Hate it or love it, Fox News is a powerful force in American news, media, and politics. It’s one of the most-watched TV channels in the country, with viewership of all parties and ages. Right now, Fox News is especially important with the 2024 presidential election nearing its climax.

But, there’s one big roadblock for cord-cutters: It’s only available as a traditional TV channel. Luckily, however, if you’ve ditched the box or satellite you can still watch Fox News online without cable. Here’s a quick guide on how to stream Fox News, including an easy way to get Fox News for free.

Unlike some other TV channels, Fox News does not simulcast its programming through any on-demand streaming services like Peacock or Paramount+. If you want to watch Fox News without cable, you’ll need to get a live TV streaming service that carries the channel. Below are some of our favorite live TV streaming services that offer Fox News streams, including two with free trials.

With high-quality streams and a great channel lineup (especially for sports fans), DirecTV Stream is typically our top suggestion for anyone looking to get a live TV streaming service. DTV Stream’s service’s Entertainment package (its most affordable plan) includes Fox News and more than 75 other popular channels like CNN, CNBC, and MSNBC. The package starts with a five-day free trial and then costs $79.99 a month after that.

Sling is a more affordable live TV streaming service that also carries Fox News. You’ll need Sling Blue to access the channel. This package starts at $40 a month and comes with 42 channels total, including local channels in most areas and other news channels like CNN and MSNBC.

Another great live TV streaming service is fubo, which delivers Fox News in all of its packages. fubo’s most affordable package is its Pro plan, which carries a whopping 172 channels (CNN, CNBC, and MSNBC are also included). That plan costs $79.99 a month after a seven-day free trial.

Hulu + Live TV will also let you stream Fox News without cable. We’re big fans of Hulu + Live TV as an all-in-one streaming package, as a single $76.99/month subscription gets you access to more than 90 live TV channels, the whole on-demand Hulu library, ESPN+, and Disney+.

NOTE: All of these streaming services will let you connect to foxnews.com livestreams. Just head to the website, log in with your streaming service account credentials, and enjoy Fox News livestreams online at no additional cost.

Unlike most cable or satellite services, you can sign up for a free trial to DirecTV Stream or fubo for instant access to live TV — all without paying anything. This will get you free Fox News livestreams for free for several days, as long as you cancel before the trial is over.
