== History ==
{{Cleanup press release|section|date=July 2018}}
===Early years===
====Launch====
Fox Sports started life as the Premier Sports Network (later just Premier Sports) as the only fully operational local channel at the launch of Australia's first pay-television service, [[Galaxy (Australian television)|Galaxy]].<ref name=galaxylaunch /> Premier Sports' backers included American company Prime International, which later became part of [[Liberty Media]]. The service was launched at 16:00 on 26 January 1995 in [[Sydney]], and made a name for itself, securing the rights to Australia's [[cricket]] tour of the West Indies.<ref name=galaxylaunch>{{cite news|title=At home with Pay TV|first=Phil|last=Bertolus|page=1|newspaper=[[The Age|The Age Green Guide]]|publisher=[[Fairfax Media]]|location=[[Melbourne]]|date=2 February 1995|access-date=27 January 2010|url=http://newsstore.fairfax.com.au/apps/viewDocument.ac?docID=news950202_0222_6206}}</ref> Previously Australian cricket tours had been covered on the [[Nine Network]] on free-to-air, and Nine tried to stop the broadcast under Australia's [[Anti-siphoning laws in Australia|anti-siphoning rules]], which state that certain popular sporting events cannot be screened exclusively on pay television. PSN signed a deal with [[Network 10]] to share the broadcast rights.
====Foxtel
When [[Foxtel]] launched its cable service later that year, PSN was included as part of the package. Between 1995 and 2010, Fox Sports aired [[National Basketball League (Australia)|National Basketball League (NBL)]] games. On 1 March 1996, PSN was relaunched as Fox Sports Australia, to coincide with the new [[Super Rugby|Super 12]] [[rugby union]] competition and the proposed launch of the [[Super League (Australia)|Super League]].
In 1997 a secondary channel was launched on Foxtel to carry broadcasts of the new [[Super League (Australia)|Super League]] competition. Fox Sports and its chief competitor, [[C7 Sport|Sports Australia]] shared the rights to NRL broadcasts as a result of the legal settlement in the [[Super League war]]. The channel on Foxtel was later relaunched as ''Fox Sports Two'', at first broadcasting from Friday through Monday each week, and later expanding to a full 24-hour, 7-day service in 2002.
===2000s===
====Optus launch====
When [[Optus Television|Optus Vision]] dropped the C7 Sport service in March 2002, they started carrying the Fox Sports channels. These were referred to by Optus as "Optus Sports 1" and "Optus Sports 2" in Optus promotional material; on-air programming referred to the channels as simply "Sports One" and "Sports Two", although programming such as the nightly ''Fox Sports News'' bulletins retained the Fox name. Optus dropped the "Optus Sports" name in October 2002.
Fox Sports Two was generally used to cover bigger events that require large amounts of air time, such as the [[1998 Winter Olympics]], [[Grand Slam tennis]] tournaments, and the [[UEFA Euro 2004|2004 European Football Championship]]. It now specialises as a 24/7, dedicated [[Rugby league]] channel, [[Fox League]].
During the [[2006 Commonwealth Games]] in [[Melbourne]], Fox Sports carried an additional eight channels dedicated to Games events. These were available to customers at an additional charge.
Fox Sports was the exclusive broadcaster of the [[A-League]] from its first season in 2005 until 2020. In 2006, an A$120 million deal between the [[Football Australia|Football Federation Australia]] and Fox Sports was reached after the end of the first season. Under the deal, Fox Sports had exclusive rights from 2007 to all [[Australia men's national soccer team|Socceroos]] home internationals, all A-League and [[Asian Cup]] fixtures, [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] qualifiers through the [[Asian Football Confederation]], and all [[AFC Champions League]] matches.
