In even-numbered years between 2002 and 2020, an event called '''Sport Relief''' runs instead. The actual telethon is similar to Comic Relief, but the events surrounding it are more sport-oriented and include celebrities (notably David Walliams and Helen Skelton) taking on endurance challenges, and fun runs all over the country under the "Sport Relief Mile" banner.

The telethon, known as Red Nose Day, airs every two years (ever since the second telethon in 1989, March of every odd-numbered year, usually on the third Friday; the first one was [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness in 1988 and aired on the first Friday in February]]) and is generally similar to Series/ChildrenInNeed in format, with comedy skits and spoofs, appearances by celebrities (often poking fun at themselves), and performances by special musical acts (that often get interfered with by the comedians). All the while, there are short reports showing people in desperate need that Comic Relief has helped. Like with Series/ChildrenInNeed, the BBC News separates the family friendly and the racier parts of the night.
