Playboy TV is a pay-per-view adult television channel on cable and satellite services, and available in Brazil, United States, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Spain and Ireland. The channel is owned by Playboy Enterprises.

The content on Playboy TV is more explicit than the soft core content of its magazine. Playboy TV shows sex acts right up to penetration, stopping short of any money shots. This is due to a desire to produce material that can be used in countries and US jurisdictions (notably Utah) that restrict what can be shown, although less censored material is shown on the Playboy website.

Playboy TV houses in fact not only Playboy, but also Spice Extreme, The Adult Channel and pay-per-night channels Climax 1, 2 and 3.

Some programs that do contain sex acts are also done in a way that is characteristic of Playboy, such as Sexy Urban Legends, a show where two young men give their humorous accounts of urban legends that are related to sexual situations. The sexual acts on this show are filmed in hardcore, but edited in such a way as to make them suitable for broadcast.

The UK version of the channel has a sister station, Playboy One, launched free-to-air, in November 2005.
