What Fox Sports Subscription Covers

Fox Sports+ is a standalone streaming service run by Fox Corporation that shows live sports events, highlights, and analysis. It is not the same as cable Fox Sports channels — it is a separate subscription you buy directly. The service includes live games from MLS (Major League Soccer), NWSL (National Women's Soccer League), select college sports, and Fox Sports original shows.

The exact sports available depend on which league is in season and which games Fox has broadcast rights to that month. Fox Sports+ does not carry NFL games, NBA games, or most major league baseball — those air on other networks and services. You can watch on phones, tablets, computers, and some smart TVs through the Fox Sports app or website.

Key Takeaways

  • Fox Sports+ costs a fixed monthly or annual rate and you can cancel anytime without penalty.
  • The service streams live games and replays, but the specific sports change based on the season and Fox's broadcast contracts.
  • You need to create a Fox account and provide a payment method to start a subscription.
  • Fox Sports+ is separate from cable Fox Sports channels and does not include those broadcasts.

Current Pricing and Payment Options

Fox Sports+ charges a monthly subscription fee. The exact price varies depending on whether you pay month-to-month or commit to an annual plan — annual plans typically cost less per month than paying monthly. You can pay with a credit card, debit card, or through certain digital payment platforms.

Pricing can change, and Fox sometimes runs promotional offers for new subscribers. Check the Fox Sports+ website directly for the current rate, because prices differ by region and change over time. If you already subscribe to Hulu or Disney+ through The Walt Disney Company, Fox Sports+ may be bundled with those services at a different price.

How to Set Up Your Account

Start by going to the Fox Sports+ website or downloading the Fox Sports app on your device. You will need to create a Fox account using an email address and password. During signup, you provide your payment method and billing address.

After you enter your payment information, your subscription begins immediately. You can start watching live games and on-demand content right away. If you sign up close to when a live game is starting, you may be able to join the stream partway through, depending on the service's replay policy.

What Devices Work With Fox Sports+

Fox Sports+ works on most common devices: iPhones and iPads, Android phones and tablets, computers running Windows or Mac, and smart TVs including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Samsung TVs. You can stream on one device at a time with a standard subscription, though some plans may allow multiple simultaneous streams — check the current terms on the Fox Sports+ website.

To watch on a smart TV, download the Fox Sports app from your TV's app store, sign in with your Fox account, and select the game you want to watch. On phones and computers, you can use the app or go to the website and log in there.

Canceling Your Subscription

You can cancel Fox Sports+ anytime through your account settings on the website or in the app. Go to your account menu, find the subscription or billing section, and select the option to cancel. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — if you pay monthly and cancel on the 15th, your access continues until the end of that month.

After you cancel, you lose access to the service when your current period ends. If you change your mind, you can restart your subscription later. Fox does not charge a cancellation fee or require you to give advance notice.

Blackout Rules and Geographic Restrictions

Some live games on Fox Sports+ may be subject to blackout restrictions, which means they are not available to stream in certain geographic areas. This happens when another broadcaster has exclusive rights to show the game in your region. Blackout rules vary by sport and by game — there is no single rule that applies to all content.

If a game is blacked out in your area, you typically see a message in the app saying the content is not available. You may still be able to watch highlights or replays after the game ends, depending on the blackout terms. Check the Fox Sports+ website or app before game time to see if a specific game is available in your location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I watch Fox Sports+ on multiple devices at the same time?

Standard subscriptions allow streaming on one device at a time. If you try to watch on a second device while a stream is active on another, the first stream stops. Check your current plan details on the Fox Sports+ website to confirm the number of simultaneous streams included.

Do I get Fox Sports+ if I have cable Fox Sports channels?

No. Cable Fox Sports channels and Fox Sports+ are separate services. Having cable Fox Sports does not include Fox Sports+. You must buy Fox Sports+ as a separate subscription if you want to stream on-demand content and live games through the app.

What happens if I pause my subscription?

Fox Sports+ does not offer a pause option. You can only cancel or keep your subscription active. If you want to stop paying temporarily, you must cancel and then restart later. When you restart, you may be charged the current rate, which could be different from what you paid before.

Can I watch games after they air live?

Yes. Fox Sports+ offers on-demand replays of most games after they finish broadcasting live. The replay is usually available within a few hours of the game ending. Some games may have replay restrictions based on broadcast agreements, so check the app to see if a specific game is available on demand.

Is there a free trial?

Fox Sports+ occasionally offers free trial periods to new subscribers, but this is not may provide and changes over time. Visit the Fox Sports+ website to see if a trial is currently available in your area. Any trial period will be clearly stated during signup before you enter your payment information.
