On 2 April 2024, Viaplay Group announced a partnership with Talpa under which SBS9 was renamed Viaplay TV effective 5 April. The channel was used to cross-promote the Viaplay streaming service by featuring broadcasts of selected sports properties from the service, such as Formula One, PDC darts, and Premier League football.{{Cite web |date=2024-04-02 |title=Talpa Network’s SBS9 channel to rebrand as Viaplay TV |url=https://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2024/04/02/talpa-networks-sbs9-channel-to-rebrand-as-viaplay-tv/ |access-date=2024-04-03 |website=Broadband TV News |language=en-GB}}
