Astro Arena (stylized as Astro ARENA until 2024) is a Malaysian television station owned and operated by Astro. It is the first 24/7 Malay language sports channel in Malaysia. This channel can be viewed on channel 801 through Astro's Family Pack. Launched on 26 March 2010, it was the idea from the former Malaysian Minister of Youth and Sports YB. Dato' Sri Ahmad Shabery Cheek, together with the Olympic Council of Malaysia and Astro, to have a sports channel dedicated solely to the development of Malaysian sports.

Astro Arena is a 4-in-one channel featuring live local sports, a comprehensive 7-day-a-week coverage of local and international sports news, informative magazine and information programming and interactive viewer involvement.

The channel delivers 700 hours of live, local sports a year, with an additional 2000 hours of replays greatly expanding the amount of local sports available in the country. It also provides coverage of up to 56 hours a week of Malaysians competing at international levels or the best in world sports of a particular interest to the Malaysian audience.

Astro Arena is currently available for free-to-view on channel 801 in High Definition (HD) format (Astro customers & NJOI Prepaid).

From 23 January 2023, all e-sports content and eGG Network’s in-house shows will be made available through the company’s Bahasa Malaysia-based sports channels, Astro Arena (channel 801) and Astro Arena 2 (channel 802).[1]

On 24 February 2023, Astro Arena will rebroadcast the Malaysian League match since their last broadcast on 2014. It broadcasts the rematch that will officially start involving the Sumbangsih Cup action between Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) against Terengganu FC (TFC) via channels 803 and 804.

On 17 October 2024, Astro Arena officially changed its logo following the rebranding of the Astro Sports channel and overhaul of the Astro Sports channel.
