On top of the 13 channels, Astro Arena (Ch801), available to all Astro and existing NJOI customers*, will be bringing Malaysians the best coverage of our national athletes as they compete for glory in the Tokyo 2020 with the latest updates, interviews, highlights, preview and many more.

On top of daily news bulletins on Astro Arena, additional shows will feature ex-Malaysian Olympians sharing their thoughts on the Olympic Games.
CK Lee, Head of Sports at Astro said: In this major sporting year, we are offering the best sports viewing experience for our Sports Pack customers. Last month, we announced that they will be rewarded with an unparalleled UEFA EURO 2020 viewing experience with all 51 matches in 4K UHD on the Ultra Box. Now they can look forward to complimentary access to the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 via the 13 HD channels to cheer on our national athletes as they compete with the world's best to achieve their sporting dreams. What's more, those with the Ultra Box can watch selected Olympic Games events in 4K UHD.
We are proud of the 12 athletes who have qualified: Azizulhasni Awang and Shah Firdaus Sahrom for cycling; divers Pandelela Rinong, Leong Mun Yee, Ng Yan Yee, and Nur Dhabitah Sabri; gymnasts Farah Ann Abdul Hadi; Khairul Anuar Mohamad for archery; Khairulnizam Afendy, Nur Shazrin Latif, Nuraisyah Jamil and Juni Noor Jamali for sailing. We hope to see more Malaysian athletes qualifying for Olympic Games, he added.
