From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of television channels that broadcast in Sweden.

Channels holding a broadcasting license for the terrestrial network are marked "(DTT)."

Public non-commercial networks

The public television channels are mostly funded by a license fee and broadcast free-to-air.
