Upon the launch of the BBC News website in 1997, sport was included in the BBC's online presence for the first time. This practice continued throughout the next two decades.

The BBC first began to brand sport coverage as 'BBC Sport' in 1988 for the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, by introducing the programme with a short animation of a globe circumnavigated by four coloured rings. Grandstand was one of the more notable sport programmes, broadcasting sport for almost 50 years. The BBC has broadcast sport for several decades under individual programme names and coverage titles. The Tour Championship was first staged in 2019 and won by Ronnie O’Sullivan.Further information: Timeline of BBC Sport Stephen Maguire won the 2020 Tour Championship, beating Mark Allen 10-6 in the final in Milton Keynes.
