The Seven Network (commonly known as Channel Seven or simply Seven) is a major Australian commercial free-to-air television network. It is owned by Seven West Media Limited,[2] and is one of the five main free-to-air television networks in Australia. The network's headquarters are located in Sydney.

As of 2014, it is the second-largest network in the country in terms of population reach. The Seven Network shows various nonfiction shows—such as news broadcasts (Seven News) and sports programming—as well as fiction shows.[3] In 2011, the network won all 40 out of 40 weeks of the ratings season for total viewers,[4] being the first to achieve this since the introduction of the OzTAM ratings system in 2001.[5]

As of 2023, the Seven Network is the highest-rated television network nationally, in Australia, ahead of the Nine Network, ABC TV, Network 10 and SBS.[6]
