60 Minutes Sports is a news magazine that aired on Showtime from January 2013 to March 2017. It was a spin-off of 60 Minutes , a program aired by Showtime's parent network CBS, with a focus on sport-related topics, interviews with notable figures, and sports-related stories from the archives of 60 Minutes.[1] The series also featured contributions from CBS Sports personalities.[2]

CBS News chairman Jeff Fager stated that the program would "offer the same high-quality, original reporting and great storytelling our viewers have come to expect every Sunday night on CBS";[1] the premiere episode featured a story on Lance Armstrong's doping scandal, an interview with Lionel Messi, and an update to a past story on Alex Honnold.[3] The Los Angeles Times noted that the series was likely intended as a competitor to Real Sports , a similar sports newsmagazine broadcast by HBO.[1]

In January 2017, a CBS News spokesperson confirmed to TVNewser that 60 Minutes Sports had been cancelled.[4] Its final episode aired on March 7, 2017.[5]

On May 26, 2020 as schedule filler due to the COVID-19 pandemic, CBS announced that it would air a six-episode compilation of 60 Minutes Sports segments on weekend afternoons from May 30 to June 14, under the title 60 Minutes Sports: Timeless Stories.[6]
