Does Paramount Plus Have Fox Sports?

Budget Seniors, June 19, 2026June 19, 2026

Paramount+ Β· Fox Sports Β· FS1 Β· Live Sports Β· Plans & What’s Really Inside

Fox Sports, FS1, and FS2 are not on Paramount Plus β€” but the full picture is more useful than a simple no. This guide covers what live sports Paramount+ actually has, what Fox Sports subscription options exist, and which streaming service makes sense depending on what you actually watch.

πŸ””
Big Changes β€” Paramount+ Is Merging with HBO Max

Paramount Skydance is acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery, and Paramount+ and HBO Max are set to merge into one app, expected to close around late 2026. Meanwhile, Paramount+ is now the exclusive U.S. home of all UFC events (no extra PPV charge). Fox Sports, however, remains entirely separate β€” its own standalone service, Fox One, launched in August 2025. The ESPN + Fox One bundle has also been announced as a new option for sports fans who need both Fox and ESPN under one subscription.

πŸ“‘ The One-Paragraph Answer

Paramount Plus does not carry Fox Sports, FS1, FS2, Fox News, Fox Business, or any Fox-branded channel. The two companies β€” Fox Corporation and Paramount β€” are separate, competing media conglomerates with no content-sharing agreement. Paramount+ is built around CBS-owned content: NFL games on CBS, UEFA Champions League soccer, UFC (as of 2026), March Madness, and Showtime. Fox Sports content lives on Fox One, Fox’s own streaming service ($19.99/month), and on live TV packages like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and Fubo. If you subscribed to Paramount+ hoping to get FS1 or the World Cup on Fox β€” you will need a different service for that. The good news: the options are cheaper than most people expect.

πŸ“‹ Key Questions β€” Answered Directly

A lot of the confusion here comes from the sheer number of streaming options, overlapping sports rights, and the fact that both Paramount+ and Fox Sports have been going through major changes at the same time. The questions below cover the situations people are actually searching for.

  • 1
    Does Paramount Plus stream Fox Sports? No β€” Fox Sports, FS1, and FS2 are not available on Paramount Plus at any plan level Β· Paramount+ and Fox Corporation are separate companies with no content agreement
    This is the most important thing to know before subscribing: Paramount Plus and Fox Sports are run by different companies that do not share programming. Paramount+ is built around CBS Sports, which means you get NFL games that air on CBS, the UEFA Champions League, March Madness basketball, and now UFC. Fox Sports content β€” including FS1, FS2, Big Ten Network football, NASCAR, the World Cup on Fox, and college football on Fox β€” requires either a live TV streaming service like YouTube TV or Fubo, or Fox’s own standalone app Fox One. No plan tier on Paramount+ β€” not Essential at $8.99/month, not Premium at $13.99/month β€” includes any Fox Sports channel. This has been true since Paramount+ launched and has not changed.

    Where can you watch Fox Sports if not on Paramount+? Fox One standalone app: $19.99/month Β· YouTube TV Sports Plan: $64.99/month Β· Fubo: ~$56/month Β· Hulu + Live TV: $89.99/month Β· Sling Select: $19.99/month (limited markets) Β· ESPN + Fox One bundle coming
    Fox Sports content is available through several paths, at very different price points. The cheapest is Fox One β€” Fox Corporation’s own direct streaming app, launched in August 2025 β€” at $19.99/month. It includes FS1, FS2, Fox News, Fox Business, Fox Weather, Big Ten Network, Fox Deportes, and your local Fox affiliate. Fox One is where the Fox Sports app’s TV functionality moved in May 2026 when that app was retired. The Fox One mobile app still works on phones and tablets. For viewers who also want ESPN, NBC, or CBS sports alongside FS1, a live TV streaming service is the better value: YouTube TV’s Sports Plan ($64.99/month for existing subscribers, $54.99 for new users for the first year) covers essentially every major sports channel. Fubo is another strong sports-first option. An ESPN + Fox One bundle has been publicly confirmed as an upcoming product β€” watch for it if you specifically want Fox and ESPN without paying for a full channel package.

