Fox Comedy is an Australian subscription television channel focused on airing popular sitcoms. The channel launched on 7 November 2019 as Fox Hits.[1][2]

The network rebranded on 1 September 2020 after ten months, merging with sister network The Comedy Channel to become Fox Comedy.[3] Though it shares a similar name to sister network Fox Funny (which carries more contemporary sitcoms), Fox Comedy's schedule features sitcoms ranging from the 80s to around the mid-2000s.
