LifeStyle (formerly known as The LifeStyle Channel) is an Australian pay-TV channel currently owned and operated by Foxtel Networks. The channel was launched by XYZnetworks on September 1, 1997.[1] The channel primarily broadcasts non-fiction content covering contemporary lifestyle interests including food and wine, home and garden, real estate, shopping, travel, leisure, and real life drama.[2]

On 1 March 2011, a HD simulcast of Lifestyle launched on Austar and Foxtel on channel 216.[3]

On 19 September 2016, all LifeStyle channels refreshed their look which included new unified logos.[4] A second brand refresh took place in November 2019.[5]

A LifeStyle branded streaming service, independent from Foxtel's other video-on-demand services, was launched in 2024 under the company's Hubbl division.[6]
