Does YouTube TV Have Fox?

YouTube TV launched genre-specific plans in early 2026, giving subscribers more affordable options. The Fox channels you get depend on which plan you pick. The table below shows exactly what’s included on each tier.

The confusion around Fox on YouTube TV comes from a few specific situations: the 2025 contract fight that nearly caused a blackout, the difference between local Fox and Fox News, the cheaper plans that don’t include all Fox channels, and the Fox Sports app going away. All of it answered below.

  Does YouTube TV have Fox Sports? Yes — FS1 and FS2 are included on the Sports Plan ($64.99/mo) and all higher tiers · The old Fox Sports TV app ended May 7 and is now replaced by Fox One

  FS1 and FS2 are both on YouTube TV and have been since the service launched. For most sports fans, FS1 is the one that matters — it carries NASCAR, college football, Major League Baseball, and soccer including all 35 FIFA World Cup matches not airing on the main Fox broadcast channel. FS2 handles overflow sports content. Both are included on the Sports Plan at $64.99/month, which is the most affordable way to get them on YouTube TV. One change that tripped up a lot of viewers: the Fox Sports app on smart TVs, Roku, Fire Stick, and Apple TV officially shut down on May 7. Fox Sports content — including live games and shows — moved to the new Fox One app. If you have YouTube TV, you do not need Fox One separately; FS1 and FS2 are already part of your subscription. Fox One ($19.99/month standalone) is only necessary if you want Fox channels without a full live TV package.

  Does YouTube TV have Fox News? Yes — Fox News Channel is included on the Sports + News Plan ($71.99/mo), the News + Entertainment + Family Plan, and the main base plan · It is NOT on the Sports-only Plan or Entertainment Plan

  Fox News Channel is on YouTube TV, but you only get it if your plan includes news channels. The Sports Plan ($64.99/month) deliberately excludes Fox News — it focuses on sports content only. To get Fox News on YouTube TV, you need the Sports + News Plan ($71.99/month), the News + Entertainment + Family Plan ($69.99/month), or the full main base plan ($82.99/month). If you are currently on the Sports Plan and cannot find Fox News, that is why — it is not a glitch, it is simply not part of that tier. Upgrading from Sports to Sports + News adds Fox News, Fox Business, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, Bloomberg, and other news networks for $7 more per month. For viewers whose primary reason for having YouTube TV is Fox News, the Sports + News Plan at $71.99/month is the most cost-efficient option.

  Does YouTube TV have Fox Business? Yes — Fox Business Network is on the Sports + News Plan, News + Entertainment + Family Plan, and the main base plan · Not available on the Sports-only or Entertainment-only plans

  Fox Business Network follows the same pattern as Fox News — it lives in the “news” tier of YouTube TV’s plan structure. If you watch Fox Business for market coverage, financial programming, or the morning shows, you need a plan that includes news channels. The Sports + News Plan at $71.99/month is the most direct route. One practical note: Fox Business is also available through Fox One, Fox’s own standalone streaming service at $19.99/month, which includes Fox News, Fox Business, Fox Weather, FS1, FS2, and local Fox affiliates all in one place. If Fox News and Fox Business are your only priorities and you don’t care about sports or entertainment channels, Fox One at $19.99/month is significantly cheaper than any YouTube TV plan. But if you also watch football, baseball, or other cable content, YouTube TV remains the better overall value.

  Has Fox left YouTube TV — or is it still there? Fox is fully on YouTube TV under a long-term deal signed in August 2025 · The near-blackout in August 2025 was resolved before any channels went dark · Fox is not leaving YouTube TV

  There was a real scare in August 2025. YouTube TV and Fox Corporation came close to a contract standoff that would have pulled Fox News, FS1, local Fox affiliates, and other Fox channels off the service right before the NFL season. The two sides traded public statements, Fox launched a “Keep Fox” campaign directing subscribers to complain to Google, and the FCC chairman publicly pressured both sides to reach an agreement. They did — a long-term deal was announced, keeping the full Fox portfolio on YouTube TV. The deal covers Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network, Fox Weather, Fox Sports, FS1, FS2, Fox Deportes, the Big Ten Network, the Fox broadcast network, and all Fox local stations. That agreement is now in place, so Fox is not going anywhere in the near future. The key lesson from that episode: these carriage disputes happen regularly in the streaming industry, and there is no guarantee any future renewal will go smoothly. Checking your local news when a contract expiration approaches is always wise.

