This page details the current channels available on Sky in the UK & Ireland. Some channels are not available in both countries and coverage within the UK also varies for some channels, as shown in the channel lists below.

Abbreviations
Adverts
Unless indicated in the tables, channels with adverts carry the same adverts in the UK and Ireland. Where adverts differ between the UK and Ireland, the UK and Irish flags are both shown in the adverts column (this column is omitted in genres where all channels in the genre carry the same adverts across the UK and Ireland).
In the entertainment and documentaries number range, there are several channels marked 340s . The HD versions of these channels carry identical adverts across the UK and Ireland but the SD versions differ and carry adverts specific to the UK and Ireland. In Ireland, these channels have opted to put their SD version in the more prominent 100-199 series. As the SD version is, exceptionally, more prominent, the HD version is placed in a dedicated secondary channel list for Ireland rather than in the 800 series. In the kids genre, both Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. have opted to put the SD version in the primary number range in Ireland for the same reason.
Commercial programme guide
The information on this page relates to the programme guide for residential customers. Sky also maintain a guide for its commercial customers (licensed premises and other commercial outlets). The numbering is similar to those for residential customers but there are some differences. For example, some Sky Sports channels in the 400-410 series are not on the same numbers as residential channels; some channels (for example, in the adult section) do not appear on commercial programme guides; and the HD swap system does not apply on commercial programme guides so the SD version is given greater prominence.
On commercial boxes, a version with a pint glass on-screen replaces the residential version of all Sky Sports, BT Sports, Premier Sports and eir channels. Programming is identical to the residential version, but adverts are targeted to pub-goers.
