The channel launched on November 10, 2012 as ZON-only exclusive, unlike TV Globo Portugal. The channel decided to concentrate its line-up primarily on entertainment.[2]

With the launch of Globo Portugal on MEO on April 17, 2018, the channel not only became available on all four subscription television providers, but also relaunched its two channels with a new look, and renaming Globo Premium as Globo Now.[3]
