Fox One Subscription Streaming Service: Launch Plans & Everything Else We Know
Fox is officially entering its streaming era. CEO Lachlan Murdoch announced on Tuesday, February 4, that the network is planning to launch its own subscription streaming service. About three months later, he gave an update and confirmed that the service will be called Fox One.
Scroll down for everything we know about the streaming service so far and keep checking back for more updates.
When is Fox One launching?
Although an exact launch date for Fox One, which will be run by Pete Distad, has not been confirmed, Murdoch revealed that he’s aiming for a fall football season start date. During a May 12 call with investors, he said the service is expected to launch before the 2025 NFL season, per Variety.
“We will be rolling these things out as we get closer to the fall and the football season,” he reportedly said.
He previously revealed that he hopes for it to be available by the end of 2025, so this would be a few months ahead of schedule. Murdoch said that the app is already in the process of being designed and promised to share more information in the coming months.
How much will Fox’s new streaming service cost?
The specific price point has not been confirmed, but Murdoch promised low costs when the app becomes available. Since he believes expectations will be “modest,” he promised, “We’re going to price the service accordingly.”
Murdoch added, “[We] don’t expect to have any exclusive rights costs or additional incremental rights costs, so the price to create and distribute the platform will be “relatively low.”
In his May update, he added that the pricing “will be healthy,” adding, “It will not be a discounted price.” The streamer is aimed “at the cordless community,” with Murdoch noting, “We don’t want to lose a traditional cable subscriber to Fox One.”
What content will it include?
The network’s streaming option will include its sports and news content, according to Murdoch. Sports and news are the highest-rated content in the traditional TV bundle, and Murdoch doesn’t plan on converting traditional cable customers into streamers.
“We’re huge supporters of the traditional cable bundle, and we always will be,” Murdoch said. “But having said that, we do want to reach consumers wherever they are, and there’s a large population, obviously, that are now outside of the traditional cable bundle.”
At the Morgan Stanley conference, he added, “We brought Pete in and Pete’s focus at Venu [Sports] and now at our venture is new subscribers that are outside of the bundle.”
All of Fox’s content will be available to those who pay for the subscription service, with hopes that those who watch Fox via regular cable will continue to keep those services.
What happened to the Venu streaming service?
Fox previously had plans to launch a sports streaming app called Venu with Warner Bros. Discovery and Disney. However, in January 2025, the networks announced that they would not be moving forward with the service.
“After careful consideration, we have collectively agreed to discontinue the Venu Sports joint venture and not launch the streaming service,” they said in a joint statement. “In an ever-changing marketplace, we determined that it was best to meet the evolving demands of sports fans by focusing on existing products and distribution channels. We are proud of the work that has been done on Venu to date and grateful to the Venu staff, whom we will support through this transition period.”
The three companies were planning on pooling their extensive sports content and launching it on Venu, but dealt with legal hurdles involving Fubo. The legal issues pushed back the expected September 2024 launch date of Venu, and eventually led to the project being canceled completely.

I'd like to get Fox News only, and get it for a minimal price. I don't need movies, CNN, etc.

So happy and can’t wait. I’m tired of paying for cable just so I can watch Fox News, uhh 🙄 cable is still expensive and paying for a simple streaming service is much cheaper.

Include FOX News on the FOX Nation app. Then I will buy the app and many others may also. Makes complete sense.

I live in a remote area with no cable but last year my utility company installed fiber optic lines everywhere they service electric and gas lines. My only option is OTA and now streaming. This is the only way I can get Fox News unless I pay Dish or DirectTV for their full streaming services when I only want to watch Fox News.

We have watched Fox News for 20 years. We have left them and gone to the Newsmax streaming app. $4.99 per month. We have written letters to Fox News, but they don’t really care. With Hulu and Amazon Prime, etc. we have all we need. We really wanted Fox, but their ego is so huge they have never offered a streaming platform.

Fox Nation does not have Fox News live. You can see some Fox News shows on Fox Nation on the day AFTER they air.
