List of streaming channels on 5 (United Kingdom)

5 is a free video-on-demand streaming service operated by Paramount Networks UK & Australia, which also operates the television channel 5 in the United Kingdom. It provides catch-up programming from 5 and its sister channels, as well as additional content from Paramount Skydance's wider portfolio.

History

The service was originally launched as Demand 5 in 2008, offering catch-up content from 5. In August 2015, it was rebranded as My5, introducing a refreshed user interface and an expanded content library, which included programming from third-party providers such as A+E Networks, PBS America, and BET.

On 12 March 2025, My5 was rebranded as 5, as part of a wider effort to unify 5’s linear and streaming offerings under a single brand. The relaunch introduced a new platform design and expanded its content catalogue to include premium programming from across the Paramount family, such as reality television, drama, factual programming, films, true crime, and children's content from Nickelodeon. The rebranding aimed to create a more seamless experience for viewers across multiple platforms, including smart TVs, streaming devices, and mobile applications.

Availability

5 is available across a range of devices, including smart TVs, digital streaming players, mobile applications, and web browsers. The service remains free-to-view and ad-supported, offering both catch-up and on-demand programming.

Content

The platform features programming from the television channel 5 and its affiliated channels, including 5STAR, 5ACTION, 5SELECT, and Paramount Network UK. Following the 2025 rebrand, 5 also incorporated additional content from Paramount Skydance, including select programmes from MTV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, and CBS Reality.
