It oversaw the production, [[broadcasting]] and distribution of the [[Fox (international)|Fox]], [[Fox Sports International]], [[Fox Sports]], [[FX Networks]], [[National Geographic Global Networks|National Geographic]] and [[BabyTV]] brands in the United States and over 1.725 billion households globally. The division also operated [[video on demand]] services Fox Now, Fox Play and Fox Plus.
The domestic broadcast units of 21st Century Fox jointly operated Fox International Channels until 2016 when its units were absorbed into this division. FNG's domestic unit consisted of Fox Television Group ([[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] and [[20th Century Fox Television]]), Fox Cable Networks, [[Fox Sports (United States)|Fox Sports Media Group]], [[Fox News|Fox News Group]], [[National Geographic Partners]] and Fox Networks Digital Consumer Group. Following [[Acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney|the completed acquisition]] of 21st Century Fox by [[the Walt Disney Company]] on March 20, 2019, the units making up the Fox Networks Group were dispersed into both the division's parent company's successor, [[Fox Corporation]] and Disney. Disney then revived the ''Walt Disney Television'' name previously used for [[Walt Disney Television|their former television production company]] for their networks division at the time known as ''Disney–ABC Television Group'' to and retooled its international networks division previously known as ''Disney International Operations'' (later renamed ''Walt Disney Direct-to-Consumer & International'', then [[Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution]]) to absorb the non-American units. Walt Disney Television changed name to Disney General Entertainment Content in 2021 and then to [[Disney Entertainment Television]] in 2023. DMED was dissolved in 2023 and the units of the latter got transferred to Disney's latest division, [[Disney Entertainment]], with the channels being subsequently rebranded as either [[FX (international)|FX]] or the [[Star Channel (international)|Star Channel]] while being taken over by Disney's international regional subsidiaries. The last Fox channel rebranding was [[Star Channel (Spanish TV channel)|in Spain]] on March 11, 2024.

In January 2016, 21st Century Fox announced a major reorganization of its non-U.S. television businesses. Fox International Channels (FIC), which have been operating separately from 21CF's U.S. domestic television businesses, would be abolished and the head of its regional divisions would report to CEO [[Peter Rice (executive)|Peter Rice]] and COO [[Randy Freer]] at Fox Networks Group in the United States, instead of outgoing FIC CEO [[Hernan Lopez (entrepreneur)|Hernan Lopez]], thus absorbing the international television businesses into Fox Networks Group. With that absorption, FIC's regional divisions being renamed Fox Networks Group Europe, Fox Networks Group Latin America and Fox Networks Group Asia, effectively abolishing Fox International Channels as a separate unit from 21st Century Fox's television business in the United States.<ref name="21CF-PressRelease-16JAN11">{{Cite press release|date=January 11, 2016|title=Fox Networks Group Reorganizes International Television Business|url=https://www.21cf.com/news/business/2016/fox-networks-group-reorganizes-international-television-business/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180801064638/https://www.21cf.com/news/business/2016/fox-networks-group-reorganizes-international-television-business/|archive-date=August 1, 2018|publisher=[[21st Century Fox]]|access-date=April 11, 2019}}</ref><ref name="Variety-16JAN11">{{Cite web|last=Littleton|first=Cynthia|date=January 11, 2016|title=Fox Reorganizes International Channels Division, CEO Hernan Lopez to Exit |url=https://variety.com/2016/tv/news/fox-international-channels-hernan-lopez-exit-reorganization-1201676865/ |url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211022191422/https://variety.com/2016/tv/news/fox-international-channels-hernan-lopez-exit-reorganization-1201676865/ |archive-date=October 22, 2021|work=Variety |access-date=January 11, 2016 }}</ref><ref name="THR-16JAN11">{{Cite news |last=Goldberg |first=Lesley |date=January 11, 2016 |title=Hernan Lopez Exits Fox International Channels Amid Global Consolidation |work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/hernan-lopez-exits-fox-international-854567 |url-status=live |access-date=April 11, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220102094846/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/hernan-lopez-exits-fox-international-854567/ |archive-date=January 2, 2022}}</ref> All three international divisions of Fox Networks Group were collectively referred as Fox Networks Group International in 21CF's formal documents (including the group's annual reports).<ref name="21CF-AnnualReport-2018">{{Cite web|date=13 August 2018|title=U.S. Annual Report|url=http://investor.21cf.com/static-files/de12e1e5-c35e-4ac4-a4b1-a35c0ece7cef|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190413163937/http://investor.21cf.com/static-files/de12e1e5-c35e-4ac4-a4b1-a35c0ece7cef|archive-date=April 13, 2019|work=[[21st Century Fox]]|publisher=[[U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission]]|access-date=April 13, 2019}}</ref>{{Rp|7}}
