The Fox News channel number is 360 on DIRECTV, 205 on DISH, 118 (or 618 in HD) on Verizon Fios and 210 (or 1210 in HD) on AT&T U-verse, according to each provider’s own lineup. On Xfinity, Spectrum and most other cable systems, the number depends on where you live, so you need your provider’s ZIP code lookup or the on-screen guide.
Key facts (as of November 2026)
- DIRECTV lists FOX News on channel 360 in both its satellite and its internet lineups effective November 1, 2026.

What channel is Fox News on DIRECTV?
FOX News is on channel 360 on DIRECTV. The same number applies to the satellite service and to DIRECTV via Internet, the streaming version that works through the DIRECTV app and the Gemini box, in the lineups effective November 1, 2026.
The other Fox channels sit right beside it. FOX Business is one channel down on 359, and FOX Weather is on 363. That makes it easy to flip between Fox’s three news networks during a big story. For comparison, CNN is on 202 on DIRECTV, as our CNN channel guide shows.
What channel is Fox News on DISH?
FOX News is on channel 205 on DISH. FOX Business is on 206, and FOX Weather is on 222, according to DISH’s lineup valid as of July 2026.
DISH also lists all three channels in its News Pack, a channel add-on. The lineup says channel packs need a Flex Pack or a higher programming package. In other words, check which package you have before you count on the add-on.
What channel is Fox News on Verizon Fios and AT&T U-verse?
On Verizon Fios, FOX News is on 118, with the HD version on 618. FOX Business is on 117 (617 HD), and FOX Weather is on 113 (613 HD). However, the Fios lineup PDF that Verizon links to is dated January 12, 2025, so confirm the number on your own guide.
On AT&T U-verse, FOX News is on 210, and the HD feed is on 1210. FOX Business follows on 211 (1211 HD). U-verse uses a simple pattern: the HD number is the standard number plus 1,000. The U-verse lineup was updated January 7, 2026, and it does not list FOX Weather.
Finding the Fox News channel number on Xfinity, Spectrum and other cable
Cable systems such as Xfinity and Spectrum set channel numbers town by town. As a result, one national number doesn’t exist for them. Here is the quickest way to find yours:
- Use your provider’s lineup tool. Xfinity, for example, has a channel lineup page where you enter your address.
- Open the on-screen guide on your TV box and search for “FOX News.”
- Check that the channel is in your package. Some smaller cable tiers leave out news networks.
Then save the channel as a favorite, so it’s one button away next time.
