How to Watch Fox Without Cable in 2024

Together with ABC, CBS, and NBC, Fox stands as a major network, which is no surprise when you consider some of its hit shows, such as 24, House, and The Simpsons. Many people still subscribe to cable to watch Fox, but it’s also available without cable. You can watch Fox over the air with an antenna or, if you prefer, over the internet. In this piece, we’ll walk you through the latter option.

How to Watch Fox Online Without Cable

Nowadays, Fox, like all the other major networks, is available via live TV streaming services. They allow you to stream content directly to your internet-connected devices, such as TVs, mobile phones, and computers, and unlike cable or satellite, they don’t require long-term commitments: you can even subscribe for a single month if you prefer. Watching Fox through a live TV service is straightforward: simply choose a service, subscribe, and hit ‘play.’ Next, let’s explore the services that offer Fox.

Fubo has an ambitious mission “to build the world’s leading global live TV streaming platform with the greatest breadth of premium content and interactivity.” In line with that, Fubo is already one of the only streaming services to offer all the major networks – ABC, CBS, NBC, and most importantly, Fox. Besides premium content, Fubo provides 1,000 hours of cloud DVR storage, allowing you to record and watch that content at your leisure.

You have probably heard of Hulu, an on-demand video streaming service, but have you heard that you can also watch live TV as a Hulu subscriber? That’s possible with Hulu + Live TV, which, as the name suggests, combines Hulu’s on-demand and live TV sides. In addition to Fox, Hulu also includes the other major networks, as well as unlimited cloud DVR.

Sling TV is an early entrant into the live TV streaming service market and still a solid choice for watching Fox without cable. Fox is available in Sling TV’s Blue package for subscribers living in the right Designated Market Area (DMA). DMAs are regions usually centered around large cities that determine the programming one receives. These are the DMAs where you can watch Fox via Sling TV: Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Detroit, Gainesville, Houston, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New York, Orlando/Daytona/Melbourne, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose, Seattle, Tampa/St. Petersburg, and Washington, DC.

Google has never shied away from entering new businesses, and one of its ventures is live TV streaming. YouTube TV, Google’s live TV streaming service, costs $72.99 a month and offers more than 100 channels, including the major networks, as well as YouTube Premium’s original programming. Like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV comes with unlimited cloud DVR.
