SBS WorldWatch was an Australian free-to-air television channel owned and operated by the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS). The channel shows multilingual international news bulletins in more than 30 languages, as well as two local bulletins in Mandarin and Arabic.
History In early 2022, SBS officially launched their own Arabic and Mandarin local news bulletins on SBS On Demand and announced the launch of the WorldWatch channel. The channel would also offer non-English news bulletins in more than 30 languages from around the world; most of these were transferred from the World Watch programming block, which had aired on SBS and SBS2. The channel was launched on 23 May 2022 on channel 35, along with the SBS-produced Arabic and Mandarin bulletins. Both SBS and SBS2 continued to air English news bulletins from international news channels in morning and midday timeslots under the current World Watch block.
On 24 August 2026, SBS announced that the SBS WorldWatch channel would close on 18 September 2026, with the latest non-English news bulletins only being delivered through SBS On Demand.
