Sharjah 24: Sharjah Sports TV, a division of the Sharjah Broadcasting Authority, has presented its most extensive programming lineup yet, with 25 shows spread across six major coverage packages.

The new season combines old audience favourites with fresh content, furthering the authority's goal to promote sports development in the UAE. Coverage includes local football, instructional parts, Sharjah clubs and sports, special Ramadan and summer packages, and major event broadcasts throughout the year.

New concepts

The season introduces new formats designed to appeal to a diverse audience, including a dedicated instructional programme that teaches football regulations and refereeing decisions, along with discussions by foreign experts on recent rule revisions. Long-running favourites return, including "Our Playgrounds" in its 12th season, which provides an analysis of UAE football with input from notable analysts and "From the UAE," which showcases multiple sports with behind-the-scenes access. The channel also refocuses on European football with "Football Around the World", which highlights the top five leagues and features exclusive insights and perspectives from young Arab commentators. Women's sport remains a priority, with "Women's Sport" continuing to cover local competitions.

Comprehensive coverage

Programming is meant to keep up with the sporting calendar, beginning with ADNOC Pro League coverage via "Summer Transfers" and progressing to regular analysis, match-day reporting, and community participation via social media. Other highlights include "The Sports Line", a venue for fan feedback and sports policy discussion; "Professionalism", which features off-pitch interviews with foreign and resident players; and "The Sports Observatory", which covers Sharjah's sports scene. Weekly roundups, such as "Weekly Round-up", offer a comprehensive overview of local, Arab, and international sports news.

Cultural, youth, and societal impact

The lineup also includes cultural and developmental aspects of sport, with "The Sports City" and "Future Fields" showcasing youth tournaments. Programmes such as "Communication Platform" and "Pulse of the Stadiums" record fans' reactions to stadiums and internet platforms. Educational portions, such as "Play It Right", explain the technical and organisational aspects of numerous sports, whereas "Flash" revisits significant worldwide athletic events. The schedule is rounded out by "Special Interview" with prominent sports figures and live broadcasts of major UAE competitions, including the ADNOC Pro League, President's Cup, and Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank Cup, as well as equestrian, handball, basketball, and volleyball events, cementing the channel's status as a premier destination for sports fans in the region.
