Discovery Channel Sweden is the Swedish language version of the Discovery Channel, using a "factual entertainment" concept similar to the original American channel. As of 2006, it was the eight most watched channel in Sweden (MMS).

The channel broadcasts the same schedule as the other Discovery channels in the Nordic countries, but with Swedish language presentation, advertising and subtitles. In spring 2007, the Swedish channel will differentiate itself from the Nordic sister channels and start using Swedish voice-overs in the programmes and a schedule specially adapted for the Swedish market.

In autumn 2001, Discovery received a license to broadcast in the Swedish digital terrestrial television network. The channel has traditionally been a part of most analogue basic cable packages. The largest cable network, Com Hem, carries the channel in their analogue network between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m. as a part of their Discovery Mix channel.

Other channels from Discovery Communications available in Sweden are Animal Planet Nordic, Discovery Travel & Living, Discovery Civilisation, Discovery Science and Discovery HD Europe.