    Is Fox part of Paramount Plus? No β€” Fox Corporation and Paramount Global (now Paramount Skydance) are entirely separate companies Β· They compete directly in news, sports, and entertainment Β· No shared channels, no shared content
    It is easy to confuse the names because both “Fox” and “Paramount” have decades of Hollywood history and both operate major television networks. But they are separate publicly traded companies. Fox Corporation β€” which owns Fox News, FS1, the Fox broadcast network, and Fox One β€” has no ownership or programming relationship with Paramount. Paramount (now merged with Skydance and in the process of acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery) owns CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, Showtime, and Paramount+. The confusion is compounded by the fact that both services carry NFL games β€” but on different days. Paramount+/CBS has Sunday afternoon NFL games and some Thursday Night Football. Fox broadcast has Sunday NFC games and is one of the NFL’s oldest partners. The games look similar but stream through completely different apps on completely different subscriptions.

    What live sports does Paramount Plus actually have? NFL on CBS (all games that air on your local CBS station) Β· UFC β€” all events, no PPV fee Β· UEFA Champions League & Europa League soccer Β· NCAA basketball including March Madness Β· NWSL women’s soccer Β· Serie A Β· Rugby World events
    Despite not having Fox Sports, Paramount+ has built a genuinely strong sports lineup that is often underestimated. The NFL package through CBS is the headline β€” every regular-season game that airs on your local CBS affiliate streams live on Paramount+, which is one of the best deals in streaming at $8.99/month for Essential. The UEFA Champions League is the other marquee property: every English-language UCL match streams on Paramount+, and CBS Sports holds those rights through 2030. The biggest addition for sports fans is UFC β€” Paramount+ became the exclusive U.S. home of all UFC events starting January 2026 under a 7-year, $7.7 billion deal. Every numbered event and every Fight Night is included in a standard Paramount+ subscription with no extra pay-per-view charge. For MMA fans who were paying $80–$90 per UFC PPV on ESPN+, this is a significant financial shift. College football fans should note the limitations: CBS carries Big Ten games and some rivalry games, and those stream on Paramount+ Premium, but Fox-carried Big Noon games, FS1 games, and most other conferences do not appear on Paramount+.
  • 5
    Is Fox on Peacock or Paramount Plus? Neither β€” Fox is not on Peacock or Paramount Plus Β· Peacock carries NBC content (not Fox) Β· Paramount+ carries CBS content (not Fox) Β· Fox channels require Fox One, YouTube TV, Fubo, Hulu Live TV, or Sling
    This is a common source of confusion because Peacock (NBC’s streaming service) and Paramount+ (CBS’s streaming service) both carry sports, and people sometimes assume one of them carries Fox content too. They don’t β€” each of the four major broadcast networks runs its own streaming ecosystem. ABC/ESPN content goes to Disney+/ESPN. CBS content goes to Paramount+. NBC content goes to Peacock. Fox content goes to Fox One. None of them cross-carry the others’ broadcast or cable channels. Where things get complicated is that live TV streaming packages β€” YouTube TV, Fubo, Hulu Live TV, DirecTV, Sling β€” carry all four broadcast networks plus most major cable channels in one subscription. If you want Fox Sports, CBS Sports, NBC Sports, and ESPN all in one place, a live TV streaming package is the most practical solution. Just having Peacock and Paramount+ without one of those packages means you’re missing ABC/ESPN and Fox entirely.

    What is the Paramount Plus live sports schedule? NFL Sundays on CBS (Sep–Jan) Β· UFC events year-round (no PPV) Β· UEFA Champions League (Sep–May) Β· March Madness (March) Β· NWSL matches Β· Serie A Β· World Rugby events
    Paramount+ essentially runs on two sports calendars that overlap without much gap. Fall and winter belongs to the NFL and college football on CBS, plus UFC events every few weeks. Spring belongs to the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds, which build toward the final in late May. Year-round there are Serie A matches from Italy’s top soccer league, NWSL women’s professional soccer, and various international soccer events under the CBS Sports rights portfolio including the Concacaf Women’s Champions Cup. UFC, added in 2026, fills in the sports calendar consistently β€” there are 13 major numbered events and 30 Fight Night events annually, spread across nearly every weekend. The CBS Sports HQ channel available within Paramount+ runs 24/7 sports news, highlights, and studio programming at no extra charge. One channel notably absent: CBS Sports Network, the cable channel that carries college sports and other live events β€” that requires a cable subscription or a live TV streaming package, not just Paramount+.

