TV4 Fakta is a Swedish documentary television channel owned by the TV4 Group. It started broadcasting in 2005.
Much of the programming is taken from A+E Networks. Since December 2005, the remainder of the schedule has been filled with the English language version of Euronews. The TV4 Group bought a stake in Euronews in June 2006.
TV4 Fakta was the first channel owned by the TV4 Group that was not broadcast from Sweden. It is broadcast from Finland, where the advertising laws are more liberal. In November 2006, a Finnish version of the channel, called MTV3 Fakta, was launched in cooperation with MTV3. The channels have been broadcasting from Sweden since 2009. A version for Norway was launched in 2010.
