The cheapest way to watch Fox News without cable is a $19.99-a-month plan: either FOX One, Fox’s own streaming service, or Sling Select, a small live TV package that now includes Fox News. Both stream the live channel, and neither needs a contract. This page compares every official plan by price, free trial and what else you get, so you can pick the right one in a few minutes.
Key facts (as of November 2026)
- FOX One costs $19.99 a month and fox.com currently offers a 3-day free trial.
- Sling Select also starts at $19.99 a month and lists Fox News, FS1, FX and NFL Network, plus FOX One app access.
- DIRECTV’s MyNews pack bundles Fox News with CNN and MS NOW for $44.99 a month after a 5-day free trial.
What are your options to watch Fox News without cable?
You can stream Fox News Channel live in three official ways: buy FOX One directly, subscribe to a live TV streaming service that carries it, or sign in to the Fox News app with that service. In each case you get the same live channel as cable viewers, including the big primetime shows. Our main Fox News live stream guide explains the channel, its devices and its schedule; this page focuses on cost.
Fox News without cable: prices compared
Here is what each plan costs as listed on the provider’s own website in early November 2026. Promotions change often, so check the sign-up page before you pay.
| Plan | Monthly price | Free trial listed | Also includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| FOX One | $19.99 | 3 days | FOX Business, FOX Weather, FOX network, FOX Sports channels |
| Sling Select | From $19.99 | None listed | FS1, FX, NFL Network, National Geographic, FOX One app access |
| Sling Blue | From $45.99 | None listed | 40+ channels in all, including MSNBC (now MS NOW), USA and Bravo |
| DIRECTV MyNews genre pack | $44.99 ($39.99 for the first 2 months) | 5 days | 9+ news channels, including CNN and MS NOW |
| Hulu + Live TV | $99.99 | 3 days | Full channel bundle plus Disney+ and ESPN |
Over a year, the gap adds up. FOX One or Sling Select comes to about $240 a year at the monthly price, while Hulu + Live TV runs about $1,200. Fox has also listed an annual FOX One plan at $199.99, which saves about $40 if you know you’ll keep it.
Which plan is best for you?
The right choice depends on what else you watch. So start with the channels you can’t do without, then pick the cheapest plan that has them all.
You only want Fox News
Choose FOX One. It is made by Fox, it includes FOX Business and FOX Weather, and it works on most streaming devices, smart TVs and phones. Fox also lists it as a Prime Video Channel, which is handy if you already use Prime Video.
You want Fox News plus sports and entertainment
Sling Select costs the same and adds cable channels like FX and NFL Network. Because it also includes FOX One app access, you can watch Fox News in either app. However, it is a smaller bundle, so check that your other must-have channels are on it.
You want to compare Fox News with CNN and MS NOW
DIRECTV’s MyNews pack is the news-focused option. For $44.99 a month it carries Fox News, CNN, MS NOW and other news channels, which suits viewers who like to switch between networks. If you also follow CNN, our guide to watching CNN without cable compares its plans the same way.
You want a full cable replacement
Hulu + Live TV includes Fox News in a large bundle with local channels, sports and the Disney+ and ESPN streaming apps. It costs the most, so it only pays off if you’d use most of what’s in it.
How to sign in to the Fox News app with a streaming service
If you already pay for Sling, DIRECTV or Hulu + Live TV, you don’t need FOX One as well. Instead, you can unlock live Fox News in the Fox News app by linking your provider:
- Open the Fox News app on your phone, TV or streaming device.
- On a phone, tap “Connect TV Provider”; on a TV app, choose “Connect Provider”.
- Pick your live TV service from the list and sign in with that account.
- Go back to the app’s live section; the channel stream should now play.
On a web browser, the same option appears as “TV Provider” at the top of the Fox video page.
Coming soon: the NewsLive streaming app. We’re building one subscription for live international news on Android, Roku, Fire TV and desktop. The service is under development. See what the NewsLive app will offer and join the early-access list.
Can you watch Fox News without cable for free?
Not the full live channel. Fox News Channel is a paid network, so free trials are the only legal way to try it at no cost, and each trial is a one-time offer for new customers.
There are free Fox-owned alternatives, though. LiveNOW from FOX streams live events and breaking news without a subscription; our LiveNOW from FOX guide shows where to find it. FOX Weather is also a free, ad-supported service, according to Fox News Media. Neither one carries Fox News Channel’s regular shows.
Watching Fox News without cable outside the US
FOX One and the US live TV services are for US viewers. Abroad, Fox sells FOX News International, a separate app that streams Fox News Channel and FOX Business live, plus more than 20 shows on demand. Its website lists over 40 countries, including the UK, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, the Nordic countries and Mexico, and says it is not available in the US.