    Does Hulu have Fox Sports? Hulu on-demand (base app, $7.99–$17.99/mo): No Fox Sports Β· Hulu + Live TV ($89.99/mo): Yes β€” includes local Fox, FS1, FS2, Fox News, and Fox Business as part of the channel bundle
    Hulu divides into two very different products that share a name. The basic Hulu on-demand service ($7.99/month with ads) is a streaming library β€” movies, TV shows, and a small number of live news channels. It does not include Fox Sports or FS1. Hulu + Live TV is a completely separate product at $89.99/month that includes a full live channel lineup β€” Fox, FS1, FS2, Fox News, ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, and 90+ other channels. Think of it like a cable replacement. If someone tells you “I watch Fox Sports on Hulu,” they almost certainly have Hulu + Live TV, not the base Hulu app. Hulu + Live TV is one of the most comprehensive live TV streaming options available but it is also one of the more expensive, at $89.99/month β€” roughly $18 more per month than YouTube TV’s base plan and about $33 more than Fubo. Its main advantage is the bundle with Disney+ and ESPN+, which comes included with the subscription.

    What streaming service has Fox Sports for the cheapest price? Fox One standalone: $19.99/month β€” cheapest direct path to FS1, FS2, and local Fox Β· Sling Select: $19.99/month β€” FS1 only in select markets Β· YouTube TV Sports Plan: $54.99/month new subscribers (first year) for broader coverage
    The cheapest way to get FS1 and the full Fox Sports lineup depends on what else you want alongside it. If Fox channels are your only priority, Fox One at $19.99/month is the most cost-efficient option β€” it covers FS1, FS2, Fox News, Fox Business, Fox Weather, Big Ten Network, Fox Deportes, and your local Fox broadcast channel. Sling Select also offers FS1 at $19.99/month but local Fox availability depends on your market and coverage is less consistent. For viewers who want Fox Sports alongside other major sports channels (ESPN, NBC, CBS), YouTube TV’s Sports Plan at $54.99/month for new subscribers for the first year is the best overall value β€” it covers nearly every sports channel worth having. The key thing to check before subscribing to any service: confirm your local Fox affiliate is available in your ZIP code. Some rural and smaller markets have gaps in local channel coverage on streaming services.
πŸ’° Paramount Plus Plans β€” What’s Included at Each Price

Paramount+ simplified its plan structure in January 2026. There are now two tiers. Neither includes Fox Sports, FS1, or any Fox channel β€” but both include a strong live sports lineup built around CBS.

Plan Price/Month Fox Sports NFL on CBS UFC Champions League
Essential (with ads) $8.99Annual: $89.99/yr Β· Walmart+ bundle available ✘ Not included βœ” Yes βœ” Yes βœ” Yes
Premium (ad-free) Best Value $13.99Annual: $139.99/yr Β· Includes full Showtime library Β· 4K streaming ✘ Not included βœ” Yes + live local CBS feed βœ” Yes βœ” Yes Β· ad-free
⚠️ No Free Trial β€” Paramount+ Ended Trials in January 2026

Paramount+ quietly phased out its free trial for direct sign-ups starting January 2026. The only current way to try the service without paying immediately is through the Walmart+ bundle ($12.95/month), which includes Paramount+ Essential and comes with a 30-day free trial. If you shop at Walmart regularly, this is effectively the cheapest way to get Paramount+ with a trial attached.

