QVC Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

QVC, the West Chester, Pennsylvania-based shopping network, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to restructure its debt.

According to a report by Delaware Online, part of the USA TODAY Network, QVC plans to seek court approval for first-day motions to preserve ordinary course operations, with a potential end to bankruptcy protection expected in the summer.

QVC said it is seeking Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to restructure its debt after years of declining sales and viewership amid changes in consumer shopping habits. Its bankruptcy filing points to ongoing revenue struggles, rising costs, staff reductions, and billions in debt as the drivers behind its decision to seek bankruptcy protection.

Delaware Online notes that QVC remains popular with shoppers, ranking 55th on the National Retail Federation Top 100 Retailers list and third in Newsweek's Best Customer Service ranking for online retailers in 2025.

The company employs more than 10,000 people.

QVC is the parent company of the QVC network and HSN. For now, customers can shop normally on QVC's website and broadcast channel during the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process.
