History
Canal+ Bleu launched on 27 April 1996, on satellite and cable as a programme multicast of Canal+ films.
As part of the creation of the Canal+ Bouquet, the channel changed its name on 1 November 2003 to Canal+ Confort. It changed to its present name on 2005 to become Canal + Décalé.
The channel started broadcasting its programmes in high definition (HD) since 12 October 2010.
Canal+ Décalé is used for pop-up channels for many events, like Canal+ Rio 2016 (in the 2016 Olympic Games) and Canal+ Tennis (every year for the BNP Paribas Masters).
Since 23 August 2019, Canal+ Décalé became Canal+ Sport Week-End every week-end. This was interrupted because of the COVID-19 crisis.