πŸ“Š Paramount+ vs. Your Fox Sports Options β€” At a Glance
🎬 Paramount+ Essential
$8.99/mo
NFL on CBS, UFC (all events), UEFA Champions League, March Madness, NWSL, Serie A. No Fox Sports, FS1, or FS2. Strong value if CBS sports fit your schedule.
🦊 Fox One (Standalone)
$19.99/mo
FS1, FS2, Fox broadcast, Fox News, Fox Business, Fox Weather, Big Ten Network. No CBS, no ESPN, no NBC. Best if Fox channels are your only priority.
🏈 YouTube TV Sports Plan
$64.99/mo
Fox, FS1, FS2, ESPN, CBS, NBC, ABC, NFL Network, NBA TV, Big Ten Network. Best all-in-one for multi-network sports fans. New subscribers: $54.99/mo first year.
⚽ Fubo Sports + News
~$56/mo
Fox, FS1, FS2, plus heavy international soccer coverage and 200+ channels. Good Paramount+ alternative. 5-day free trial. Carries all 104 World Cup matches.
πŸ” Real Situations β€” Exactly What to Do
I have Paramount Plus and I want to watch the FIFA World Cup on Fox β€” what are my options?
WORLD CUP Β· FOX
Your Paramount+ subscription does not include the 2026 FIFA World Cup β€” that is exclusively on Fox and FS1, with Spanish coverage on Telemundo and Peacock. To watch World Cup matches in English, you need either Fox One ($19.99/month, covers all 104 games), YouTube TV’s Sports Plan (all 104 games, $54.99/month for new subscribers for the first year), Fubo, or Hulu + Live TV. If you want to try before paying, Fox’s free streaming service Tubi is showing select opening-round matches at no cost. For Spanish-language viewers, Peacock carries all 104 matches in Spanish for $7.99–$10.99/month and is the cheapest paid route to every game. A TV antenna is also worth considering: 69 of the 104 matches air on the free Fox broadcast network, which an antenna can receive at no monthly cost. Since you already have Paramount+, your most economical choice is to add Fox One at $19.99/month just for the tournament, then cancel when it ends β€” there is no contract and no cancellation fee.
⚽ Free matches: Tubi (select games, no sign-up needed) πŸ“‘ Free with antenna: 69 of 104 games on Fox broadcast πŸ’° Cheapest English: Fox One β€” $19.99/mo Β· cancel after tournament 🌎 Cheapest all 104 games: Peacock in Spanish β€” $7.99/mo
I watch NFL football β€” should I have Paramount Plus, Fox One, or both?
NFL FANS
NFL games are split between networks β€” and no single streaming service covers all of them. CBS and Fox share Sunday afternoon games (CBS has NFC games on Sunday; Fox has AFC games). Paramount+ streams every CBS-aired NFL game live, so if your team mostly plays on CBS, Paramount+ Essential at $8.99/month is exceptional value. Fox games (Sunday NFC games including most NFC team matchups) require either Fox One or a live TV package. NBC has Sunday Night Football, ESPN/ABC has Monday Night Football, and Amazon Prime Video has Thursday Night Football β€” none of those appear on Paramount+ or Fox One. For most fans whose team plays across multiple networks throughout the season, a live TV streaming service like YouTube TV is simpler than trying to piece together individual apps. For casual fans who only want to watch their team’s games, checking which network broadcasts the most of your team’s games and subscribing to just that service often works well and saves money.
🏈 CBS Sunday games: Paramount+ β€” $8.99/mo 🦊 Fox Sunday games: Fox One β€” $19.99/mo 🏈 All networks + Sunday Ticket: YouTube TV β€” $64.99/mo + add-on πŸ“± Mobile only (all games): NFL+ β€” $6.99/mo
I want to watch UFC. Is Paramount Plus worth getting for that?
UFC Β· MMA FANS
For UFC fans, Paramount+ is now one of the best deals in sports streaming β€” period. Starting January 2026, Paramount+ became the exclusive U.S. home of all UFC events under a 7-year deal. That means every numbered event (like UFC 300-level main cards) and every UFC Fight Night β€” 43 live events per year total β€” are included in a standard Paramount+ subscription at no additional pay-per-view charge. Before this deal, individual UFC PPVs cost $79.99 each on ESPN+. At 13 numbered events per year alone, that was over $1,000 annually. Paramount+ Premium at $13.99/month ($167.88/year) includes all of it. Select major UFC events are also simulcast on CBS. The catch: UFC content exclusively means the Fox Sports channels are not part of this β€” FS1 and FS2, which carry other combat sports and general sports programming, are not on Paramount+. If you want both UFC and general Fox Sports content, you’d need Paramount+ plus Fox One, which together come to roughly $34/month β€” still far less than the old ESPN+ PPV model.
πŸ₯Š All UFC events: Paramount+ Essential β€” $8.99/mo (no PPV fees) πŸ’° Old cost: $79.99 per PPV on ESPN+ Β· Now all included πŸ“Ί Major events also on CBS broadcast β€” free over antenna 🦊 Also want FS1? Add Fox One β€” $19.99/mo on top
I want Fox Sports, CBS Sports, and ESPN all in one place without juggling apps β€” what’s the solution?
ALL-IN-ONE SPORTS
A live TV streaming service is the cleanest solution β€” one app, one bill, all the major sports channels. YouTube TV’s Sports Plan at $64.99/month (new subscribers: $54.99 for the first year) is the most popular all-sports option and covers Fox, FS1, FS2, ESPN, ABC, CBS, NBC, Big Ten Network, NFL Network, NBA TV, SEC Network, and more. Fubo runs a comparable channel lineup and is currently offering promotional pricing. For viewers who specifically want Fox and ESPN without paying for a full package, the ESPN + Fox One bundle has been announced and is coming β€” watch for it, as it will likely run $25–$35/month and cover just those two ecosystems. One thing to clarify before subscribing to anything: if you already have Paramount+ for CBS sports and UFC, a separate YouTube TV subscription will include Paramount Network (the cable channel) but not the Paramount+ streaming app itself. Those are two different things with similar names. Your Paramount+ login stays separate from any live TV package.
πŸ“¦ Everything in one app: YouTube TV Sports Plan β€” $64.99/mo πŸ“¦ Sports-heavy alternative: Fubo β€” ~$56/mo Β· 5-day trial πŸ”œ Coming soon: ESPN + Fox One bundle β€” watch for pricing ⚠️ Paramount Network β‰  Paramount+ β€” different products, different apps
Paramount Plus is merging with HBO Max β€” what does that mean for sports fans?
MERGER NEWS Β· WHAT CHANGES
The Paramount Skydance acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery β€” and the planned merger of Paramount+ and HBO Max into one app β€” is expected to close around late 2026, and it will be the biggest streaming consolidation since Disney acquired Hulu. For sports fans, the combined platform would bring together CBS sports rights (NFL, UFC, UEFA Champions League), WBD sports rights (NBA starting October 2026 under a new 11-year deal, NHL, MLB, Big 12 conference), and the entire HBO Max entertainment catalog. That combination would be one of the strongest live sports lineups of any streaming service β€” still without Fox Sports channels, but covering a large share of what most fans actually watch. Your current Paramount+ subscription, billing, and login are expected to continue working during the transition. Subscribers who pay through Hulu, Amazon, or their cable provider will not see those billing relationships change. Fox Sports will not be part of the merged service β€” Fox Corporation is a completely separate company not involved in the Paramount-WBD deal.
πŸ”œ Merger target: late 2026 Β· Paramount+ + HBO Max = one app πŸ€ New sports added: NBA on WBD starting Oct. 2026 πŸ”’ Your subscription: billing and login continue as normal 🦊 Fox Sports: NOT part of merger β€” separate company entirely

