Fox News is consistently one of the most-watched 24/7 news channels in the US. Whether you’re trying to watch Fox and Friends, Hannity, or The Ingraham Angle, you can watch Fox News live on Roku. You don’t need a pricey cable subscription to get it, so now is the right time to cut the cord on traditional cable and use your Roku to get all of your favorite cable TV channels, including Fox News.
Let’s explore your top 4 options to get Fox News on Roku at a low cost.
Use a Cord-Cutting Service to Watch Fox News Live on Roku
With more than 60 million monthly users, Roku is the world’s leading streaming media device, and it offers a wealth of apps for live TV and on-demand streaming. You can download and install apps for Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, but you can also use several cord-cutting “skinny bundle” services that offer popular cable TV channels at a low cost compared to traditional cable.
Although Fox News is extremely popular, it’s also not available on every cord-cutting service on the market. The following services are the ones we’ve found that offer Fox News in one of their subscription packages:
There’s also a Fox News Roku channel you can install that will let you catch up on episodes from top shows. You can’t use the Fox News Roku channel to watch live TV outside of major news events, however, so you’ll need to sign up to one of the cord-cutting services to get live streaming access.
Now, let’s explore each of these “skinny bundle” services in more detail.
fuboTV

If you’re a sports fan who loves to fill in the gaps with fair and balanced TV news coverage, fuboTV is going to be an excellent choice.
Packages and channels
FuboTV has a sports-centric approach to TV. While you’ll be able to watch Fox News live on Roku as part of its 3 main plans, you’ll also get more sports channels than any other service for the price that you pay.
Pro 7-day free trial $69.99/ month | 138 channels 10 simultaneous streams 1,000 hours of DVR space | TRY FREE |
Elite 7-day free trial $79.99/ month | 202 channels 54 more channels with fubo Extra 12 more channels with fubo News Plus 10 simultaneous streams 1,000 hours of DVR space | TRY FREE |

The entry-level Pro plan, for example, carries Fox News and up to 129 channels, depending on your location. Those channels include popular sports options like NBC Sports Network, Fox Sports, NBA TV, Big Ten Network, beIN Sports and more. You also get a great selection of entertainment channels, like AMC, TBS, FX and more. And just in case you want to balance out your Fox News with a little bit of “fake news”, CNN is also included.
FuboTV is also one of the few streaming services with Fox Business, making it an all-around great option for Fox fans. And if you need local channels, such as ABC, CBS, or NBC, all of fuboTV’s packages carry those in many regions.
And should you need more channels, there are a dozen channel add-ons to choose from, including Sports Plus with NFL RedZone for $10.99/month.
Features and extras
Although fuboTV is already cheaper than most cable packages while offering just as many, if not more channels for the price, it may appear to be a bit on the expensive side when compared to an option like Sling TV.
However, fuboTV has a wide range of additional features and extras that make it one of the best options on the market.
All 3 English-language plans include 1,000 hours of cloud DVR storage. There are no time restrictions, so you can record shows from Fox News and most other channels and keep them until you want to delete them, or until you run out of DVR space.
Streaming on up to 10 devices at home comes standard with all 3 plans, which is more than most cord-cutting services.
Finally, fuboTV is, of course, available as a Roku app, but you can also use it on a large number of other devices. There are apps for iOS and Android devices, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and it can be streamed directly with most modern web browsers.
Hulu + Live TV

You’ve probably heard of Hulu, but you may not be familiar with its Live TV service. Hulu + Live TV is a cord-cutting option that simplifies internet TV while offering an excellent user experience.
Channels and packages
You’ll find just one channel package (sort of) available through Hulu + Live TV. For $69.99, you’ll get Fox News and 75+ other channels, depending on your location. Hulu + Live TV carries local broadcast affiliates for ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC in most areas, and a few dozen other sports and entertainment channels.
The second option is Hulu (No Ads) + Live TV for $75.99/month. However, the ad-free component of that plan only applies to Hulu’s on-demand library. Live TV and events will still have commercials. But the good thing is that it lets you download content for offline viewing, which you can’t do with the standard plan.
Features and extras
We already mentioned one of the most important Hulu + Live TV features: the inclusion of the entire on-demand library. But this service also has a huge set of extra features that make it an attractive offer.
Both pricing plans include unlimited cloud DVR storage and recordings don’t expire for 9 months.
Hulu also includes 2 simultaneous streams per account. For $9.99/month, the Unlimited Screens add-on bumps things up to an unlimited number of devices at home plus 3 more on the go.
Hulu + Live TV has a well-regarded Roku channel, but also works on a large number of other devices, including the Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android phones and tablets, some smart TVs, and other streaming devices like the Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV.
DirecTV STREAM

DirecTV STREAM rounds off our list of major cord-cutting services as a viable option, but not the best option.
Channels and packages
For those considering this well-known service, you can choose from 4 streaming packages, that range from 65+ to 140+ live channels and on-demand libraries with up to 65,000 titles. The four plans are:
- Entertainment ($69.99/month)
- Choice ($89.99/month)
- Ultimate ($104.99/month)
- Premier ($149.99/month)
The Fox News Channel is included with all the plans, so your decision will depend on what else you’re looking for.
Features and extras
While it was previously known for its limited features, such as a paltry 20 hours of cloud storage, DirecTV STREAM now leads the industry with what it offers.
All plans come standard with 20 simultaneous streams at home, plus 3 more on the go, and unlimited cloud DVR storage, with recordings lasting 9 months.
There is also a long list of premium channels add-ons available, like Cinemax, HBO Max, and Showtime.
You can install the DirecTV STREAM channel to start watching Fox News live on Roku. The service also has a large number of other apps available for different streaming devices.
YouTube TV

Everyone’s heard of YouTube, but not everyone knows about their live TV streaming service, YouTube TV. It’s a solid entry in the market—if you can get it, that is.
Channels and packages
YouTube TV takes a page out of Hulu + Live TV’s playbook. Instead of multiple plans to choose from, there’s just one option for $64.99/month. It gets you 85+ channels in most regions where YouTube TV is available, including Fox News. You’ll also get Fox Business and a few dozen other must-have sports, news, and entertainment channels.
YouTube TV is now available throughout the United States. You can check what channels are available in your area by entering your zip code on YouTube TV’s welcome page.
Features and extras
One of the main reasons to sign up for YouTube TV is the features that it offers. They’re among the best in the market.
YouTube TV offers users the option to create up to 6 individual profiles. Each profiler user gets plenty of benefits as well, including channel customization and their own cloud DVR storage.
Speaking of cloud DVR, YouTube TV offers unlimited cloud DVR storage. Recordings expire after 9 months, but each user profile can record as much as they want until videos start expiring 9 months later.
YouTube TV lets you watch on up to 3 screens at once, and for an extra $19.99/month, the 4K Plus add-on increases that to unlimited screens at home.
YouTube TV’s Roku app is easy to use and a go-to option for fans of the Fox News Channel.

Playstation Vue is gone. Youtube TV has hiked the price to $65. Looks like we are running out of cheap solutions.
I don’t understand why we cant get Fox TV on the Roku. The app is there you pay $5.99 and you still need a provider.
This is my complaint, too! I am on a fixed/seniors income and I just cannot keep adding and adding! Heck, I might as well have stayed with Dish!
