What’s the Best Live TV Streaming Service for Watching Fox?

The Fox broadcast network has a great mix of sitcoms, reality shows and live sports, and we’ll lay out the best ways to stream it here.

Fox offers one of the most diverse content slates of any broadcast channel. It comes with a huge array of shows, news, and live sporting events. Where else can you watch reality shows like “The Masked Singer,” adult animation favorites like “The Simpsons” alongside NFL and college football games, the MLB World Series, and election news all in one place?

There are several live TV streaming services that carry Fox, and we’ll use our mountain of (sometimes useless) knowledge about them to steer you to the best place for watching Fox without a cable subscription!

Which Streamers Are Best for Watching Fox?

How to Stream Fox

Fox is available to stream on one of five different live TV streaming platforms. Each of these has its own particular advantages and drawbacks, so stay with me as I walk you through them below and let you know why I ranked them the way I did.

Top Choice for Streaming Fox Without Cable: Hulu + Live TV

Hulu + Live TV is our top choice for watching Fox in most areas.

Hulu + Live TV is our number one pick for watching Fox without cable or satellite. This service carries Fox in the vast majority of American media markets and comes with a three-day free trial. Once that trial ends, Hulu + Live TV starts at $83 per month.

Hulu + Live TV includes more than 90 popular cable channels overall and also allows its customers to sign up and access Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ at no extra cost for more sports and entertainment options. Since Fox has a distribution deal with Hulu, anything you miss live, or forget to record via DVR, is easily available to stream on Hulu the next day.

The price, wide availability of Fox, and the extra value from the Disney Bundle all combine to make Hulu + Live TV our best choice for streaming the channel.

Best Alternative for Streaming Fox Without Cable: DIRECTV STREAM

DIRECTV STREAM's free trial and ability to stream in 4K make it a great choice for watchin Fox.

DIRECTV STREAM is a close second to Hulu + Live TV when it comes to streaming Fox. This service also carries Fox in a huge number of markets, and it even ups the free trial new customers get to five days. One benefit you’ll get with Fox that you won’t find on Hulu + Live TV is the ability to stream any events available from Fox in 4K; Fox is one of the few broadcast channels that offers some 4K programming, and DIRECTV STREAM will let you watch it without an upcharge.

Packages for DIRECTV STREAM start at $87 per month, and viewers can get three months of premium services like Max, Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, STARZ, and more at no cost when they subscribe.

Best Way for Sports Lovers to Stream Fox Without Cable: Fubo

Fubo has Fox and a free trial, but is one of the pricier options out there.

Fubo is an excellent sports streaming platform, with regional sports networks (RSNs) available in most markets and a host of national sports channels like ESPN, FS1, and more. It too carries Fox in the majority of areas around the United States and comes with a free trial of varying length depending on what time of month a user signs up.

Fubo plans start at $95 per month, including the regional sports network fee most will have to pay. Like DIRECTV STREAM, Fubo also offers some events from Fox in 4K, but you’ll have to upgrade to the Elite with Sports Plus package ($115 per month) to watch in Ultra-High-Definition.

Cheapest Way to Stream Fox Without Cable in Select Markets: Sling TV

Sling TV has Fox in 19 markets, with prices starting at just $40 per month.

Sling TV carries Fox in its Blue package, which starts at just $40 per month. This streamer recently added the capability to watch events in 4K as well, and viewers don’t have to pay anything extra to stream any programming in 4K with Sling.

So what’s the catch? Well, Fox is only available in 19 markets around the country on Sling TV. Those markets include Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Dallas, Gainesville, Houston, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, New York City, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, Tacoma, Tampa and Washington D.C.. If you live in one of these areas, you can watch Fox with a Sling subscription at a low monthly price!

Last Choice: YouTube TV

YouTube TV has Fox in most markets, but is not our first choice for watching the channel.

YouTube TV also carries Fox in the vast majority of American markets, and comes in at a starting price of $73 per month. This service has a free trial, though it does not offer the same trial length consistently to all new customers.

There are also no free streaming services that come with YouTube TV, and viewers have to pay an extra $10 per month to get 4K content with the service. It’s a good choice for watching Fox, we just think there are better options available.