βœ… 5 Things to Know Before You Subscribe or Switch
  • Paramount+ does not have Fox Sports β€” and that will not change. Fox Corporation and Paramount are separate companies. No plan, no add-on, and no bundle within Paramount+ includes FS1, FS2, or any Fox channel.
  • For Fox Sports, Fox One at $19.99/month is the cheapest direct option. It includes FS1, FS2, Fox News, Fox Weather, Big Ten Network, and your local Fox affiliate. Cancel anytime β€” no contract.
  • Paramount+ is genuinely good value for CBS sports and UFC. At $8.99/month for Essential, you get NFL on CBS, all UFC events (no PPV fees), UEFA Champions League, and March Madness. Hard to beat that combination at that price.
  • Paramount+ and HBO Max are merging β€” but your subscription keeps working. The combined service is expected around late 2026. WBD’s NBA rights (starting October 2026) will eventually be part of the same app as your current Paramount+ login.
  • A TV antenna is the overlooked free option for local Fox. A $25–$50 antenna gives you your local Fox affiliate for free β€” no monthly fees, no carriage disputes. For NFL on Fox and major World Cup matches, it works as well as any streaming service.

Pricing, plan availability, and channel lineups are set by Paramount and Fox Corporation and change frequently. The Paramount–WBD merger is pending regulatory approval as of the date of this publication β€” merger timelines and final terms may shift. Always verify current pricing and channel availability at paramountplus.com and fox.com/foxone before subscribing. This page has no affiliation with Paramount, Fox Corporation, YouTube TV, or any streaming service mentioned.
