On 10 March 2008, News Corporation applied for a broadcasting license for Fox International Channels Germany GmbH from MABB, the media authority for the Berlin Brandenburg region.

In November 2011, FOX bought pay-TV rights to rerun the first two seasons of legal drama The Good Wife.

After a successful run, FOX bought the rights to show new episodes, starting with season three.

The free-TV rights were with ProSiebenSat.1 Media which planned to broadcast the third season to be shown on sixx.

On 6 July 2021, it was announced that Fox, along with Disney Junior would close in Germany on 30 September 2021, on the same time with the Asian version and African version of the channel, with most of its content shifting to Star content hub on Disney+.
