PTC Punjabi is a popular Punjabi television network from India and is owned by PTC Network. It features general interest programming including news, dramas, comedies, music and talk shows. PTC Punjabi commenced operations in August 2008 and, in a year, had become the most popular television network in Punjab.

In 2009, PTC Punjabi expanded its reach internationally. It launched in the USA on DirecTV on 23 August 2009. In September 2009, a Canadian version launched via a partnership with Channel Punjabi Television. In early 2010, PTC Punjabi was removed from DirecTV for unknown reasons. On 25 August 2010, PTC Punjabi launched on Dish Network, making the channel available in the USA once again.

In July 2010 PTC Punjabi was launched in Australia and New Zealand on Konnect TV Network and in 2011 on VisionAsia (Australia and New Zealand). The version in Australia is taking live feeds from India and does not include Punjabi News, Straight Talk, The Masters, Lokbani, Guftagu, Prime Time, Majha Malwa News, or Chal Meray Naal. The Australian broadcast of PTC Punjabi is only deemed good for live telecast of Gurbani from Sri Harmandir Sahib,^{[citation needed]} but otherwise the channel lacks content as compared to the offerings of PTC Punjabi in North America (Canada, USA) and India.

PTC hosts the annual PTC Punjabi music awards and hosted, for the first time, PTC Punjabi film awards in 2011.

From 1 November to 20 November PTC Punjabi and its sister networks PTC News and PTC CHAK DE gave live broadcasts of the 2011 Kabaddi World Cup. It gave live broadcasts of the opening and closing ceremonies.
