Fox Sports en Español · Fox Deportes · All Ways to Watch in Spanish
Whether you want Fox Deportes on cable, the Fox Sports app in Spanish, or the cheapest way to stream games in Spanish right now, this guide covers it all — clearly, without technical jargon.
📡 Fox Sports in Spanish — The Short Version
Fox Sports does not broadcast entirely in Spanish on its main channels (FOX, FS1, FS2) — those are English. The Spanish-language home of Fox Sports is Fox Deportes, a separate cable channel launched in 1993, making it the first and longest-running Spanish-language sports network in the United States. It carries Liga MX, NFL games, MLB, NASCAR, MLS, and major international tournaments — all in Spanish. You can get it through cable, satellite, or several streaming services starting as low as $14.99 a month. Separately, many standard Fox Sports broadcasts also include a hidden Spanish audio track you can turn on with your TV’s SAP (Secondary Audio Program) button — no extra subscription needed. This guide explains both paths, plus how to fix it when Fox accidentally plays in Spanish when you wanted English.

What is Fox Deportes — is it the same as Fox Sports? Fox Deportes is Fox Sports’ dedicated Spanish-language channel · Not the same as FS1 or FOX · Owned by Fox Corporation · Over 30 years on airFox Deportes is Fox’s Spanish-language sports network, separate from FS1, FS2, and the main FOX broadcast channel. It originally launched in 1993 under the name La Cadena Deportiva Prime Ticket, went through several name changes, and became Fox Deportes in 2010. While FS1 carries the English commentary for events like NFL Sunday games and college football, Fox Deportes airs Spanish-language commentary for many of those same events — plus Liga MX soccer, MLB games, MLS, NASCAR, and more. It is a pay-TV channel, meaning it requires a cable, satellite, or streaming subscription to access. You cannot get it over the air with an antenna.

How do I find Fox Deportes on my TV right now? DirecTV: channel 465 · Xfinity: channel 608 or 1218 (varies by area) · Dish Network: DishLATINO package · Spectrum: check local guide · Search “Fox Deportes” in your TV guideChannel numbers for Fox Deportes vary depending on your provider and even your city. On DirecTV, it sits at channel 465. Xfinity subscribers typically find it around channel 608 or 1218, though this shifts by region. If you are on Dish Network, Fox Deportes is part of the DishLATINO package rather than the standard English lineup — you may need to add or switch packages. On Spectrum, your fastest option is to press the Guide button on your remote and type “Fox Deportes” in the channel search bar. If the channel does not appear in your guide at all, it usually means your current package does not include it and you will need to add a Spanish-language tier through your provider’s app or by calling customer service.

Can I watch Fox Sports in Spanish without cable? Yes — Fubo Latino: $14.99–$19.99/mo (includes Fox Deportes, ESPN Deportes, beIN Sports) · DirecTV MiEspañol: $34.99/mo · YouTube TV with Spanish Plus add-on: $82.99 + $14.99/mo · Fox One app: $19.99/moCutting cable does not mean losing Fox Deportes. The most affordable option is Fubo’s Latino plan, which bundles Fox Deportes with more than 50 Spanish-language networks — including ESPN Deportes, TUDN, and beIN Sports — for around $14.99 to $19.99 a month with no long-term contract.

Why is Fox Sports suddenly playing in Spanish on my TV? Your TV’s SAP (Secondary Audio Program) got switched — it happens by accident · Fix it: press the SAP, AUDIO, or MTS button on your remote · No subscription change or call to your cable company neededFox broadcasts two separate audio tracks on its main channels: an English track and a Spanish track. If your TV is playing sports commentary in Spanish on FOX, FS1, or FS2 when you expected English, it almost always means the SAP (Secondary Audio Program) setting was accidentally switched — sometimes by sitting on the remote, sometimes by a grandchild pressing buttons. The fix takes under a minute: look for a button on your remote labeled SAP, AUDIO, MTS, or a speaker icon. Press it once or twice to cycle back to the English audio track. If your remote does not have a labeled button, go into your TV’s Settings menu, then Audio or Language, and look for “Secondary Audio” or “Audio Language” — switch it back to English. The cable company cannot fix this for you; only the setting on your TV or remote controls it.

