Fox Family Movies was a Southeast Asian subscription television channel operated by Fox Networks Group Asia Pacific, which is part of Disney International Operations. It debuted in Singapore on 16 September 2010 and subsequently broadened its reach across Southeast Asia.

The channel secured exclusive first-run agreements for films from leading studios such as Disney (including 20th Century Studios and Walt Disney Pictures), Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Warner Bros., and StudioCanal. Additionally, it showcased movies from distributors like Lionsgate, Summit Entertainment, and The Weinstein Company. In contrast to its sister networks, Fox Movies and Fox Action Movies, Fox Family Movies provided select titles with Dual Language options.

Overview and History

The channel commenced broadcasting in Singapore through StarHub on 16 September 2010.

Starting in 2016, Fox Family Movies extended its availability to the Middle East and North Africa territories alongside sister channels Fox Action Movies and FX, following an agreement between Fox Networks Group Middle East and Ericsson for playout services.

Transmission ended on 1 October 2021 throughout Southeast Asia, with the final film aired being Annabelle Hooper and the Ghosts of Nantucket. Nevertheless, the broadcast for the Middle East and North Africa region persisted until 1 December 2022, when the channel was ultimately discontinued.