  Why is Fox not working on YouTube TV? Most common causes: wrong plan (Fox News not on Sports Plan), app needs update, device needs restart, or local affiliate missing in your ZIP code · Step-by-step fix below

  When Fox disappears from YouTube TV, there are a handful of likely culprits. The most common one people miss: if you recently switched to the Sports Plan ($64.99/month), Fox News and Fox Business were simply removed from your lineup — they are not included in that tier. That is not a bug. For genuine technical issues, the standard fix sequence works most of the time: first, close the YouTube TV app completely and reopen it. If that doesn’t work, restart the device itself (television, streaming stick, phone, tablet). If the channel still doesn’t appear, uninstall the YouTube TV app and reinstall it fresh. After reinstalling, search for the Fox channel directly using the search bar rather than browsing the guide. If your local Fox affiliate specifically is missing, check tv.youtube.com with your ZIP code — coverage gaps do exist in a small number of markets, and those aren’t fixable from your end. A genuine blackout during a contract renewal period is a separate situation — those are announced in advance and affect all subscribers, not just one device.

  What channel number is Fox on YouTube TV? YouTube TV does not use traditional channel numbers · Find Fox by searching “Fox” in the app · Local Fox affiliate, Fox News, and FS1 each appear separately in search results

  This trips up viewers who are used to cable or satellite, where every channel has a fixed number. YouTube TV does not assign channel numbers the way traditional pay-TV does. There is no channel 5 or channel 105 — you find channels by searching for them by name or browsing the guide. To find your local Fox affiliate, type “Fox” in the search bar and look for your city’s station (it may appear as “FOX 5,” “FOX 7,” or “FOX 32” depending on your market). Fox News Channel appears as “Fox News” in search. FS1 appears as “FS1.” They are all separate search results. If you want to save any of these to your personal guide so they appear consistently, tap the channel name and select “Add to library” or the equivalent bookmark option. That keeps them near the top of your guide so you don’t have to search every time.

  How to watch Fox News live on YouTube TV for free New YouTube TV subscribers get a free trial (length varies) · Fox One offers a 3-day free trial as a standalone service · No permanent free-forever option exists for live Fox News, but free trials are the closest thing

  There is no ongoing free way to watch Fox News live on YouTube TV — but free trials let you watch without paying for the first stretch. YouTube TV periodically offers free trial periods for new subscribers, typically ranging from 7 to 21 days depending on current promotions; check tv.youtube.com directly for whatever trial is currently active. Fox One, Fox’s own app, offers a 3-day free trial for new subscribers at $19.99/month, and it includes live Fox News. A third option worth knowing: Fox News streams some of its content on the Fox News website and the Fox News mobile app at no charge — but that is clip-based and on-demand, not a full live stream. For full live access to Fox News on a TV screen, a paid subscription to either YouTube TV or Fox One is required. The cheapest path to live Fox News on YouTube TV without the full Sports + News Plan is Fox One standalone at $19.99/month, which is about half the price of any YouTube TV plan that includes it.

  What channel is Fox One on YouTube TV? Fox One is a separate streaming service — not a channel inside YouTube TV · As of June 2026, Fox One is also available as a standalone add-on through YouTube’s Primetime Channels feature · The two products are distinct

  This is a genuinely confusing question because Fox One launched while YouTube TV was already carrying Fox channels, so people reasonably wonder if they overlap. They do — but they are separate products. Fox One is Fox Corporation’s own streaming service (like Peacock is for NBC or Paramount+ is for CBS). It launched as a standalone subscription at $19.99/month, replacing the old Fox Sports app that shut down in May. As of early June 2026, Fox One became available as an add-on through YouTube’s Primetime Channels feature — meaning you can subscribe to Fox One directly within the YouTube app interface. That Fox One add-on and your YouTube TV subscription are billed and managed separately. If you already have YouTube TV’s Sports + News Plan or the main base plan, subscribing to Fox One adds no content you don’t already have — it would be redundant. Fox One as an add-on makes sense mainly for people who want the Fox One exclusive features (like multi-screen viewing with up to four live events simultaneously or the creator-hosted World Cup viewing option) beyond what YouTube TV’s standard Fox channels offer.
