TNB regards sports in not just its social role but more importantly as a catalyst to develop future champions. TNB's involvement in sports through the years is in line with the Government's aspiration to produce top athletes and for Malaysia to be a top-notch sporting nation.

TNB is the main supporter for hockey, which is one of the few sports which the Malaysian team is highly ranked in the world. For FY2007, TNB contributed RM1.1 million to the Malaysian Olympic Council which was channeled to the Malaysian Hockey Federations (MHF), the body tasked to develop hockey in the country.

TNB is the main sponsor for the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup hockey tournament, which feature top hockey teams from around the world. TNB is also the title sponsor for the TNB-MHL Hockey League, which is organised by the MHF. The TNB team which competed in the Division 1 of the League emerged as Overall Champion and won the inaugural TNB Cup in 2007. Six TNB players have also been selected to play for the national team.

To strengthen its involvement in hockey, TNB is working with several state hockey bodies to develop the sports further. It has set up a Special Sports Unit, to conduct specialised hockey skills to rising hockey stars. The project is expected to teach at least 2,000 talents and is aimed at exposing specific hockey skills that are important for the development of the game.

Besides hockey, TNB was also be the major sponsor for the 2008 Malaysian Game (SUKMA) which held in Terengganu. TNB is also the main sponsor for cricket in the country.
