Eurosport HD, the pan-European high definition service, has been available in the UK and Ireland since July 2008. The international feed available through that channel has enabled sports fans to follow high profile events like the Tour de France, the French Open from Roland Garros and this summer’s Olympic Games in native HD.
This channel will now cease to be transmitted and will be replaced by full HD versions of British Eurosport and British Eurosport 2, allowing more British focused programming to be transmitted in HD. This will include coverage of popular events like British and World Superbikes, MotoGP, the Davis Cup and US Open tennis and the Champions League Twenty20 which will all now be available in native HD.

-Pan European Eurosport will close on Virgin Channel 522 on July 24th.
