VRT Canvas is a Belgian television channel of the Flemish public broadcasting organisation Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroeporganisatie (VRT). Specialising in both original and adaptations from western Europe and North America, the channel offers: in-depth news and current affairs, non-mainstream entertainment, documentaries, arthouse films, other cultural programming, and most recently additional children's programming.

History

The channel was founded on 1 December 1997 as the successor to the second channel BRTN TV2 and timeshared with the children's channel Ketnet between 7 am and 8 pm until 30 April 2012. Ketnet moved to its own channel, initially timesharing with OP12, which allowed Canvas to became a standalone channel. During the weekend there are regular sports broadcasts aired under the brand name Sporza

The current network director of VRT 2, the umbrella name for the two channels, is Bart De Poot.

Prior to the launch of VRT's third channel OP12, VRT Canvas broadcast from 8pm until around midnight to 1 am each evening. Since 27 October 2018, Ketnet Junior airs on Canvas every afternoon between 2 and 7 pm (Sunday until 6 pm), along with morning broadcasts on Ketnet.

After the rebranding of VRT 1, Canvas rebranded as VRT Canvas on 4 September 2023.
