Nickelodeon Sweden is a children's channel broadcasting to Sweden.

Nickelodeon has been available in Sweden since 1996 when a pan-Scandinavian version was launched on the analogue Viasat platform. Since 2001, it has been broadcasting in the digital terrestrial television network.

The Pan-Scandinavian channel been broadcasting between 6 AM and 6 PM since it started sharing a transponder with TV6 Nature/Action World in the late 1990s. In March 2008, Nickelodeon received a license to broadcast between 5 AM and 7 PM on the terrestrial network.

On June 18, 2008, the dedicated Swedish version of Nickelodeon was launched with a separate schedule.^[2] The new channel broadcasts between 5 AM and 7 PM on most digital pay television platforms.^[3] Unlike the Pan-Scandinavian channel, which was broadcast from the UK, the Swedish version is broadcast from the Netherlands.^[4]

The schedule starts with a Nick Jr strand for younger kids with series such as Dora the Explorer, Backyardigans and Postman Pat. The channel also includes music video strands called "Nick Hits". Most cartoons for younger children are dubbed into Swedish. Non-cartoon series aimed an older audience are broadcast in English with subtitles.

The Nicktoon The Fairly OddParents is broadcast on Disney Channel and Nickelodeon (as of Spring 2009).

Nickelodeon has been the third most popular children's television channel in Sweden since 2006. SVTB is by far the most popular, with the Disney Channel as a strong second.

A sister channel, called Nickelodeon HD launched on March 1, 2011.
