The channel was supposed to launch on 7 April 2020.[4] However, the launch was delayed to 27 May 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] The launch of the channel was used to help bring High dynamic range (HDR) content to Sky Q.[5]

Sky Nature broadcasts original Sky content, content from Canadian channel Love Nature,[6] and Sky's collection of David Attenborough programming.[2][7]
