Some Fox Sports content is genuinely free right now β no subscription, no credit card. But FS1 and FS2 always require a paid service. Knowing the difference determines whether you spend $0 or $20 a month. This guide covers every real option, ranked from completely free to cheapest paid.
The FIFA World Cup is the biggest Fox Sports moment in years β 104 matches on Fox and FS1 through July 19. 70 of those matches air free on the Fox broadcast channel with a TV antenna. ESPN and Fox One just launched a combined bundle at $39.99/month β ESPN Unlimited plus all Fox channels including FS1 β saving $10/month versus buying separately. Sling has a $4.99 one-day pass for FS1 if you only need one game. Fox One is offering a 7-day free trial through Amazon Prime.
Fox Sports breaks into two categories with very different costs. The Fox broadcast network β the channel with NFL games on Sundays, the World Series when Fox has it, local news, and 70 of the 104 World Cup matches β is completely free over the air with a TV antenna, and Tubi streams select Fox content free with no account needed. FS1 and FS2 are cable channels that require a paid subscription on any service β there is no permanent free way to watch them live. The cheapest FS1 access is $19.99/month through Fox One or Sling Select, with free trials ranging from a single day ($4.99 Sling day pass) to 7 days through Amazon. The rest of this guide maps every situation to the right path.
Starting from free and working up to affordable paid options. The cheapest monthly route to FS1 has never been lower than it is right now β Fox One and Sling Select both sit at $19.99/month.

Fox Sports (FS1) is not part of standard Amazon Prime membership. However, Prime members can add Fox One as a Prime Video Channel for $19.99/month with a 7-day free trial β the most generous free trial currently available for FS1. Go to Amazon β search “Fox One” β Subscribe β watch FS1 through the Prime Video app. Cancel through your Amazon account before day 7 to pay nothing.
The searches people do about watching Fox Sports for free all come from the same underlying situation: they want to watch something specific β a World Cup match, an NFL game, a NASCAR race β and want to know the cheapest or freest way to see it. Here are the direct answers.

Can you stream Fox Sports for free? Yes for the Fox broadcast channel β TV antenna (free) and Tubi (free, ad-supported) Β· No for live FS1/FS2 β those require a subscription (cheapest: $4.99 one-day Sling pass or $19.99/month ongoing)The answer depends entirely on which part of “Fox Sports” you mean. The Fox broadcast network β where NFL games air on Sundays, where the Super Bowl aired free on Tubi, where 70 of the 104 World Cup matches are, where local sports and news live β is completely free with a TV antenna. A $25β$45 antenna plugged into any television picks it up over the air with no subscription. Tubi, Fox’s own free streaming app, also carries LiveNOW from Fox (a 24/7 breaking news and live events stream), select World Cup matches, and sports highlights at no cost. What is not free: FS1, FS2, and the cable Fox Sports channels. Those require a paid service. The cheapest ongoing path is Fox One at $19.99/month or a $4.99 Sling one-day pass for a single event.

Is Fox Sports now free with Amazon Prime? No β not included with standard Amazon Prime Β· Fox One is available as a paid Prime Video Channel add-on at $19.99/mo Β· 7-day free trial available for new subscribers through Amazon Β· The trial is the closest thing to “free on Amazon Prime”Fox Sports channels, including FS1, do not come with Amazon Prime membership. Amazon Prime gives you Prime Video’s movies and TV shows, free shipping, and other benefits β but not live sports channels. What Amazon does offer: Fox One as an add-on Prime Video Channel at $19.99/month, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. During the trial, FS1, FS2, Fox News, Fox Business, Fox Weather, local Fox affiliates, and Fox broadcast all stream within the Prime Video app on any device Amazon supports β which includes Fire TV, Roku, smart TVs, phones, tablets, and computers. Subscribe to Fox One through Amazon, watch for up to 7 days free, and cancel through your Amazon account before the trial ends. The Fox Nation on-demand library (documentaries, personality specials) launched on Amazon in February as a separate $8.99/month add-on β that is different from Fox One’s live sports content.

Can I stream Fox Sports without a TV provider? Yes β Fox One ($19.99/mo) is the main no-cable, no-satellite route to FS1 Β· Sling Select ($19.99/mo) and Fubo also work without cable Β· For the free Fox broadcast channel: Tubi or a TV antenna require no provider at allThe cable-free era for Fox Sports started with Fox One’s launch in August 2025. Before that, watching FS1 required authenticating through a cable or satellite login. Now you can subscribe directly to Fox One at $19.99/month β no cable company, no installation, no technician visit, no long-term contract β and get live FS1, FS2, and all other Fox channels through an app on your Roku, Fire Stick, Apple TV, smart TV, phone, or tablet. Sling Select at $19.99/month is the other budget-friendly no-cable option, though it doesn’t include local Fox affiliates in most markets. For the free Fox broadcast channel: no provider of any kind is needed. A TV antenna picks up the live local Fox station over the air completely free. Tubi streams select Fox Sports content free on any internet-connected device with no login or cable provider required.

