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 intended for the historic boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. It was formerly registered as the "TVplus Xtra Channel" but became inactive after the coverage. By April 2016, the channel was rebranded as KBO.

Kapamilya Box Office permanently ceased broadcasting on June 30, 2020, due to the alias cease-and-desist order (ACDO) issued by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and Solicitor General Jose Calida against ABS-CBN TV Plus because of the expired franchise. However, the operations continued through Sky Cable via SKY PPV (Sky Pay-Per-View) and The Filipino Channel various platforms.
