Sky One Returns: When And Where To Find The Relaunched TV Channel?

Sky One, the beloved British channel that first launched in the 1980s, is making a comeback on February 24, 2026. After being axed in 2021 as part of a company restructuring, Sky One is returning to channel 106, replacing Sky Showcase and Sky Max. This revival will bring a mix of nostalgic favorites and new original programming to viewers.

During its 39-year run, Sky One was known for airing popular British shows like The Russell Howard Hour and An Idiot Abroad, as well as iconic American series such as The X-Files, The Simpsons, The Middle, and Star Trek. With its relaunch, the channel will offer a lineup of exciting new shows like Rob & Romesh Vs…, The Paper and Ted, The Dyers’ Caravan Park, and Gemma Collins: Four Weddings and a Baby.

One of the most anticipated premieres on Sky One will be Saturday Night Live UK, a spinoff of the iconic US comedy show Saturday Night Live. Renowned for its topical sketches and celebrity hosts, Saturday Night Live has been a staple of late-night television in the US. Viewers will now have the chance to see a UK version of the show and witness if it captures the same magic.

As Sky One returns to channel 106, there will be some changes to the channel numbering across different platforms. For Sky Q users, the new channel lineup will include Sky Comedy on channel 113, Sky Documentaries on channel 114, Sky Crime on channel 121, Sky Arts on channel 122, Challenge on channel 130, and Sky Sci-Fi on channel 145.
