TVP Polonia, formerly known as TV Polonia, is an international channel of the Polish public service broadcaster Telewizja Polska (TVP) aimed at the Polish diaspora. The channel is co-funded by TVP and the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and broadcasts from the TVP headquarters in Warsaw.
It's one of two international channels of TVP alongside TVP World and broadcasts many of the shows also aired by the broadcaster's domestic channels, in addition to news from Polish communities around the world.
It was launched in October 1992 (trial) and regularly in March 1993. On 1 September 2020 HD version was launched (replacing SD version on Hot Bird 13).
From 1 December 2025 this channel is a part of TVP structure "Ośrodek Mediów dla Zagranicy". In 2026, due to financial constraints, it is planned to close programs about life of Polish diaspora in favor of the program "Polonia 24. Tygodnik" with extended timing.
