does my receiver show signal strength but no ON Sport channel?
Strength alone does not confirm the correct transponder. Check signal quality, the selected satellite, vertical polarity and the exact frequency before rescanning.
Do I need to delete the old ON Sport channel first?
No. Add the new transponder, search it, test the newly found service, then remove the old duplicate only after confirming the picture works.
Is ON Sport free to receive by satellite?
The current Nilesat channel table lists the ON Sport services as satellite channels on these transponders. Reception still depends on your location, dish coverage and compatible equipment.
Save the working transponder so the next frequency change takes less time
Once ON Sport is working, save the transponder and channel group instead of performing a full satellite scan every time a service moves. This protects your channel order and makes future retuning much faster.
If you also follow UAE sports channels, keep them in a separate group and use the current Dubai Sports Channel Frequency 2026 before finishing your sports favourites list.
If you want to compare satellite reception with an internet-based option for your device, contact Store SAT with your device type and the channels you need before choosing a package.
