RDS2 is a Canadian pay television channel, acting as the secondary feed of French-language television network Reseau des sports, owned by CTV Specialty Television Inc. The channel was launched on October 7, 2011 to coincide with the start of the 2011 MLB post-season; its launch night programming included coverage of the Division Series and a documentary on the Montreal Expos.

As with its English-language equivalent TSN2, it is a secondary outlet for programming that cannot be aired on the main network, and operates under the same Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) licence as RDS itself.
