ERT2 Sport (Greek: ERT 2 Σπορ, "ERT Dyo Spor") is a Greek free-to-air sports television channel owned and operated by Greece's public broadcaster Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (Greek: EPT – Ελληνική Ραδιοφωνία Τηλεόραση). It is the corporation's second television channel.

It was originally referred to as "ERT2" and "ET2" (short for Ellinikí Tileórasi 2; Ελληνική Τηλεόραση 2 (Greek for 'Hellenic Television 2')) but the name was later changed to "NET" (short for Néa Ellinikí Tileórasi; Νέα Ελληνική Τηλεόραση (Greek for 'New Hellenic Television')), before changing back to "ERT2" by technically replacing NERIT Plus. Amid protests of the government's decision to close the public broadcaster, ERT staff continued to operate NET via satellite and internet. until November 7, 2013, when riot police stormed into ERT headquarters and took the internet programming of NET off the air.
