A two-year deal involves creating half-hour scripted comedies that will air on Sky1 and Sky Atlantic in the UK and FX in America.
Sky's recent comedy hits have included Charlie Brooker's A Touch of Cloth, Moone Boy and Alan Partridge's Mid-Morning Matters.
Meanwhile, FX famously gave the world Louie and cult favourite It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
"We're hugely excited about working with FX Networks to develop distinctive brand new comedy and further strengthen our commitment to original home-grown programming," said Sky's head of comedy Lucy Lumsden.
"Partnering with the world's most renowned broadcasters lets us bring Sky customers something truly special, and we look forward to working with the most talented comedy writers and performers in both Britain and the US."
