💰 Pricing & Plans

Month-to-Month: $8.99/month (auto-renews each month)

Annual Plan: $71.49/year — roughly $5.96/month (best regular price)

Promotional Deals: As low as $1.99–$2.99/month billed annually when a sale is running

Fox Nation’s standard monthly rate is $8.99, charged automatically each month. If you know you’ll be a regular viewer, the annual plan at $71.49/year works out cheaper. Fox Nation also runs seasonal promotions that can slash the price dramatically — sometimes as low as $1.99/month (billed as one annual lump sum). Prices are subject to change, so always check foxnation.com for the latest offer before you sign up.

If you see a great promotional price, grab it — but read the fine print. After the promotional period ends, the subscription automatically renews at the full annual rate unless you cancel at least 24 hours in advance.

The standard annual plan is $71.49 per year. That breaks down to about $5.96 per month — roughly $36 less per year than paying month-to-month at $8.99. The subscription fee is billed in full when you sign up, so you pay for the whole year upfront.

During promotional sales, Fox Nation has offered annual plans as low as $23.88/year ($1.99/month) or $35.88/year ($2.99/month). These deals are time-limited, so act fast when you see them.

If you primarily watch Fox Nation for one or two shows, consider starting with the monthly plan first so you can cancel easily if you decide it’s not for you.

Each Fox Nation promotional offer — including the deeply discounted annual deals — may be redeemed only once per person or account. The offer is also valid for a limited time only, is subject to change without notice, and cannot be combined with any other discount or promotional offer.

This means if you already redeemed a deal in a previous year, you generally cannot use the same promo again. However, Fox Nation has historically made certain deals available to both new and returning subscribers, so it’s worth checking the current offer terms at foxnation.com.

Read the offer details carefully before checkout. The terms clearly state whether the deal is for “new subscribers only” or open to returning ones too.

As of February 17, 2026, Fox Nation launched as an official add-on channel on Amazon Prime Video. The pricing through Prime Video is:

Fox Nation only (Prime Video add-on): $8.99/month or $71.88/year

Fox Nation + Fox One bundle (Prime Video): $24.99/month

The Fox Nation Prime Video add-on gives you access to over 10,000 hours of original series, documentaries, and specials — the same full library available directly through foxnation.com. The bundle option adds Fox One (live FOX News, FOX Sports, and entertainment channels) to the package.

If you’re already an Amazon Prime member, adding Fox Nation through Prime Video is very convenient — one login, one billing statement. Just search “Fox Nation” in the Prime Video app to subscribe.

Fox One alone: $19.99/month or $199.99/year

Fox Nation alone: $8.99/month or $71.49/year (direct) / $71.88/year (via Prime Video)

Fox One + Fox Nation bundle: $24.99/month or ~$239.88/year

Fox One is a newer streaming service from FOX that carries live FOX News 24/7, FOX Sports, FOX Business, FOX Weather, local FOX stations, and entertainment channels. Bundling it with Fox Nation saves you money compared to subscribing to both separately. The bundle is available through the Fox One website or as a Prime Video add-on.

If watching live Fox News (not just on-demand clips) is important to you, the bundle is the most cost-effective way to get both Fox Nation exclusives AND live news together.
🎁 Free Access Options

Fox Nation is not free to the general public — it is a paid subscription service. However, there are three legitimate ways to access Fox Nation at no charge:

  1. Free Trial: Fox Nation periodically offers free trials (commonly 7 to 30 days) to new subscribers. You will need to enter a credit card, but you won’t be charged if you cancel before the trial period ends.
  2. Military & Veterans: Active-duty service members and veterans can receive one full year of Fox Nation at no cost after verifying their status through SheerID at try.nation.foxnews.com/military.
  3. First Responders: Police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) may also qualify for free access. Check nation.foxnews.com for the current first responder offer.
If you qualify for the military or first responder offer, take advantage of it — a full free year is worth up to $71.49 in savings.

