Sky reshuffle on 27th May: your guide to the changes

As Sky relaunches its factual channels at the end of May 2020, Sky subscribers will need to get used to some new channel numbers.

Sky Documentaries and Sky Nature launch on the 27th May. At the same time, History and History 2 become Sky History and Sky History 2.

And as Sky is giving these channels prominent positons on Sky's channel list, SyFy, E!, Pick and Challenge are moving to new homes.

New Sky channel numbers from 27th May 2020

HD customers will see the HD version of the channels on the above number, with SD versions on 814 (Sky Documentaries), 893 (Nature), 825 (Sky History). But Sky Documentaries and Sky Nature will not offer a +1 channel.

At this stage, the full set of Sky factual channels are due to only appear on Sky and Now TV -  via the Entertainment Pass (also available through BT TV).
