Kanal 5 (Channel 5) is a Danish subscription television channel operated by Warner Bros. Discovery EMEA, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery. The station is broadcast to Denmark by satellite from London, showing mainly films, US drama shows and sports.

Kanal 5 aired the Danish version of So You Think You Can Dance.

Kanal 5 owns the Danish broadcast rights to show Spanish football from La Primera Division, and along with Canal Digital it shares the rights to show English Premier League football.

As of 2007 Kanal 5 has bought the rights to show the James Bond movies. At the end of the year it became the first Danish channel to broadcast a simulcast in high definition.[1]

Kanal 5 is distributed through cable and satellite. Kanal 5 lost a large part of the channel's viewers in 2020 after a dispute with YouSee, which led to the channel disappearing from YouSee's TV packages. Kanal 5 is therefore now only received by around 31.6% of Danes. [2]
