SBS2 is an Australian free-to-air television channel owned and operated by the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS).

The channel first launched as SBS TWO on 1 June 2009, and was later branded as SBS 2 between 2013 and 2016. The channel was re-branded SBS VICELAND in 2016 through a partnership with Vice Media, which ended in 2026.

On 8 April 2017, the channel began simulcasting in high definition. On 17 June 2019, the standard definition broadcast was closed and replaced by SBS World Movies, leaving the channel to broadcast in HD only. The channel also supports audio description. When a film with audio description is played, a short sound plays and the audio description logo appears at the top.
