Fox One streaming service just announced — here's when it's launching and what's included
Fox will be releasing its own steaming service, dubbed Fox One, and it should debut in time before the start of the NFL season kicks offs in September. Fox owns a multitude of channels, and Fox One will be a hub for all those services including Fox Sports, Fox news programing and its TV shows. "FOX One is designed to reach outside of the pay-TV bundle and deliver all the best FOX branded content directly to viewers wherever they are," the CEO of Fox One, Pete Distad said in a press release. In a Variety report, CEO Lachlan Murdoch, son of Rupert Murdoch said Fox One would be "'holistic of all of our content, sports and news" that is needed to reach "a large population outside the cable bundle." Fox hasn't listed everything that will be available on Fox One but here's a list of channels that will have content on the streamer: The big draw for most people who pick up the service will be all of the sports channels, especially since Fox offers a lot of NFL games and the Big Ten NCAA conference, which stretches from coast to coast now. Fox Sports also broadcasts some MLB games and LIV Golf events. Between this new service and the recently announced update to the ESPN streamer from Disney, it's clear that this a fallout from demise of Venu Sports, which was supposed to combine sports offerings from Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery. That plan was scuttled in January. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. As for Fox One's price, there is still no information about the potential monthly cost for Fox One. In February, Murdoch said that it would be "modest" and that Fox would "price the service accordingly." Today, in the Variety report, he said that Fox has "modest" expectations for the service and that the cost will be "relatively low." Disney hasn't announced pricing for the updated ESPN yet, but for comparison DirectTV's MySports starts at $69 a month. YouTubeTV, which airs Fox Sports and other sports channels with its multiview option, will run you $82 a month, and that's before adding on packages for the MLB or NFL. Anything lower than those prices would be a boon, though you'd be locked to Fox's offerings. The Fox announcement did not give a specific launch date but did say that it is "on track" to launch before the NFL and College football seasons. The NFL kicks off on September 4 this year, while "Week Zero" starts on August 23 for college football. So, we expect Fox One will likely launch in early or mid-August.
