Challenge is a British digital TV channel owned by Flextech. Originally starting out as 'The Family Channel', and later 'Challenge TV', it has historically shown various game shows taken from a variety of sources, including some they made themselves, and the majority of its programmes are still in this genre. Challenge also has interactive features for certain shows of some digital platforms. This enables viewers to "play-along" at home. It is the closest British equivalent of the American Game Show Network (latterly GSN).

In recent times Challenge, like GSN in the United States, has begun to move away from showing repeats of game shows and has introduced reality and casino-based programmes. This has attracted some criticism to the channel but in return has attracted a whole new audience.

The channel receives many of its gameshows (excluding the Player programmes) from ITV although it also has some from Channel 5 (like Fort Boyard) and Central (Bullseye) although this channel is now under ITV control, it was a separate channel at the time.
