Euronews (stylised in lowercase) is a European television news network, headquartered in Lyon, France.[1] It is a provider of livestreamed news, which can be viewed in Europe and North Africa via satellite, and in most of the world via its website, on YouTube, and on various mobile devices and digital media players.

The network began broadcasting on 1 January 1993 and covers world news from a European perspective. In 2022 the network was bought by a company linked to the Hungarian government of Viktor Orbán. The acquisition was partly funded by the Hungarian state.[2][3]
