Founded in 1976, it served as its own distinct home video distribution arm of Fox Entertainment Group. On March 20, 2019, The Walt Disney Company acquired 21st Century Fox, and as a result, 20th Century Home Entertainment's operations were folded into Disney's own home entertainment division.

Fox's worldwide distribution deal with MGM was due to expire in September 2011, but was renewed and extended on April 13, 2011 and was due to expire in 2016, but was renewed and extended again for the third time, which means it will be due to expire in June 2020. They also distribute titles from Lionsgate, EuropaCorp and Entertainment One. TCFHE formerly distributed Clarius Entertainment titles until the company changed its name to Aviron Pictures and switched its North American home video distributor to Universal Pictures Home Entertainment in 2015.
