How can I list all foreign keys referencing a given table in SQL Server?

Not sure why no one suggested but I use sp_fkeys to query foreign keys for a given table:

EXEC sp_fkeys 'TableName'

You can also specify the schema:

EXEC sp_fkeys @pktable_name="TableName", @pktable_owner="dbo"

Without specifying the schema, the docs state the following:

If pktable_owner is not specified, the default table visibility rules
of the underlying DBMS apply.

In SQL Server, if the current user owns a table with the specified
name, that table’s columns are returned. If pktable_owner is not
specified and the current user does not own a table with the specified
pktable_name, the procedure looks for a table with the specified
pktable_name owned by the database owner. If one exists, that table’s
columns are returned.
