How to watch Fox News in the US without cable and for FREE
If you’ve kicked your cable provider to the curb, there are a couple of OTT options available to get your fix of Fox News.
A Sling Blue package via Sling TV offers over 40 news and entertainment channels. Sling Blue usually costs $45 per month but new customers can currently get 50% off the cost of the first month. That includes 50 hours DVR storage to record your favorite shows, and the ability to stream on up to three devices simultaneously.
Then you've got FuboTV, whose entry-level Pro plan costs a steeper $79.99, but offers a lineup of over 100 channels, including Fox News, and which you can try free for 7 days first if you’re new to the service.
Alternatively, there’s Hulu + Live TV (with ads) for $82.99 a month. That plan bundles in on-demand service Disney Plus and EPSN Plus, but doesn’t provide members with a free trial.

How to watch Fox News from outside your country
Fox News is available to watch in over 40 countries. But if you’re out of the country, you probably won't be able to connect to your usual streaming platform. This is the result of geo-blocking - best understood as digital borders that restrict certain services and content to specific parts of the world.
The best VPN can let you get around these digital borders, while offering robust protection from cybercriminals and government snooping. They're also really easy to use.
Use a VPN to watch Fox News online from anywhere:
NordVPN is one of the simplest and most affordable ways to watch what you want, from wherever you want to watch it. It's straightforward and easy to use, has great security, is available on loads of streaming devices and, best of all, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out 100% risk-free. Give it a go.
How to watch Fox News online in the UK
While Fox News is no longer available through Sky, UK viewers can stream the network's coverage through the Fox News International app. This can be downloaded to iPhones, Android, Apple TV and Roku devices, where the monthly subscription priced at $6.99 (roughly £5.65) provides live streams of Fox News and its sister station, Fox Business Network.
But if you’re a US citizen abroad trying to access your Sling or FuboTV stream, you’ll want to download a VPN so you can connect to the service and stream the same unmissable news content you’d watch at home.