No — Fox Nation is a paid add-on to Amazon Prime Video at $8.99/month or $71.88/year. Having an Amazon Prime membership alone does not include Fox Nation content. You must separately subscribe to Fox Nation as a channel add-on through the Prime Video app or website.

That said, Amazon Prime Video occasionally offers free trials on channel add-ons for new subscribers, so check if a trial promotion is currently available when you go to add Fox Nation.

📺 Using Fox Nation

Fox Nation is a subscription streaming service from Fox News Media, launched in 2018. It is designed as a members-only destination featuring content that goes beyond the regular Fox News Channel broadcast. The library includes over 10,000 hours of content across many categories:

  • Faith-based programming and American history documentaries
  • True crime series and investigative journalism
  • Original shows hosted by Sean Hannity, Greg Gutfeld, Bret Baier, Brian Kilmeade, and Ainsley Earhardt
  • Celebrity-hosted programs featuring Kevin Costner, Kim Kardashian, Rob Lowe, Matthew McConaughey, Dennis Quaid, and others
  • The platform’s most-watched series: Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints
  • Exclusive new seasons of Cops
  • Lifestyle, travel, and patriotic specials
  • Next-day access to Fox News primetime episodes (Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, and more)

Fox Nation has grown to over 2 million subscribers as of early 2026. All content is commercial-free for subscribers.

The Fox Nation app works on a wide range of devices. You can stream it on:

📱 iPhone & iPad (iOS) 📱 Android Phone & Tablet 📺 Roku 📺 Amazon Fire TV 📺 Apple TV 📺 Google TV / Android TV 📺 Samsung Smart TV 📺 Vizio Smart TV 📺 LG Smart TV 🎮 Xbox One 💻 Web Browser (foxnation.com) 📺 FuboTV

If you have Amazon Prime Video, you can also access Fox Nation directly within the Prime Video app — no need for a separate Fox Nation app download.

For the easiest TV experience, Roku and Amazon Fire TV sticks are among the simplest devices for seniors to set up. Many are available for under $30 at major retailers.

Signing in to Fox Nation is straightforward. Here’s how:

  1. Open the Fox Nation app on your device, or go to foxnation.com in your web browser.
  2. Click or tap the “Sign In” button, usually in the top right corner.
  3. Enter the email address and password you used when you created your Fox Nation account.
  4. If you subscribed through Amazon Prime Video, you use the same Fox Nation email address to log in through either the Fox Nation app or the FOX One app.

If you forgot your password, click “Forgot Password” on the sign-in page and Fox Nation will send a reset link to your email.

⚙️ Managing Your Subscription

Yes — Fox Nation allows you to cancel at any time, and you do not need to call anyone. Here’s how to cancel:

  1. Sign in to your account at foxnation.com.
  2. Go to “My Account” (top right corner).
  3. Click “Cancel Plan.”
  4. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your cancellation.

If you subscribed through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, Amazon, or another platform, you must cancel through that same platform — not through foxnation.com.

After canceling, you keep access to Fox Nation for the remainder of the time you’ve already paid for. Subscription fees are generally non-refundable, but Fox Nation does consider refunds on a case-by-case basis through their chat support.

If you’re on an annual plan and want to avoid being charged for another year, cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date. Set a reminder on your phone or calendar!

Not entirely — and this is an important distinction. A standard Fox Nation subscription gives you:

  • ✅ Next-day on-demand access to primetime Fox News shows (Hannity, Jesse Watters, Laura Ingraham, Greg Gutfeld, and others)
  • ✅ Some limited Fox News show content on-demand
  • ❌ NOT a live, 24/7 Fox News Channel stream — for that, you need a TV provider login or a separate subscription

To watch Fox News Channel live, you need either a cable/satellite provider or the newer Fox One streaming service ($19.99/month), which includes live Fox News. The Fox Nation + Fox One bundle at $24.99/month is the most affordable way to get both.
