A sub-channel assignment apparatus and method of minimizing interference caused by sub-channel frequency overlaps when assigning sub-channels for sectors of a base station in an OFDMA system of a FDMA type. The apparatus includes: a plurality of sector channel management parts that assign at least one channel having assignable channel indexes in response to requests from users in a sector managed by the sector channel management part, and report sector load information regarding the total number of the requests from the users in the sector; and a channel assignment scheduler for using the sector load information reported from each channel management part to calculate the number of assignable channels per class for each of the sectors, and determines the assignable channel indexes per class for each of the sectors according to the number of assignable channels, and forwards the assignable channel indexes to each of the sector channel management parts.
