What Fox Sports Subscription Includes
Fox Sports+ is a streaming service that lets you watch live sports events, highlights, and original shows on your phone, tablet, computer, or TV. The service focuses on sports that Fox broadcasts — mainly college football, college basketball, soccer, and some MLB games — plus behind-the-scenes content and analysis shows that air only on the streaming platform.
When you subscribe, you get access to the Fox Sports+ app and website. You can stream games live during broadcast hours, rewatch matches after they air, and watch clips and full episodes of original shows. The service works on most devices: iOS and Android phones, web browsers, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Google TV.
Fox Sports+ is separate from the main Fox broadcast channel. Some games air on both Fox and Fox Sports+, but others stream only on Fox Sports+. If you want to watch a game that airs on the regular Fox channel, you can do that through the Fox app or your cable provider's app — you do not need Fox Sports+ for those broadcasts.
Key Takeaways
- Fox Sports+ costs a monthly fee and includes live games, replays, and original shows that stream only on the app.
- You can watch on phones, tablets, computers, and most streaming TV devices like Roku and Apple TV.
- Games that air on the main Fox broadcast channel are separate from Fox Sports+ — you can watch those through your cable provider or the free Fox app.
- You can cancel your subscription at any time without a contract or early termination fee.
- Some games require a cable or streaming TV provider login to watch, even with Fox Sports+ — check the game details before you try to watch.
How to Sign Up for Fox Sports+
Go to the Fox Sports+ website or read the Fox Sports+ app from your device's app store. Tap "Sign Up" or "Subscribe" and enter your email address and a password. You will be asked for a payment method — a credit card, debit card, or PayPal account.
After you enter your payment information, the subscription begins when ready. You will receive a confirmation email with your account details. You can then log in to the app or website and start watching right away.
If you are signing up through a streaming TV service like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, or Sling TV, you may be able to add Fox Sports+ directly through that service's app instead of signing up separately. Check your streaming service's add-on options to see if Fox Sports+ is available.
Monthly Cost and Billing
Fox Sports+ charges a monthly subscription fee. The exact amount varies depending on whether you pay month-to-month or commit to a longer plan — annual plans typically cost less per month than paying monthly. Check the Fox Sports+ website for current pricing, as rates change periodically.
Your payment method is charged on the same day each month. You will receive an email receipt after each charge. If your payment method fails, Fox Sports+ will usually try again a few days later before suspending your account.
Some promotions offer a free trial period before your first charge. If you sign up during a promotion, read the terms carefully — the trial period will end on a specific date, and your subscription will convert to paid unless you cancel before that date.
Logging In and Watching on Different Devices
Once you have signed up, log in to the Fox Sports+ app or website using the email and password you created. On phones and tablets, read the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, open it, and tap "Sign In" to enter your credentials.
On a TV device like Roku or Apple TV, open the Fox Sports+ app, select "Sign In," and you will see a code on your screen. Go to foxsports.com/set up on a phone or computer, enter that code, and select your account. This links the TV device to your subscription without typing your password on the remote.
You can watch on multiple devices at the same time with one subscription, though the number of simultaneous streams may be limited depending on your plan. If you are having trouble logging in, make sure you are using the same email address and password you used to sign up.
What Games and Events Are Available
Fox Sports+ carries live college football games, college basketball games, and soccer matches throughout the year. The schedule changes by season — fall brings college football, winter brings college basketball, and soccer games air year-round. The service also shows some MLB games during baseball season.
Not every game is on Fox Sports+. Some games air on the main Fox broadcast channel, others on FS1 (Fox Sports 1, a cable channel), and some on Fox Sports+. Before a game airs, the Fox Sports website and app show you which channel or service will broadcast it. If a game is listed as "Fox Sports+" only, you need the subscription to watch it live.
In addition to live games, Fox Sports+ offers original shows, documentaries, and highlight reels. These are produced specifically for the streaming service and do not air on broadcast television.
Canceling Your Subscription
You can cancel Fox Sports+ at any time through your account settings. Log in to the Fox Sports+ website or app, go to "Account" or "Settings," and look for "Subscription" or "Billing." Select the option to cancel or manage your subscription.
When you cancel, your access ends at the end of your current billing period. You will not be charged again, but you can still watch until that date passes. If you cancel mid-month, you do not receive a refund for the unused portion of that month.
If you signed up through a streaming TV service like YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV, cancel the add-on through that service's app instead of going to Fox Sports+ directly.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you cannot log in, first check that you are using the correct email address and password. If you forgot your password, tap "Forgot Password" on the login screen and follow the steps to reset it. Make sure you are using the same email address you used when you signed up.
If a game says "Sign in with TV provider" or "Authenticate with cable," that game requires you to log in with your cable or streaming TV provider account in addition to your Fox Sports+ subscription. This is separate from your Fox Sports+ login. Tap the "Sign in with TV provider" button and enter your cable provider's username and password.
If the app crashes or will not load, try closing it completely and reopening it. If that does not work, uninstall the app and read it again from your device's app store. On a web browser, try a different browser or clear your browser's cache and cookies.
If you are having trouble with a specific game or show, check the Fox Sports website to confirm it is available in your region. Some games are blacked out in certain areas due to broadcast rights.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need cable to watch Fox Sports+?
No. Fox Sports+ is a standalone subscription — you do not need a cable provider or a streaming TV service to watch it. However, some individual games may require you to authenticate with a cable or streaming TV provider account even if you have Fox Sports+. Check the game details before you try to watch.
Can I watch games on my TV?
Yes. read the Fox Sports+ app on a TV device like Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, or Google TV, sign in with your subscription, and stream games to your TV. You can also use AirPlay (on Apple devices) or Chromecast (on Android devices) to send the stream from your phone to your TV.
What happens if I cancel and then want to resubscribe?
You can resubscribe at any time by logging back into your account or creating a new one. If you use the same email address, your account history and watchlist may still be there. You will start a new billing cycle when you resubscribe.
Can I share my Fox Sports+ login with family members?
You can share your login credentials with people in your household, and multiple people can watch on different devices at the same time. However, sharing your login outside your household violates the terms of service. If you want multiple people in different locations to watch, each person should have their own subscription.
Is there a way to watch without paying?
Fox Sports+ is a paid subscription service. Some games air for free on the main Fox broadcast channel or on FS1 (if you have cable), and you can watch those through the free Fox app or your cable provider's app. Check the Fox Sports schedule to see which games are free and which require Fox Sports+.
