SIC Internacional is SIC's international channel, which officially launched in September 1997 in France and has since expanded throughout the world. SIC Internacional is aimed at Portuguese viewers who live abroad and features programming from SIC and its various other channels. Programming includes news, entertainment, talkshows, series, sports and much more. It also features exclusive coverage of Portuguese Liga football matches every weekend.

SIC Internacional is for the Portuguese migrant communities and available via cable and satellite in Africa (Angola, Mozambique & South Africa), Europe (France, Switzerland & Luxembourg), The Americas (Brazil, United States & Canada) and Oceania (Australia and New Zealand) via Luso Vision.,. It operates 24/7.

The channel started broadcasting to southern Africa in August 2000.

In North America, SIC Internacional is not available directly but rather via local Portuguese television channels.

In Canada it is relayed via FPTV and in the United States via SPT TV. These relays run alongside local productions aimed at the communities in the respective countries.
