'''Star Sports''' (Formerly '''ESPN Star Sports''') is a group of [[India]]n multinational  [[pay television]] [[list of sports television channels|sports channels]] owned by [[Disney Star]] (formerly ''Star India''), a subsidiary of [[The Walt Disney Company India]]. Previously a part of [[Fox Sports Asia|ESPN Star Sports]] with its operations based in [[Singapore]], '''Star India''' took over the Indian business and relaunched channels under the unified Star Sports brand in 2013'''.'''
'''Star Sports''' is a group of [[South Asian]] [[pay television]] [[List of sports television channels|sports channels]] owned by [[Disney Star]], a subsidiary of [[The Walt Disney Company India]].
 
The networks were initially formed in 1991 as a joint venture between [[Disney Networks Group Asia Pacific|Star TV]] and [[Tele-Communications Inc.]] (TCI) known as '''Prime Sports''', taking their name from TCI's [[Prime Sports|U.S. regional sports networks of the same name]]. In 1996, Star agreed to merge its sports networks in Asia with those of its rival [[ESPN International|ESPN]], forming [[ESPN Star Sports]]. In June 2012, [[News Corporation]] acquired ESPN's stake in the joint venture; its corporate successor [[21st Century Fox]] was, in turn, acquired by ESPN's majority-owner [[The Walt Disney Company]] in 2019.
 
Star Sports is a major broadcaster of [[cricket in India]], holding the pay television rights to domestic national team matches, the [[Indian Premier League]], and [[International Cricket Council]] (ICC) tournaments. Streaming rights to many Star Sports properties are held in India by sister streaming service [[Disney+ Hotstar]].
