Get Fox News with a live TV streaming service
Cord-cutters, don’t fret—the majority of live TV streaming services include Fox News in their channel lineups.
Frndly TV and Philo are the two main live TV streaming services that don’t carry Fox News. Both Frndly TV and Philo have heavily entertainment-centric lineups with a marked lack of news channels, so I wasn’t surprised by the omission of Fox News on these two services.
Below are five services that do let you watch Fox News with one or more of their plans.
