What Fox Subscription Includes

Fox offers two subscription tiers: Fox+ and Hulu + Disney+ + ESPN+ bundles. Fox+ is the standalone service that lets you stream Fox shows, sports, and movies on demand. It does not include live TV — you watch recorded episodes and full seasons after they air on the broadcast channel.

The bundle options pair Fox+ with other Disney-owned services. You can choose Hulu with ads, Hulu without ads, or add ESPN+ for sports. Each combination costs differently and renews on a monthly or annual cycle depending on which plan you pick at signup.

Fox+ content includes current-season episodes of shows like The Masked Singer, The Resident, and sports programming such as NFL games, college football, and soccer. You also get access to Fox's back catalog — older seasons of shows that have already aired — and original movies made for the service.

Key Takeaways

  • Fox+ streams on-demand episodes and full seasons but does not include live TV broadcasts.
  • You can subscribe to Fox+ alone or bundle it with Hulu and ESPN+ at a lower combined price than buying each separately.
  • Monthly and annual payment options are both available; annual plans usually cost less per month if you commit upfront.
  • Your subscription works on phones, tablets, computers, and streaming devices like Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire Stick.
  • You can cancel anytime without penalty, though you lose access when ready rather than at the end of a billing cycle.

How to Set Up Your Account

Start at the Fox website or read the Fox app from your device's app store. Tap "Sign Up" and enter your email address and a password. Fox will send a confirmation link to your email — click it to verify your account.

Next, choose your subscription tier: Fox+ alone, or one of the bundle options with Hulu and ESPN+. The page will show the price for monthly or annual billing. Enter your payment method (credit card, debit card, or PayPal) and confirm your order. Your subscription begins when ready, and you can start streaming right away.

If you already have a Hulu or Disney+ account, you can link it to your Fox login instead of creating a separate one. This consolidates your subscriptions into a single account and one monthly bill.

Devices and Streaming Compatibility

Fox+ works on most modern devices. You can watch on iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tablets, computers (Windows and Mac), and streaming devices including Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick, Google Chromecast, and Samsung Smart TVs. You can also watch through a web browser at fox.com.

The number of screens you can watch on at the same time depends on your plan. Most Fox+ subscriptions allow simultaneous streaming on two devices, though this varies by bundle option. Check your plan details after signup to confirm your household's limit.

If you travel outside the United States, you may not be able to stream certain content due to licensing restrictions. The app will usually tell you which shows or sports events are blocked in your location.

Cost and Billing Cycles

Fox+ standalone pricing varies by whether you choose monthly or annual billing. Monthly plans renew automatically on the same date each month. Annual plans renew once per year and usually offer a lower per-month cost than paying monthly.

Bundle pricing depends on which services you add. A Hulu + Disney+ + ESPN+ bundle with Fox+ costs more than Fox+ alone, but less than paying for each service separately. Disney frequently runs promotional offers on bundles — discounted first months or annual plans at reduced rates — so check the signup page to see current deals.

Your billing date is the date you signed up, unless you chose an annual plan that started on a promotional cycle. You can view your next billing date and payment method in your account settings at any time.

Canceling Your Subscription

You can cancel Fox+ anytime without a cancellation fee or penalty. Go to your account settings, find the subscription section, and select "Cancel Subscription." Fox will ask you to confirm and may offer a discount to keep you — you can accept or proceed with cancellation.

Once you cancel, your access stops when ready. You do not get a refund for the current billing period, even if you cancel on the first day of the month. If you cancel an annual plan, you lose access right away and do not receive a prorated refund for unused months.

If you cancel and later want to resubscribe, you can sign back up using the same email address. Your watchlist and viewing history will still be there.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you cannot log in, first check that you are using the correct email and password. If you forgot your password, tap "Forgot Password" on the login screen and follow the reset link sent to your email. Make sure you check your spam folder if the email does not arrive within a few minutes.

If a show or movie will not play, try closing the app completely and reopening it. If that does not work, restart your device. Check that your internet connection is stable — streaming requires at least 5 Mbps for standard quality and 25 Mbps for 4K. If you are on a shared network, other devices using bandwidth may slow your stream.

If you see a message that content is not available in your region, that show or event is blocked outside the United States due to licensing. You cannot watch it from outside the US, even with a valid subscription.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I watch live TV with Fox+?

No. Fox+ streams on-demand episodes and full seasons after they air on broadcast television. If you want to watch Fox shows live as they air, you need a cable or satellite TV package, or a live TV streaming service like YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV, which are separate from Fox+.

What happens if I pause my subscription?

Fox does not offer a pause option. You can cancel and resubscribe later, and your account information will be saved. However, you lose access when ready upon cancellation rather than pausing billing.

Can I share my Fox+ password with family members?

You can share your login with people in your household up to your plan's simultaneous streaming limit. Sharing outside your home may violate Fox's terms of service. Check your account settings to see how many screens can stream at once.

Do I need a cable subscription to use Fox+?

No. Fox+ is a standalone service and does not require cable or satellite TV. You only need an internet connection and a compatible device.

Are there ads on Fox+?

Yes, most Fox+ content includes ads. The number and frequency of ads varies by show. Some premium content or special events may have fewer ads, but ad-free viewing is not currently an option for Fox+ alone. If you bundle with Hulu, you can choose Hulu's ad-free plan, which removes ads from Hulu content but not necessarily from Fox+ content.