The deal to cover the [[A-league]] live and exclusive reaped big rewards for Fox Sports, its ratings were very strong in the 2006–07 season and the 2007 A-league grand final became at the time, Fox Sports' highest ever rating event.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.crikey.com.au/Media/20070219-Media-briefs-and-TV-ratings.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20121230172226/http://www.crikey.com.au/Media/20070219-Media-briefs-and-TV-ratings.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=30 December 2012|title=Big Audience For A-league Final}}</ref>
Ratings for [[Association football|football]] have generally been very good. The Socceroos first game of the [[2007 AFC Asian Cup]], attracted 345,000 viewers,<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/asian-cup-news/football-boots-big-league/2007/07/09/1183833431250.html | title=footballboots big league | work=The Sydney Morning Herald | date=10 July 2007}}</ref> while their quarter-final drew an average of 419,000<ref>{{cite web|url=http://au.fourfourtwo.com/news/56973,japan-game-a-tv-record.aspx |title=Japan Game a TV Record |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928021200/http://au.fourfourtwo.com/news/56973,japan-game-a-tv-record.aspx |archive-date=28 September 2007}}</ref> – at the time, an all-time record for Australian Pay TV. This record was broken on 1 April 2009, when the Socceroos defeated [[Uzbekistan national football team|Uzbekistan]] to put them very close to qualification for the [[2010 FIFA World Cup]]. This match was watched by an average of 431,000 people.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.crikey.com.au/chappell/2009/04/02/socceroos-almost-through-to-world-cup-as-largest-ever-foxtel-audience-tunes-in/|title=Crikey – On politics, media, business, the environment and life|access-date=2 April 2009|archive-url=https://archive.today/20110715021206/http://blogs.crikey.com.au/chappell/2009/04/02/socceroos-almost-through-to-world-cup-as-largest-ever-foxtel-audience-tunes-in/|archive-date=15 July 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref>
In 2007, Fox Sports reached a deal to broadcast 4 games live and exclusive from the [[Australian Football League|AFL]] each week. This includes the exclusive only Sunday twilight match. In addition they will broadcast Friday night games live into New South Wales and Queensland via channel 518 at no extra charge – normally used for pay-per-view service [[Main Event (TV channel)|Main Event]]. When channel 518 is used in this way it is promoted as Fox Sports Plus on-air.
The channel is being used increasingly to show live events when Fox Sports has a clash involving its main 3 channels. On Saturday 17 March 2007, for example, Fox Sports broadcast a match from the [[2007 Cricket World Cup]] (Ireland v Pakistan) live on 518, as it was committed to football, rugby union and another cricket match on its main 3 channels.
===2010s===
In 2010 Fox Sports coverage of [[National Rugby League]] games held 73 out of the top 100 programs of any type aired on Foxtel. In February 2012, the Premier Media Group changed its name to Fox Sports Pty Limited.<ref>{{cite web|last=Knox |first=David |url=http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2012/02/premier-media-changes-name-to-fox-sports-australia.html |title=Premier Media changes name to Fox Sports Australia |publisher=TV Tonight |date=29 February 2012 |access-date=1 July 2013}}</ref>
In February 2012, Premier Media Group changed its name to Fox Sports, with CEO Patrick Delany explaining "The change from Premier Media to Fox Sports provides a stronger reflection of the core business of the company in its name, which is, and will continue to be, sport."
On 2 November 2012, News Corp took control of [[Consolidated Media Holdings]] after a $2 billion merger was approved by the [[Australian Competition & Consumer Commission]], [[Federal Court of Australia|Federal Court]] and Consolidated Media Holding shareholders, making News Corp 100% owner of Fox Sports Pty Ltd.<ref name="News Corp.

[[File:Fox Sports Australia Logos.svg|thumb|Fox Sports logo used from 2008 until 2013]]
On 5 March 2013, Fox Sports unveiled its new headquarters at [[Gore Hill]] in Sydney. It was announced that the main studio would be named the Clive Churchill Studio after [[The Immortals (rugby league)|rugby league immortal]] [[Clive Churchill]], as the studio will house NRL coverage. Technical innovations were the main highlight, with CEO Patrick Delany unveiling the FoxKopter, the FoxMobile Segway, Ref Cam and Cornerpost Cam.

On many occasions the Main Event channel was used when the [[Premier League]] had multiple games on the one night, although usage in this capacity is rare now that the "Viewer's Choice" system of showing multiple matches on one channel through multi-casting (pressing the "Red Button" on a Foxtel/Austar remote control). Unlike the AFL, the [[National Rugby League|NRL]] was never broadcast into Southern Australia through Fox Sports Plus on Friday nights, leaving its Southern Australian fans having to wait until at least after midnight for a replay of the match on local free-to-air channels up until 2012.
