Fox Sports broadcasts some of the nation’s biggest sports events, from NFL games to soccer. But, like so many traditional cable channels (including other Fox products), Fox Sports is tricky to watch if you’ve transitioned to a streaming setup and cut the cord on cable.
Quick Answer: Cord-cutters can watch Fox Sports without cable using live TV streaming services like DirecTV Stream, Hulu + Live TV, fubo, and Sling.
Luckily, there are ways to watch Fox Sports without cable, whether you’re tuning in for one big event or looking to watch the channel regularly. Several top-rated live TV streaming services now carry the sports channel, letting you livestream Fox Sports without cable.
The best way to watch Fox Sports without cable is to get a live TV streaming service that carries the channel. Here are some of our favorite such streamers, including details on their pricing and free trial offerings.
With Fox Sports, ESPN, and local channels (Fox, NBC, ABC) in all of its packages, DirecTV Stream is one of our favorites for sports fans. Packages start at $79.99 a month but you get a five-day free trial to start. For even more sports content, upgrade to the Choice package ($108.99 a month) to get regional sports networks too.
As far as streaming bundles go, Hulu + Live TV is easily the most comprehensive. For $76.99 a month (after a three-day free trial), Hulu + Live TV gets you Hulu (on-demand), ESPN+, Disney+, and more than 95 live TV channels — including Fox Sports (FS1 and FS2).
Hulu + Live TV bundles together Hulu’s on-demand library and over 95 live TV channels, including local channels and almost all popular national channels. Subscriptions also include ESPN+ and Disney+ at no additional cost. Hulu + Live TV costs $76.99 a month after a three-day free trial.
fubo is another great option for cord-cutters looking to watch Fox Sports without cable. The service offers a generous seven-day free trial, and packages start at $79.99 a month after that.
A more affordable way to watch Fox Sports online without cable is Sling, which carries the channel in its Blue package. This package carries 45 channels in total and costs $45 a month (no trial, though, unfortunately).
Sling is one of the most affordable live TV streaming services, with packages starting at $40 a month. You can get up to 46 channels in the Sling Orange + Blue plan, plus more with Sling’s add-ons.
If you’re looking to get a free Fox Sports livestream — maybe for a single game or event — you’re in luck. Thanks to the free trials offered by DirecTV Stream, Hulu + Live TV, and fubo, you can watch Fox Sports for free for a total of 15 days. Check out DirecTV Stream’s five-day free trial here, Hulu + Live TV’s three-day trial here, and fubo’s seven-day trial here.
Right now, Fox Sports is deep in mid-season MLB action (see upcoming baseball games here). They’re also showing a handful of Major League Soccer games, which has, of course, seen skyrocketing popularity since Lionel Messi landed at Inter Miami. The channel is also gearing up for the 2024 NFL season, which kicks off on Sept. 5.
