Fox Corp’s suite of TV properties is finally rolling out to cord-cutters as the media giant dives head-first into the streaming wars.
Fox One, the ambitious all-in-one app that houses all of Fox Corp’s television offerings, went live on Thursday across web, mobile and connected TV devices, bringing together Fox News, sports programming and entertainment content — available to be had for $19.99 a month.
The offer includes a seven-day free trial and annual pricing at $199.99, positioning itself as a premium alternative to traditional cable packages that have hemorrhaged subscribers in recent years.
The platform is available across major devices including Apple iOS, Android, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Google TV, Xbox, Samsung, LG and Vizio smart TVs.
The launch comes as Fox pivots aggressively toward streaming after its Super Bowl broadcast on Tubi shattered digital records with 15.5 million peak concurrent viewers and 24 million unique viewers earlier this year.
The platform targets cord-cutters and “cord-nevers” — those who have never subscribed to cable — with what Fox bills as a “live-first experience” featuring robust AI integrations for personalized content discovery and enhanced search capabilities powered by partnerships with Perplexity and Sierra AI.
“We are excited to get Fox One in the hands of viewers today, and bring our leading News, Sports and Entertainment programming to fans who have been underserved in the streaming ecosystem to date,” Pete Distad, CEO of Direct to Consumer at Fox Corporation, said in a statement.
Fox News Channel, the top-rated cable news network for over 23 years, will stream live 24/7 on the platform — marking its first availability on a standalone streaming service.
The news division already commands massive digital audiences with 1.5 billion YouTube views and 3.7 billion social media video views in the most recent fiscal quarter alone.
Sports programming includes NFL, MLB, college football and basketball, UFL, NASCAR, IndyCar and FIFA World Cup coverage across Fox Sports, FS1, FS2 and Big Ten Network.
Entertainment offerings feature this fall’s biggest Fox hits including “The Floor,” “Hell’s Kitchen,” “Murder in a Small Town” and the complete Animation Domination lineup with “The Simpsons,” “Bob’s Burgers” and new series.
Fox Corp is sister company to The Post’s corporate parent News Corp. Shares of Fox Corp, which are listed on the Nasdaq, were trading flat as of 2 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday.
Fox Television Stations add local news muscle as the number one local news source, producing over 1,350 hours weekly and featuring more than 600 local sporting events including top NFL, MLB and NBA games.
The service includes unlimited DVR storage, personalized highlight packages and a vertical video format for trending clips currently in beta testing.
Starting Oct. 2, Fox One will bundle with ESPN’s new direct-to-consumer service for $39.99 monthly, offering access to all ESPN linear networks plus ESPN+, covering 47,000 live events annually.
The ESPN partnership represents a major strategic alliance as both companies chase streaming revenues while traditional cable subscriptions continue declining nationwide.
Existing pay-TV customers can authenticate within Fox One at no additional cost, while cord-cutters get full access to the premium content portfolio previously locked behind cable paywalls.
Fox Nation and B1G+ are available as add-ons, with a Fox Nation bundle priced at $24.99 monthly or $19.99 when purchasing annual plans at launch.
Fox One’s “We Live For LIVE” marketing campaign targets cord-cutters through creator platforms, social media, podcasts and digital-first strategies, emphasizing the company’s live programming dominance.
The service leverages technological innovations from Tubi Media Group to enhance user experience with advanced content discovery features and seamless integration of live and on-demand programming.
Fox Corporation has positioned the launch as extending its DNA in live programming, from breaking news and record-setting sports to competition series and acclaimed animation.
The company promises Fox One will “rapidly evolve” in coming weeks and months to exceed customer expectations for premium, personalized viewing in an AI-powered entertainment landscape.
With cable subscriptions plummeting and streaming wars intensifying, Fox One represents the media conglomerate’s boldest bet yet on direct-to-consumer revenue streams.
