List of Finnish television channels

This is a list of television channels that broadcast for a Finnish language audience. Typically, non-Finnish content is subtitled, but maintains the original language soundtrack. Non-Finnish programming intended for children, is however, usually dubbed in to Finnish. Regardless of intended audience, many shows receive a Finnish title, which is used in time tables.

Terrestial channels are available as free-to-air and free cable broadcasts. Also are digital channels, but they need a digibox. Cable network in Finland is constructed to the biggest cities.
