Quiz and gameshow channel Challenge is moving places on Sky’s channel list for the second time in under two months.
Sky has announced that Challenge will move to a new channel number on Tuesday 8th November, when it will swap places with Sky Replay.
The change, which will see Challenge move to channel 145 will only affect viewers with Sky satellite. Challenge and Sky Replay’s channel numbers on Sky Glass/Sky Stream remain the same.
Sky channel number change – 8th November 2022
- 145 Challenge (moves from 152)
- 152 Sky Replay (moves from 145)
Challenge has only been on its current channel number since 27th September, when it was promoted from channel 160. Back then, it took the number from Sky Sci-Fi, which was promoted to channel 139.
Sky subscribers with a long memory may recall Challenge was once already on channel 145 until it was moved off the slot a few years ago.
Meanwhile, Sky Replay, a channel which offers viewers an opportunity to watch selected Sky programmes at an alternative time, is relegated to channel 152.

Meanwhile, two Christmas-themed music channels will go live on Sky satellite next week. MTV Xmas launches on Monday 7th November on channel 352 (replacing MTV 90s). Now Xmas takes over channel 363 on Wednesday 9th November 2022 (replacing Now 90s). Both channels will also appear on Virgin Media UK.
