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 on 13 October 2010.[1] The additional "Universal" notation was dropped in March 2017 as part of a reimage effort.[2] Local versions of the network began to shut down in the mid-2010s in deference to streaming services, including NBCUniversal's own Hayu and Peacock.
