FS1 (Fox Sports 1) is a cable sports channel with no over-the-air signal and no permanently free legal stream, so the cheapest way to watch it live without cable in 2026 is Fox One, the network’s own app, at $19.99 a month with a 7-day free trial. FS1 also comes bundled with Sling Blue, Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV and DirecTV Stream if you want a fuller channel lineup. If you only need one game or one fight, start a free trial, watch, then cancel before it renews.
Last updated: July 2026. We checked the live FS1 lineup and each streaming service’s current price and free-trial terms in July 2026 before publishing.
What Sports Are on FS1
FS1 is where Fox puts its live sports overflow, so the schedule leans on combat sports, baseball, college football and motorsports rather than the marquee NFL games that stay on the main Fox broadcast network. Knowing what actually airs on the channel helps you decide whether a $19.99 app or a full live TV bundle is the better buy.
- UFC: pay-per-view prelims and UFC Fight Night cards, the free-to-subscribers portion of most fight weekends.
- MLB: regular-season games plus a share of the postseason, including Division Series and League Championship Series coverage alongside Fox’s Saturday baseball.
- College football: Big Ten and Big 12 conference matchups through the fall, including primetime games.
- NASCAR: Cup Series races, qualifying and practice, plus weekday shows like NASCAR Race Hub.
- Soccer: international fixtures that can include Champions League and USL matches, with more added around major tournaments.
- Studio shows: daily talk led by The Herd with Colin Cowherd and First Things First.
Because the lineup rotates by season, check the official FS1 live schedule on FoxSports.com before you pay for anything, so you know your game or fight is actually on the channel that week.
Fox One: Fox’s New Streaming App
Fox One is the direct-to-consumer app Fox launched in August 2025, and it is the cheapest standalone way to get FS1. A subscription runs $19.99 a month or $199.99 a year, and new users get a 7-day free trial (Fox Sports). One login carries your local Fox station, FS1, FS2, Fox Deportes, Big Ten Network and Fox News live, which covers most of what a Fox-focused sports fan watches.
The trade-off is that Fox One only carries Fox-owned channels. There is no ESPN, no TNT and no NBC, so if the event you want is on another network you still need a broader service. For FS1, NASCAR, UFC prelims and Big Ten football, though, it is the lowest-cost front door. You can sign up and manage the plan directly on Fox’s own streaming site, and the app installs on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Xbox, phones and the web.
Live TV Services That Carry FS1
If you want FS1 plus channels Fox does not own, a live TV streaming bundle is the way to go. Every major service below carries FS1 in its base or sports tier. Prices reflect July 2026 rates and can shift with promotions and local broadcast fees.
| Service | Cheapest FS1 tier | Free trial | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sling Blue | $45.99/mo (50% off first month) | No standing trial ($4.99 day pass available) | Cheapest full bundle with FS1 |
| Fubo (Sports + News) | $55.99/mo ($45.99 first month) | 5 days | Broad sports lineup and World Cup coverage |
| DirecTV Stream (Entertainment) | $89.99/mo ($59.99 first month) | 5 days | Big channel count plus unlimited DVR |
| Hulu + Live TV | $89.99/mo | No standing trial | FS1 plus Disney+ and ESPN in one bill |
| YouTube TV | $82.99/mo base | Offered periodically | 100-plus channels and unlimited DVR |
Sling Blue is the least expensive full bundle that includes FS1, though your final price can climb a few dollars once local broadcast fees are added (Sling). Fubo and DirecTV Stream are the two services here with a real free trial, so they are worth starting if you want a no-cost week of FS1.
The Cheapest Way to Watch FS1
The single cheapest ongoing option is Fox One at $19.99 a month, since it puts FS1 on any device without a cable login. Among full live TV bundles, Sling Blue at $45.99 a month is the lowest, and it is the better pick if you also need channels Fox does not own.
There is no antenna path and no permanently free legal FS1 stream, so ignore any site promising a free 24/7 feed. The honest free windows are short and legitimate: the Fox One 7-day trial and the Fubo and DirecTV Stream 5-day trials all let you watch FS1 free for a few days if you cancel before the renewal date. For a single race or fight, Sling’s $4.99 one-day pass can be cheaper than a full month if you time it to the event.
Watching FS1 on Your Devices
FS1 streams through whichever service you subscribe to, and the setup is the same on every platform: install the app, sign in, and open the FS1 channel. On Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV and Xbox, download the Fox One app or your live TV service’s app from the store, log in, and FS1 appears in the live guide. In a web browser, sign in at foxsports.com/live or your service’s own site and play the channel directly. On a phone or tablet, the Fox One and FOX Sports apps for iOS and Android stream FS1 once you enter your subscription or TV provider login, and you can cast to a bigger screen with Chromecast or AirPlay. For other channels and cord-cutting options, our guide to watching live TV without cable covers the rest of the major networks.
