PBA Rush is a 24/7 exclusive channel of Cignal, which has been currently airing games of the Philippine Basketball Association. The channel is patterned after NBA TV and was launched on July 5, 2016, coinciding with the Philippines' hosting of the 2016 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament. The 3-year partnership agreement between Cignal and the PBA was signed on July 17, 2016 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, 2 days after the opening of the 2016 PBA Governors' Cup.[1][2]

Aside from the live telecast of the PBA games (in English commentary), other programming included in PBA Rush are same day replays of PBA games, games from the PBA D-League, PBA Womens 3x3 and Batang PBA,[2] Sports 360 and behind-the-scenes shows such as Kuwentong Gilas.[1] Replays of classic PBA games (which is currently being aired on Pinoy Xtreme since 2010) will be added in the program line-up in the near future, but the channel will only focus on the current season and conference, which is the 2016–17 PBA Philippine Cup.[1]

The channel is currently aired on Channel 52 in standard definition and Channel 129 in high definition.[3]
