On 10 March 2016, 1+1 International re-launched in Canada, as a foreign service, via [[Bell Fibe TV]].{{fact|date=August 2024}}

Sometime in April 2022, 1+1 International was re-added to DirecTV on channel 321, the channel space was previously used for [[RT America]].{{fact|date=August 2024}}

On 7 July 2022, 1+1 International was removed from DirecTV after experiencing "temporary technical difficulties" since 4 July. The channel space currently shows a slide reading "This channel is no longer available. We regret any inconvenience." It was later revealed that the channel was dropped as it had stopped its 24/7 coverage of the [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine]] and began adding entertainment programming.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Domestic Transponder Map ~ Data 9/28/2022 |url=http://www.iamanedgecutter.com/vb5/forum/directv-technical-resources-forum/121-domestic-transponder-map-~-data-2-22-2023?p=2814#post2814 |access-date=2022-10-02 |website=Edgecutter Cutting Edge Forums |language=en}}</ref>