Is there a free app to watch Fox Sports? Tubi β free, no account needed, carries LiveNOW from Fox and select events Β· Fox One app β free to download, $19.99/mo to subscribe, 7-day free trial via Amazon Β· Fox Sports mobile app β free for scores and highlights, not live TV Β· Old Fox Sports TV app shut down in MaySeveral Fox-related apps exist and they are easy to confuse. Tubi is the genuinely free one β Fox Corporation’s free, ad-supported streaming app available on Roku, Fire TV, smart TVs, iPhones, and Android devices. It carries LiveNOW from Fox (a live breaking news stream), select live sporting events during major tournaments, and a library of on-demand sports content. No account required, no credit card. The Fox One app is the new paid app that replaced the Fox Sports TV app for live channel streaming β download it free from any app store, but streaming live FS1 requires an active $19.99/month subscription or active free trial. The Fox Sports mobile app on phones still works for scores, stats, highlights, and short clips β but its live TV streaming function moved to Fox One. The Fox Sports TV app on streaming devices and smart TVs was retired in May 2026.

Fox Sports free trial β how do I use it and how long is it? Fox One via Amazon: 7 days free (best trial) Β· Fubo: 5 days free Β· DirecTV streaming: 5 days free Β· Sling: no trial but $4.99 one-day pass Β· All require credit card β cancel before trial ends to pay nothingFree trials are the most practical way to watch Fox Sports free for a specific event. Fox One’s 7-day trial through Amazon is the best available: go to amazon.com, search “Fox One,” click Subscribe, and enter your payment information. You have 7 full days of live FS1, FS2, Fox News, Fox Business, Fox Weather, local Fox, and Big Ten Network β all through the Prime Video app on any device. Cancel through amazon.com β Account β Memberships before day 7. For a more comprehensive multi-network experience, Fubo’s 5-day free trial at fubo.tv includes Fox, FS1, FS2, ESPN, CBS, NBC, ABC, and 195+ more channels. DirecTV’s 5-day free trial at directv.com also includes FS1 alongside most major sports networks. The key logistics with any free trial: use a calendar reminder for the day before it ends, cancel in the app or website of whichever platform you subscribed through (not Fox’s own site if you went through Amazon or Roku), and know that cancelling stops future charges but lets you keep access through the trial end date.

Fox Sports One β what does it cost and what does it include? Fox One: $19.99/month Β· Annual: $199.99/year (~$16.67/mo) Β· Includes: FS1, FS2, Fox broadcast, Fox News, Fox Business, Fox Weather, Big Ten Network, Fox Deportes, local Fox affiliate Β· ESPN + Fox One bundle: $39.99/moFox One is the app Fox Corporation launched in August 2025 as its replacement for the cable TV model β a standalone streaming service that packages every channel Fox operates for $19.99/month. For sports specifically: FS1 and FS2 carry college football, MLB, NASCAR, UFC Fight Nights, MLS, Liga MX, and the 34 World Cup group-stage matches not on the free Fox broadcast channel. The Big Ten Network covers Big Ten college sports year-round. Fox Deportes carries Spanish-language sports. Your local Fox affiliate streams live through the app, bringing NFL Sunday afternoon games and any Fox primetime sports. Fox One is significantly more sports-complete than the old Fox Sports app was, because it adds Fox News, Fox Weather, and the full Fox One on-demand library at the same price. For viewers who also want ESPN alongside Fox Sports, the ESPN + Fox One bundle at $39.99/month is now available through either ESPN’s or Fox’s websites β saving about $10/month compared to buying both separately.

Tubi Fox Sports β what exactly can I watch for free on Tubi? LiveNOW from FOX: free 24/7 breaking news and live events stream Β· Select World Cup group-stage matches during tournament Β· Fox Sports studio shows and highlight content on-demand Β· Not live FS1 or FS2 programming β those require a paid subscriptionTubi is owned by Fox Corporation and is the most accessible free Fox-adjacent streaming option. The most significant free live content on Tubi right now is LiveNOW from FOX β a continuous live stream of breaking news, live sports events, and unfiltered coverage running 24 hours a day. During the World Cup, Tubi is streaming select group-stage matches at no charge, making it worth checking the Tubi schedule before paying for anything during the tournament. Beyond live events, Tubi carries a library of Fox Sports documentary content, classic sports broadcasts, studio show clips, and highlight packages that can be watched on demand at no cost. What Tubi does not carry: the live FS1 or FS2 channel feed. A Tubi viewer does not see live college football, live NASCAR, live baseball, or live UFC in the way an FS1 subscriber does β Tubi’s live sports are event-specific and limited. Think of Tubi as a free supplement, not a full replacement for a sports subscription.
