Fox Sports is the brand name for a number of sports channels, broadcast divisions, programming, and other media around the world.

These assets are held mainly by the Fox Corporation, with the exceptions of the operations in Australia, which are part of Foxtel (majority-owned by Fox Corp. sister company News Corp Australia) and the operations in Mexico are owned by Grupo Multimedia Lauman while the operations in Argentina are owned by Mediapro but branding and contents are licensed to Fox Corporation[1] and the rest of the international Fox Sports channels were sold to The Walt Disney Company, following the acquisition.[2][3][4]
