Canal+ Décalé was a French pay-television channel. Part of Canal+, "Décalé'" means 'staggered', and was an overflow network carrying mainly event programming which could not be contained to Canal+'s regular networks, along with replays of that programming.

History

Canal+ Bleu launched on 27 April 1996, on satellite and cable as a programme multicast of Canal+ films.

As part of the creation of the Canal+ Bouquet, the channel changed its name on 1 November 2003 to Canal+ Confort. It changed to its present name on 2005 to become Canal + Décalé.

The channel started broadcasting its programmes in high definition on 12 October 2010.

Canal+ Décalé is used for pop-up channels for many events, like Canal+ Rio 2016 (in the 2016 Olympic Games) and Canal+ Tennis (every year for the BNP Paribas Masters).

On 29 August 2022, Canal+ Décalé was closed down and replaced by Canal+ Sport 360 two days later.
