Watch Fox News for Free

Some of the streaming services that carry Fox News offer a free trial. You can take advantage of those and watch free Fox News for almost a month or longer if you use different email addresses. Let’s look at the free trials available.

• FuboTV – offers a 1-week free trial.
• DIRECTV STREAM – Try their  5-day free trial
• YouTube TV –  offers a 1-week free trial

As long as you cancel before the free trial expires, you won’t be charged. You can cycle the free trials to get nearly a month of Fox News free. If you get creative with email addresses and payment methods, you could watch free Fox News even longer. Doing this would also let you test out the various live TV streaming services to see which one you like the best.

Watch with the Fox News Go App

If you decide to subscribe to any of the services mentioned above, you will also have access to the Fox News Go app. Most think you need a cable provider login to utilize the Fox app, but that isn’t the case. The login credentials you use for Hulu, FuboTV, YouTube TV, and Vidgo will also work to unlock live and some on-demand Fox content.

You can even download the Fox app on your Roku, Apple TV, or Amazon Fire TV and watch on your television using the credentials from any of the services mentioned above. There are detailed instructions in the next section on installing and activating the Fox News Go app on your streaming device.

Watch Fox News On Roku, Firestick, and More

While all the streaming services mentioned above are supported on Roku and Amazon Fire TV Stick, you may want to watch Fox News on the Fox News Go app. Not to worry, Fox News is available on several streaming devices, and you can use your login credentials for FuboTV,  Hulu Live TV, Vidgo,  and YouTube TV to unlock all the content available on the Fox News Go app. This will allow you to watch Fox News live through the app.

How To Watch on Your Device

For our example, let’s assume we have a Vidgo subscription and a Roku. We can follow the steps below to get the Fox News app working on our device. While the steps below use Vidgo and Roku to watch Fox News, most streaming services and devices will have the same process.

1. Go to the channel store or app store on your device. On Roku, it’s called the “Channel Store.”
