Team Yey! (stylized as Team YeY!) is a Philippine children's television show created by YeY Channel, a defunct digital free-to-air channel of ABS-CBN TVplus. The show premiered on June 19, 2016,[1] and was aired every Mondays to Sundays from 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM, with replays from 3:30 PM to 4:00 PM (originally on Yey!; now changed to Saturday mornings at 6:15 AM to 6:45 AM on Kapamilya Channel and 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM on A2Z). For over eight seasons, Team Yey! was the first local children's program produced and aired on a digital-television-exclusive channel. On June 30, 2020, the show stopped airing after Yey! channel ceased its free-to-air broadcast operations as ordered by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) due to the expiration of ABS-CBN's legislative franchise.
