From [[January 2014]], content not seen on Prizma was also aired, and at the end of [[February]], it was announced that the channel would be renamed in the spring. It became clear in [[March]] that it would continue to operate under the name '''RTL+''' from [[1 May]].

In the first year, after M4 Sport, which broadcasts the meetings of Ferencváros in the EL team group of 32 teams, RTL+ has the right to choose for the second time. (Between [[2015]] and [[2018]], the company acquired the more expensive number one package for [[RTL II (Hungary)|RTL II]], but the Hungarian club did not reach the 48-team field during this period.) It is an innovation in Hungary that some matches only on the paid streaming platform - RTL Most+ - are displayed. |
