Nowadays, sport is a very important part of media reality. Thanks to the media, sports events can be watched by millions of viewers. The purpose of this article is to illustrate how sports events are perceived as media events as well as to discuss the process of the mediatization of sport and to analyze examples of the most popular sports transmissions on Polish television. In the research, we analyze the ratings of the most popular sports broadcasts in the modern history of Polish television as well as the ratings of selected sports broadcasts after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The outcomes show that sports events are very popular among Polish viewers. Additionally, the paper examines solutions used by the media to broadcast sports events during the COVID-19 pandemic. These solutions were supposed to make the sports events more diversified and more like the events held before the outbreak of the epidemic.
