XLeague.TV was a UK based satellite television channel which airs as a block on Pulse (Sky channel 208), featuring coverage of E-sports. In this respect, it differs from other examples of videogame programming in the country, such as Cybernet, which had a broader remit, to cover videogames in general. The channel is closely paired to its own self-titled website. The online resource encourages community discussion, while also serving as a platform to organise tournaments and invitational events, some of which may later be screened, on the channel, via it's flagship programme, The Match.

While the televised matches regularly feature members of recognised, successful gaming clans such as Team Dignitas, and individual victors of major gaming tournaments including match_matchlist.asp?sort=G070309105" target="_blank">Apollo - Shaun Clark Xleague.tv also encourages enthusiasts and non-professionals to get involved in the community (and thus, potentially, The Match) through the game-specific clubs and leagues set up in a way that ensures that players of like strength compete together.

The channel recently announced that it was partnering with fellow UK tournament organisers, Enemy Down to run a series of team games for titles including _Counter-Strike: Source in the Packard Bell European Open, which the hardware manufacturer will be blank">supporting with prizes.

As of mid-to-late December 2007, the channel chose to diversify its content by showing niche sports programmes after Midnight and in the early afternoon. This was not well-recieved by the XLeague community, who view it as a repeat of the _Babestation debacle, which lead to the demise of Game Network.

In February 2008, it was revealed that the channel had entered into an agreement with US men's entertainment channel MavTV, who had provided the niche sports content, and the channel would be re-branded as Pulse, which would be made up of separately branded XLEAGUE.TV and Mav blocks, with- according to Digital Spy- XLeague are in talks with other providers to provide further programming blocks.

On Monday 25th February 2008, the Xleague.tv channel was rebranded as expected to "Pulse". The channel still retains all the Xleague programmes and website, prior to the rebrand.
