FXX is an American basic cable channel owned by the Disney Entertainment business segment and division of The Walt Disney Company through FX Networks, LLC.[2] It is the partner channel of FX, with its programming focusing on original and acquired comedy series and feature films for a primary demographic of men ages 18–34.[3]

FXX launched on September 2, 2013, at 7:00 a.m. ET/6:00 a.m. CT, replacing Fox Soccer.[3] The channel set a record for the longest continuous marathon in the history of television with a marathon featuring every episode of The Simpsons that had been released at the time and The Simpsons Movie over the course of twelve days.[4] This record has since been broken by VH1 Classic.[5]

As of November 2023, FXX is available to approximately 58,000,000 pay television households in the United States-down from its 2019 peak of 87,000,000 households.[6]
