Fox Corporation is making a big push into the streaming wars with the debut of FOX One, a direct-to-consumer platform designed to give viewers live sports, breaking news, and entertainment programming all in a single app. The service is set to launch August 21, just in time for the NFL season.
Aimed squarely at cord-cutters and “cord-nevers” — people who have never subscribed to traditional cable — FOX One will cost $19.99 per month or $199.99 annually. Existing cable and satellite customers who already pay for Fox channels will be able to access the service at no extra cost.
“The FOX One user interface is incredibly innovative,” said Lachlan Murdoch, Fox Corp’s executive chair and CEO, during the company’s quarterly earnings call. “It can be highly personalized and relies on clever technology to offer something truly unique in the marketplace.”
The launch comes on the same day ESPN is set to roll out its own streaming platform, priced $10 higher than FOX One’s monthly fee.
What’s Inside FOX One
Subscribers will get access to a wide swath of Fox properties, including:
- Fox Network programming such as The Simpsons, Family Guy, and primetime dramas
- Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network
- Fox Sports coverage of NFL, MLB, college football, NCAA basketball, and marquee events like the World Series, Belmont Stakes, IndyCar racing, and the 2026 FIFA World Cup
- FS1, FS2, Big Ten Network, and Fox Deportes
- On-demand content from FOX Entertainment
- Local Fox stations and Fox Weather
Sports fans in particular will find plenty to stream. Fox’s NFL package includes NFC games featuring teams like the New York Giants and defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. Baseball coverage extends to the postseason and World Series, while college football viewers will see Big Noon Saturday matchups and Big Ten action.
A Strategic Move to Capture the Streaming Audience
Leading the rollout is Pete Distad, a veteran of Apple TV+ and the former Venu Sports venture.
“In bringing together the full power of the FOX content portfolio in one service, we’ve created a great value proposition for cord-cutters and cord-never fans,” Distad said.
While FOX One offers a standalone subscription, the company will also sell a bundle pairing it with Fox Nation, the network’s opinion-driven streaming platform. That package will cost $24.99 per month or the equivalent of $19.99 monthly for annual subscribers.
Not Replacing Cable — Yet
Fox emphasized that all FOX One content will still be available through traditional pay TV for those who want to stick with cable or satellite. But for those seeking flexibility — or looking to drop pricey cable packages — FOX One offers a direct, streamlined way to watch the network’s programming on demand.
The launch marks a major step for Fox Corp in consolidating its content under a single streaming brand — and positions the company to compete more aggressively in a streaming market increasingly defined by all-in-one platforms.
