How to Stream Fox News Channel in 2026: All Legal, Free, and Paid Options
Here’s everything you need to know about watching Fox News in 2026.
How to Watch Fox News Channel for Free
There are a few legal ways to watch Fox News Channel live without paying.
Free Trials of Streaming Services with Fox News Channel
You can watch Fox News Channel with free trials of multi-channel streamers like DIRECTV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, and YouTube TV. Those services typically offer 1-5 days of free streaming. Cancel before the trial ends and you won’t be charged.
You can also choose a 7-day free trial of FOX One through Prime Video.
Watching Fox News Channel Content with a Totally Free Streaming Service
Although Fox News Channel content isn’t available on free services, the politically aligned LiveNOW from FOX is widely available. You can see LiveNOW from FOX on free streamers like Plex, The Roku Channel, Samsung TV Plus, Tubi, LG Channels, VIZIO WatchFree+, and Xumo Play.
Paid Options to Stream Fox News Channel
There are 6 streaming services that offer the full Fox News Channel in 2026.
Watching Fox News Channel with FOX One
The most straightforward way to watch Fox News Channel is to choose FOX One. This streaming service gives you Fox News Channel, your local FOX affiliate, Big Ten Network, and more. The price is much higher than we’d like, but if Fox News Channel is the only channel you need, it may make sense.
$19.99
You also have the option to bundle FOX One with ESPN Unlimited for $39.99.
$49.98/mo.
$39.99/mo.
Watching Fox News Channel with DIRECTV
DIRECTV is a great live TV option with several different channel packages. In fact, DIRECTV offers more channels than any other live streamer. Fox News is available starting with the very affordable MyEntertainment plan ($34.99).
You’ll get an unlimited DVR, unlimited streams at home, and a very friendly user interface. It’s my top choice for first-time cord-cutters.
$34.99/mo.+
Watching Fox News with Sling TV
Sling TV is a strong choice for Fox News. Choose Sling Select, Sling Blue or Orange + Blue package to access Fox News. These options aren’t quite as cheap as the DIRECTV genre packs, but they’re more affordable than most other options.
Sling Select offers a bundle with Fox News Channel for as low as $19.99, depending on where you live.
$19.99/mo.+

Watching Fox News Channel with Fubo
I don’t normally recommend Fubo because its price is outrageous, compared to its competitors. The channel lineup has some giant holes. Still, you can get Fox News starting with the Fubo News + Sports package (only available in some areas.)
$55.99/mo.
Watching Fox News Channel with Hulu + Live TV
Hulu + Live TV might be the best value in live TV streaming. Not only do you get a generous channel lineup, you also get free Disney+, ESPN Unlimited, and Hulu on-demand. It’s a great package for families. Many users complain about the clunky interface. Still, it’s a ton of entertainment for a fair price and you will be able to stream Fox News.
$89.99/mo.
Includes FREE Disney+, ESPN Unlimited, and Hulu on-demand

Watching Fox News Channel with YouTube TV
YouTube TV is quickly becoming a dinosaur in the live TV streaming world. It was my go-to solution for several years, but I dropped it as the price climbed and the channel lineup remained stale. It’s nearly the same price as Hulu + Live TV but without the free streaming services. YouTube TV does carry Fox News.
$82.99/mo.

FOX Nation only includes Fox News Channel if you pay for the bundle with FOX One. The total for the combo is $24.99, but they give you a $5 discount for the first 6 months.
