The network is a major player in Australian sports broadcasting. All sports broadcasts on 10 and its multi-channels are labelled under the ''10 Sport'' brand. Since the Paramount takeover, however, the channel has significantly toned down its commitment to sports programming.

In 2002, 10 combined with the Nine Network and Foxtel to acquire broadcast rights for the [[Australian Football League]], the elite [[Australian rules football|Australian rules]] competition, displacing the Seven Network which had held the rights for more than 40 years. 10 broadcast Saturday afternoon and Saturday night games and had exclusive rights for all finals games. Along with the Seven Network, 10 placed a successful $780 million bid to jointly broadcast the game from 2007 to 2011.<ref name="pricesource">{{Cite news| title = Seven and Ten win AFL rights| publisher = ABC Sport| date = 5 January 2006| url = http://www.abc.net.au/sport/content/200601/s1542491.htm| access-date = 7 February 2008}} {{Dead link|date=September 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> Under this deal, 10 continued to broadcast the Saturday component of the competition. However, unlike the previous deal, 10 did not hold the exclusive rights to the finals series. Instead, the networks shared the broadcasting of the finals series and alternated the broadcast of the grand final. In the years when 10 did not televise the Grand Final (2008 and 2010), it telecast the pre-season Grand Final and the [[Brownlow Medal]] presentation. 10 ended AFL broadcasting after 10 years at the conclusion of the 2011 season.

10 broadcast the [[2007 Rugby World Cup]].<ref>{{cite web| url = http://australianit.news.com.au/articles/0,7204,20883722%5E15321%5E%5Enbv%5E,00.html| title = Ten gives HD sporting chance| access-date = 16 December 2006| date = 7 December 2006| work = The Australian| publisher = australianit.news.com.au| archive-date = 14 December 2006| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20061214215257/http://australianit.news.com.au/articles/0,7204,20883722%5E15321%5E%5Enbv%5E,00.html| url-status = live}}</ref>

In 2003, 10 started broadcasting the [[Formula One]] World Championship after the Nine Network dropped the rights in 2002 after more than twenty years of coverage.

All Big Bash League games were broadcast in Australia by 10. In 2013, 10 paid $100 million for BBL rights over five years, marking the channel's first foray in elite domestic cricket coverage.<ref>[https://www.heraldsun.com.au/new-big-bash-league-broadcaster-channel-ten-thrilled-with-ratings-for-season-opening-derby/news-story/777d248458fb6da7cfa2d64c8127d803 New Big Bash League broadcaster Channel Ten thrilled with ratings for season opening derby] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220209044334/https://www.heraldsun.com.au/new-big-bash-league-broadcaster-channel-ten-thrilled-with-ratings-for-season-opening-derby/news-story/777d248458fb6da7cfa2d64c8127d803 |date=2022-02-09}} Herald Sun.

10, in joint partnership with subscription television provider [[Foxtel]], had broadcast rights for the [[2010 Commonwealth Games]].<ref>{{cite web |title=TEN and Foxtel win 2010 Commonwealth Games |publisher=TV Tonight |url=http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2008/01/ten-and-foxtel-win-2010-commonwealth.html |date=16 January 2008 |access-date=17 January 2008 |archive-date=17 January 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080117051426/http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2008/01/ten-and-foxtel-win-2010-commonwealth.html |url-status=live}}</ref>

10 acquired broadcast rights to the [[2014 Winter Olympics]] in [[Sochi]], Russia for AUD$20 million after all three major commercial networks pulled out of bidding on rights to both the 2014 and 2016 [[Olympic Games]] due to cost concerns. The Nine Network had lost AUD$22 million on its joint coverage of the 2012 Games with Foxtel, and the Seven Network's bid was rejected for being lower than what Nine/Foxtel had previously paid.<ref>{{cite news |date=7 April 2012 |title=Olympic fury over rules for TV sport |newspaper=The Australian |url=https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/media/olympic-fury-over-rules-for-tv-sport/news-story/027e6c6c8314110ceacc9e8c3f5d2d4b |url-access=subscription |access-date=8 February 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Seven withdraws from bidding for Olympics as price tag proves too great for TV networks|url=http://www.foxsports.com.au/other-sports/seven-withdraws-from-bidding-for-olympics-as-price-tag-proves-too-great-for-tv-networks/story-e6frf56c-1226614918163#.UgooyX_4Xmt|access-date=13 August 2013|newspaper=Fox Sports|date=8 April 2013|archive-date=8 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131008152220/http://www.foxsports.com.au/other-sports/seven-withdraws-from-bidding-for-olympics-as-price-tag-proves-too-great-for-tv-networks/story-e6frf56c-1226614918163#.UgooyX_4Xmt|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=MacKay|first=Duncan|title=Ten Network signs $20 million deal to broadcast Sochi 2014 in Australia, claim reports|url=http://www.insidethegames.biz/olympics/winter-olympics/2014/1014188-ten-network-sign-20-million-deal-to-broadcast-sochi-2014-in-australia-claim-reports|access-date=13 August 2013|newspaper=Inside the Games|date=12 May 2013|archive-date=4 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004222342/http://www.insidethegames.biz/olympics/winter-olympics/2014/1014188-ten-network-sign-20-million-deal-to-broadcast-sochi-2014-in-australia-claim-reports|url-status=live}}</ref>
