Sport 5 (Hebrew: ספורט 5‎, Sport Hamesh), also known as the Sports Channel (Hebrew: ערוץ הספורט‎, Arutz HaSport) is an Israeli television station. Available for free on basic cable and satellite, the channel is devoted to sport. However, since the inception of its subsidiary channel Sport 5+ for which a subscription is charged, it has lost almost all of its notable content, [1], though it is still used to show UEFA Champions League matches in tandem with 5+.

In March 2007 the company launched two new channels, 5+ Live (for live sport) and 5+ Gold (repeats of classic sports action).
