OutTV (stylized as OUTtv) is a Netherlands-based television channel which can be viewed via cable television/digital television as a premium channel in the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Germany, Israel and Spain. OutTV was launched on 2 April 2008 by OUTtv Media B.V. and has been available on cable since 11 April 2008.

OutTV was founded as a collaboration with the Canadian channel of the same name, whereby the brand and many of the programmes were licensed.[1] Nowadays, most of the programs of the Canadian channel are no longer shown on the Dutch channel.[citation needed]

An HD-simulcast started through Ziggo in the Netherlands on 30 November 2017.[2]
