Sunrise is the breakfast time programme on Sky News between 6:00am and 9:00am on weekdays and 6:00am to 10:00am on weekends. It was first aired in February 1989. Since February 2007, the weekday episodes of the show have been called Sunrise with Eamonn Holmes, as Holmes now presents the show largely on his own aided with news updates with Charlotte Hawkins. The weekend editions continue to be called Sunrise.

At its start in February 1989 the channel ran from 5am-9:30am, and in 1991 it became one of only two shows across Sky's 20 year history to have its own individual graphics, the other being flagship bulletin Live at Five. These graphics were swifly withdrawn after viewers and staff alike deemed them too gawdy and 'American'. The show has used the channel's graphics ever since. It is common however for Sunrise to use a slight variation of some elements, such as in 1997 when Sunrise had its own variation on the then title sequence, and in 2005 when Sunrise used an individual variation of the Sky News globe. During 1995 and 1996, reporters such as Tim Marshall and weather presenter Jo Wheeler became regular 'stand-ins'.

At the channel's relaunch on 24 October 2005, Eamonn Holmes and Lorna Dunkley became the regular presenters of the weekday editions of the show, with Steve Gaisford and Emma Crosby fronting the weekend edition of the programme. Jacquie Beltrao provided Sports updates during the week. On 15 January 2007, Lorna Dunkley moved to the channels weekend coverage and was replaced by Charlotte Hawkins, who presented news summaries rather than co-anchoring the show. Initially the Friday editions were presented by Mark Longhurst and Emma Crosby, the Saturday, Longhurst and Helen Fospero and Sunday, Longhurst and Samantha Simmonds. However, during April 2007 this format changed and Mark Longhurst became the sole presenter. From October 2007 Gillian Joseph provides news summaries, with Charlie Thomas continuing to present the channel's sports updates.

Since Monday 26 February 2007, Sunrise has been simulcast on Sky One Monday-Friday, and it has been noted that since Eamonn Holmes started to present the show solo, the strand has fallen out of the channels most watched list, as has much of the daytime output.
