AXN primarily broadcasts
American and
British television programs. Its content is sourced from major production studios, including
Sony Pictures Television,
Paramount Global Content Distribution,
NBCUniversal Television,
Lionsgate, and
Fremantle. AXN's wide range of partnerships enables it to air television episodes the same day they premiere in the
United States. It also acquires recently released, high-profile American films from
Sony Pictures (
Columbia Pictures and
TriStar Pictures) and other Hollywood film studios. AXN occasionally features region-specific programming tailored to
Southeast Asian audiences and airs special events, including the annual
Rose Parade and the ContentAsia Awards. In 2025, the channel briefly incorporated sporting events to its schedule; its portfolio included pan-regional broadcast rights to the 2025 season
LIV Golf tournaments and select
Taiwan Professional Basketball League games, which are currently only available on AXN's official YouTube channel.
Anime programmes During the late 1990s and early 2000s, AXN featured a variety of
anime series, many of which were broadcast in Japanese with English subtitles. The channel also organized annual anime festivals across Southeast Asia, catering to the growing interest in Japanese animation within the region at the time. AXN's anime content was moved to its sister channel,
Animax Asia, in 2004; the shift had been planned since the late 1990s. Despite this, AXN began to reintroduce English-dubbed anime programs from Animax Asia in the
Philippines during morning and late-afternoon time slots in the 2010s. It again stopped airing anime in August, 2016 as AXN shifted its focus back to its core content. ==Original productions==
