The first five seasons of ''Sex and the City'' were released on [[VHS]] in box sets.<ref>{{Cite web |date=December 9, 2004 |title=HBO Store - Sex and the City: Video / DVD: Search for |url=http://store.hbo.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=1885703&view=all&cp=1885647 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041209234213/http://store.hbo.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=1885703&view=all&cp=1885647 |archive-date=December 9, 2004}}</ref>

All six seasons have since been released commercially on [[DVD]], with the sixth season split into two parts. These DVDs have been released in region 1 (Americas), region 2 (Europe & Middle East), region 3 (Korea), and region 4 (Oceania & South Pacific) formats. In addition to region encoding, the releases vary depending on the region in which they were distributed.

Beyond the standard single-season DVD box sets, limited edition collector's editions have been released, featuring all six seasons in one complete set. These editions differ by region. In Europe, a special "shoebox" packaging was created as a nod to [[Carrie Bradshaw]]'s love for shoes, while the U.S. and Canada versions were packaged in a more traditional fold-out suede case and included an additional bonus DVD with special features. In Mexico and Oceania, the set was packaged in a beauty case.

Some European viewers encountered issues with the Region 2 edition of the season 1 DVD, as it was not converted to the [[PAL]] video format and remained in its original American [[NTSC]] format. This caused compatibility problems with certain European television sets and DVD players. However, all subsequent [[DVD region code#2|Region 2]] DVD releases were properly transferred to PAL format using the original film prints, and season 1 has since been re-released in PAL.

Outside the U.S., ''Sex and the City'' boxed sets were released through [[Paramount Pictures]], while in the U.S. and Canada, they were released by the program's original broadcaster, [[HBO]]. In Australia, single editions were made available, with each disc sold separately. In [[South Korea]], complete six-season special DVD shoebox sets were released. In Brazil, the first and fifth seasons were released on DVD Dual, while the remaining seasons were released in DVD [[box set]]s.<ref>{{Citation |title=Sex and the City: The Complete Series DVD (Sex and the City: Collection) (Brazil) |url=https://www.blu-ray.com/dvd/Sex-and-the-City-The-Complete-Series-DVD/119893/ |access-date=2022-12-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221205211908/https://www.blu-ray.com/dvd/Sex-and-the-City-The-Complete-Series-DVD/119893/ |archive-date=December 5, 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref>
