13th Street (France: 13ème Rue, Spain: Calle 13 and Poland: 13 Ulica) is a television channel specializing in action, suspense and police procedural programs and movies, mainly from the Universal Pictures and Television libraries. It is owned by NBCUniversal and was inaugurated in France in 1997, quickly adding local versions across Europe and Australia.

The channel changed its name to 13th Street Universal in the early 2010s like ’’Syfy Universal’’.[1] The additional "Universal" notation was dropped after and the channel had a rebranding in March 2017.[2]
