C More Tennis was a Scandinavian premium sports channel which replaced Canal+ Sport 2 on September 4, 2012, and became a sports channel with only tennis from ATP Tour, WTA Tour and Davis Cup. The channel also had the rights to the Grand Slam tournament Wimbledon.

The channel was available:

In Sweden through the C More packets: C More Max, C More Sports and C More Family.

In Norway, through the C More packets: C More Total and C More Sports.

However, it was not meaningful in the first place that the channel should be available in Denmark since Canal 8 Sport substituted C More Sports and Tennis would be shown there, but the channel is available through C More Film package from Canal Digital, YouSee and Altibox together with C More Extreme. But in early 2013, it was recognized that there was not always room till all tennis tournaments on Canal 8 Sport so that the channel was in March 2013 made available through YouSee where the channel could be optional as an additional channel to 30 Danish krone. Also C More Extreme was made an additional channel to 30 Danish krone.
