Sky Sci-Fi (formerly Sci Fi Channel and Syfy) is a British pay television channel owned and operated by Sky, a division of Comcast.
Launched as The Sci-Fi Channel, it was relaunched as Syfy on 13 April 2010, as part of an ongoing global rebranding. The relaunch was accompanied by the premieres of V and Human Target. The channel was given a new on-air look and a tagline of "Imagine greater".
Sky applied for a Sky Sci-Fi trademark on 4 May 2022. On 14 June 2022 Sky confirmed that the channel rebrand would take place at 11am on 26 July, accompanied by a refreshed schedule of new and existing content.
