How to Watch Fox Without Cable

Ever since FOX debuted as a cable network in the mid-1980s, it joined established giants ABC, CBS, and NBC as one of the most popular channels on TV. FOX aims to deliver lighter entertainment like dramas, comedies, and reality shows. It’s the kind of TV you don’t want to miss, and luckily, you don’t need a cable subscription to tune in.

In the age of streaming services, we’re no longer bound to cable and satellite providers to watch network television. FOX is available on several skinny bundle streaming services, making it easy to access outside of traditional cable. FOX is also broadcast for free over the air in many areas, so you will likely be able to tune in with a TV antenna. This guide will walk you through all the ways you can watch FOX without a cable subscription.

You wouldn’t want to miss the latest celebrity smackdown on “The Masked Singer,” break your decadelong streak of never skipping “The Simpsons” or be out of the loop on important NFL games. FOX is a pop culture and entertainment nexus that you don’t have to forfeit just because you’re sick of cable TV. Two main ways to get FOX without cable are skinny bundle streaming services and free over-the-air TV. Let’s look at both options and the details on how to watch:

Skinny bundles are similar to on-demand streaming platforms except for one major difference: they allow you to add live TV channels to your subscription in addition to accessing their streaming libraries. This creates an experience that’s a lot closer to traditional TV but cuts cost and bulk to give you a more streamlined service. With skinny bundles, you never have to worry about being locked into a contract or early termination fees because you can cancel and renew at any time.

Here’s the full list of how to watch FOX without cable:

• DIRECTV
• fuboTV
• Sling TV
• Hulu + Live TV
• YouTube TV
• Free over-the-air TV

If watching TV through an HD antenna is your preferred method, you can most likely still access FOX programming through your local TV tower. FOX’s local affiliate stations in markets across the country transmit FOX’s programming over the air. If you’re within range of the tower and free from obstructions, all you’ll need is a high-quality antenna to tune in.

You can watch your favorite FOX shows wherever you want, whether it’s in your living room at home or on public transit with headphones. If you’re watching on a skinny bundle streaming service, you can use streaming devices to watch on any screen. Connect your streaming service to Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Chromecast, iOS, Android, or your web browser to flip between devices and take your favorite shows with you. If you watch via over-the-air TV, you won’t be able to use streaming devices to watch FOX on the go.

FOX delivers a mix of many different types of entertainment, including sports, reality TV, animated classics like “Bob’s Burgers” and heart-pounding dramas like “Accused.” For another channel option with a wide range of programming, try ABC. It offers shows ranging from “ABC World News Tonight” to “Grey’s Anatomy” to “Bachelor in Paradise.” FOX fans will love the fresh and fun content on ABC, with plenty of variety to keep them entertained.
