Abstract: We carry out a systematic study of 4d $mathcalN=2$ preserving S-folds of F-theory 7-branes and the worldvolume theories on D3-branes probing them. They consist of two infinite series of theories, which we denote following the original papers by $mathcal{S}_{G,ell}^{(r)}$ for $ell=2,3,4$ and $mathcal{T}_{G,ell}^{(r)}$ for $ell=2,3,4,5,6$. Their distinction lies in the discrete torsion carried by the S-fold and in the difference in the asymptotic holonomy of the gauge bundle on the 7-brane. We study various properties of these theories, using diverse field theoretical and string theoretical methods.
