Fox Life, now rebranded asStar Life andFX Life, was an internationalpay television network, launched by theFox Networks Group in 2004. The network has been discontinued in several markets over time.

The network's scheduling has varied with each version, ranging from traditional entertainment programming, including television series, sitcoms and movies, among others, original programming in certain regions, and instructional and aspirational reality television on some other variations; in North America for instance, the network carried mainly Spanish language dubbed versions of American reality shows and instructional programming. The channel has been owned byInternational Operations division ofThe Walt Disney Company since March 2019.

Fox Life was first launched in Italy on May 13, 2004, in Portugal on May 19, 2005, andBulgaria on September 8, 2005. For Latin America, it started in July 2006, when it was launched in Brazil. The channel also has versions in other countries around Europe. It launched in the Netherlands andFlanders on September 7, 2009.^[8] Fox Life launched in the United States on November 4, 2013.^[9]

As of 22 November 2011, Fox had to change the programming for Fox Life in Flanders due to television rights issues in Belgium. From then on, a separate Flemish version was airing in Belgium. It used to air the Dutch version. The provider ofsatellite television in the Netherlands,Canal Digitaal, had to replace Fox Life with the Finnish version as well because it shared the Fox Life feed with the Belgium provider ofsatellite television,TV Vlaanderen Digitaal.^[10]

On 1 October 2017, the Hong Kong and Southeast Asian version ofStar World was rebranded toFox Life.^[11][12][13]
