QVC is an American home shopping network founded in 1986 in West Chester, Pennsylvania, that broadcasts live programming around the clock across 15 television channels and a major e-commerce website, reaching more than 200 million households worldwide. The network sells merchandise across categories including fashion, jewelry, electronics, beauty, and home goods through its QVC and HSN brands.

Parent company QVC Group Inc., formerly Qurate Retail Group, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in April 2026 seeking to reduce its debt from approximately 6.6 billion dollars to 1.3 billion dollars; QVC's operating subsidiary and its international operations continued without interruption during the restructuring proceedings. Following years of revenue decline and a workforce reduction to approximately 15,800 employees, the company has been pivoting toward live social shopping on streaming and social media platforms.
