Kapamilya Box Office (KBO) was a Philippine pay-per-view television channel. It was initially launched in May 2015 as a pay-per-view channel for the historic boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Originally registered as the "TVplus Xtra Channel," it became inactive after the event. In April 2016, the channel was rebranded as KBO.
Kapamilya Box Office permanently ceased broadcasting on June 30, 2020, due to a cease-and-desist order (ACDO) issued by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and Solicitor General Jose Calida against ABS-CBN TV Plus following the expiration of its franchise. However, operations continued through Sky Cable via SKY PPV (Sky Pay-Per-View) and various platforms of The Filipino Channel.
