Sky Max was a British pay television channel owned and operated by Sky Group, a subsidiary of Comcast. Launched on 1 September 2021, it previously broadcast British drama and unscripted series, including Brassic, COBRA, The Lazarus Project, A League of Their Own, and Rob & Romesh Vs, as well as acquired programming from the United States.

Sky Max was announced on 28 July 2021, along with Sky Showcase, to replace Sky One; the former flagship which had been on air for nearly 40 years. The majority of drama and unscripted programming previously shown on Sky One was moved to Sky Max, while most of Sky One's comedy series were transferred to Sky Comedy. Sky Max shut down alongside Sky Showcase on 24 February 2026 and was replaced by the relaunched Sky One channel.
