Team Yey! (stylized as Team YeY!) is a Philippine children's television show created by YeY Channel, a defunct digital free-to-air channel of ABS-CBN TVplus. The show premiered on June 19, 2016,[1] and was aired every Mondays to Sundays from 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM, with replays from 3:30 PM to 4:00 PM (originally on Yey!; now changed to Saturday mornings at 6:15 AM to 6:45 AM on Kapamilya Channel and 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM on A2Z). For over eight seasons, Team Yey! was the first local children's program produced and aired on a digital-television-exclusive channel. On June 30, 2020, the show stopped airing after Yey! channel ceased its free-to-air broadcast operations as ordered by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) due to the expiration of ABS-CBN's legislative franchise.

The show has since moved to Kapamilya Channel.[2] The show reruns from past seasons aired on free TV via A2Z every Saturdays.

On June 24, 2023, the show was resumed and reformatted as a 5-minute children's show with a new title Team Yey Shorts (formerly Team Yey Vlogs). It is hosted by the remaining original cast member Justin James "JJ" Quilantang and its new members Althea Ruedas, Gabrielle Nagayama, Imogen Rae Cantong and among others.
