A new broadcast of HRT 2, '''HRT 2 No Latency''' was launched on 20 November 2022, available only on the HRTi streaming service, following the opening of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The channel was closed down at the end of the World Cup. HRT 2 Low Latency aired the same programs as HRT 2, without the ability to pause and rewind.
==Local programming== {{see also|HRT 1#Original programming}} When it comes to local programming, HRT 2 mostly airs re-runs of television programs previously broadcast by HRT 1. The channel does, however, offer a number of small-scale production television series, such as those oriented at entertainment and lifestyle.

==Acquired programming== Unlike HRT 1 which puts a greater focus on local programming, HRT 2 offers a larger chunk of television series acquired from foreign television networks. These are largery British television series, often acquired from BBC.