🔍 Your Situation — Which Option Is Right for You?
My TV is playing Fox Sports in Spanish and I didn’t ask for that — how do I fix it?
FIX SAP AUDIO
This is the most common Fox Sports “in Spanish” problem — and the fix takes under two minutes. Your television has a feature called SAP (Secondary Audio Program) that switches between the English and Spanish audio tracks FOX broadcasts simultaneously. Somebody (or an accidental remote button press) switched it to Spanish. Here is how to fix it depending on your setup:
On most TV remotes: Press the button labeled SAP, AUDIO, MTS, or a speaker icon. Press it once — if the language doesn’t switch, press it again. It cycles through the available audio tracks.
Through your TV’s Settings menu: Go to Settings → Audio (sometimes called “Sound”) → Audio Language or Secondary Audio → switch to English. On Samsung TVs look for “Sound Mode.” On LG, look under “Audio Language.” On Vizio, go to Menu → Audio → SAP.
Through your cable box: Press the Options or Info button on your remote while a show is playing. Some cable boxes show audio track options right on screen. Look for “English Audio” or “Primary Audio” and select it.
The cable company, FOX, and your internet provider cannot fix this for you — it is entirely controlled by the audio setting on your TV or cable box. Once you change it back to English, it should stay that way unless someone changes it again.

I want to watch Fox Sports (NFL, baseball, soccer) in Spanish — what is the cheapest way?
CHEAPEST OPTION
The most affordable way to get live Fox Deportes in your home right now is Fubo’s Latino plan. At $14.99 to $19.99 a month — with a 5-day free trial and a promotional first month as low as $9.99 during the World Cup — it gives you Fox Deportes alongside ESPN Deportes, TUDN, beIN Sports, and more than 50 other Spanish-language channels. No contract, cancel anytime. The plan includes unlimited cloud DVR so you can record games you will miss while running errands, and you can watch on up to two screens at once — useful if one TV is in the bedroom and one is in the living room.
If you already have cable and just want to add Fox Deportes to your existing package, call your cable provider and ask about adding a “Latino tier” or “Spanish-language sports package.” Xfinity, Spectrum, and Cox all offer these as add-ons to existing subscriptions, sometimes for as little as $5–$10 extra a month. Ask specifically whether Fox Deportes is included before agreeing to the upgrade.

I want Fox Deportes on my Roku, Fire Stick, or smart TV — how do I set it up?

Fox Deportes does not have its own standalone app — you access it through a streaming service that carries it. The easiest setup for a Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, or smart TV (Samsung, LG, Vizio) is to download the Fubo app and subscribe to the Latino plan. The Fubo app is free to install on all of those devices and the subscription is managed through the app or fubo.tv. Once you log in, Fox Deportes appears as a live channel in the channel guide alongside the other 50+ Spanish-language channels in the Latino plan.
For the Tubi app (also free to download on all the same devices), you can find Fox Sports en Español content in the live TV section — no login or credit card required. This gives you on-demand games and Liga MX highlights in Spanish at zero cost.
If you already have a DirecTV streaming subscription, download the DirecTV app on your device and log in — Fox Deportes will be in the Spanish-language channel section. The same applies to YouTube TV subscribers who have added the Spanish Plus add-on.

I have cable but Fox Deportes isn’t in my guide — what do I do?
CABLE SUBSCRIBERS
If Fox Deportes is not showing up in your cable guide, you almost certainly need to add or upgrade your package — it is not available on basic cable tiers. Here is how to handle it with the main providers:
Xfinity: Fox Deportes is typically on channel 608 or 1218. If it doesn’t appear, log into your Xfinity account online and look for Spanish or Latino channel add-ons. You can also call 1-800-XFINITY and ask to add “Fox Deportes” specifically.
Spectrum: Press Guide on your remote, then search “Fox Deportes.” If the channel shows as locked (🔒), you need to add a Spanish or International sports tier. Call Spectrum at 1-833-267-6094 and ask about adding Fox Deportes to your package.
Dish Network: Fox Deportes is part of the DishLATINO package, not the standard English lineup. You may need to switch to a DishLATINO plan or ask about adding it as an add-on.
Tip: Before calling, check your provider’s website or app — most cable companies now let you add channel packages online in under two minutes without holding on the phone.

✅ 5-Step Checklist — Getting Fox Sports in Spanish
- Step 1 — Is it an accidental SAP setting? If Fox Sports suddenly started playing in Spanish and you didn’t change anything, press SAP, AUDIO, or MTS on your remote to switch back to English. This fixes the problem 90% of the time and takes under a minute.
- Step 2 — Check if you already have Fox Deportes. Press Guide on your remote and search “Fox Deportes.” If it appears in your channel list without a lock icon, you already have it — note the channel number and you’re done.
- Step 3 — Try Tubi for free first. Download the free Tubi app on your TV or streaming device and search “Fox Sports en Español” — you may find plenty of Liga MX and sports content at no cost before committing to a subscription.
- Step 4 — Start a free trial if you want live Fox Deportes. Fubo’s 5-day free trial or DirecTV’s 5-day trial let you watch Fox Deportes live before paying. Cancel before the trial ends and pay nothing.
- Step 5 — World Cup this summer? A $25 indoor antenna picks up Telemundo (92 matches in Spanish) over the air for free in most U.S. cities. Check antennaweb.org with your address before buying any streaming subscription.
