What is FS1 & FS2?

Fox Sports 1 (FS1) and Fox Sports 2 (FS2) began in 2013 and operate out of the Fox Network headquarters, but they are exclusively focused on athletics. FS1 airs almost 5,000 hours of live sporting events each year, including college football, college basketball, NASCAR, Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer. FS2 has a lot of MLB games and soccer games, plus AFL football and women’s basketball.

Watch FS1 & FS2 on DIRECTV STREAM

DIRECTV STREAM has FS1 in each of its four packages, including the Entertainment package, which is the most affordable option. Still, you might want to go with the Ultimate plan or above. This is where you’ll find FS2. Channel packages at the Choice level and up also have regional sports networks (RSNs), including Bally Sports and Marquee Sports Network.

Sports fans will also find collegiate networks ACCN, Big Ten Network and SEC Network in their lineup if they have the Choice plan. Plus, NFL Network, NHL Network, NFL RedZone, NBA TV and CBS Sports Network are available for professional league action. DIRECTV STREAM gives all customers unlimited DVR storage and unlimited streams within their household, along with three out-of-network streams.

Watch FS1 & FS2 on Hulu + Live TV

The Hulu + Live TV streaming plan has 95+ channels, including FS1 and FS2. Even better, you’ll get ESPN Plus for free. You can use your Hulu login to access the app as soon as your Hulu + Live TV subscription is active. The platform delivers all local channels, including Fox, NBC, ABC and CBS, for primetime programming and live sporting events. Other sports channels include ESPN, ESPN2, NFL Network, MLB Network, TNT, Big Ten Network, and SEC Network. Unfortunately, NBA TV is not available.

Like its competitors, Hulu + Live TV lets you expand your channel offerings by paying for additional channel packages. In this case, the Sports Add-on will put NFL RedZone, FanDuel TV, FanDuel Racing, MAVTV, Outdoor Channel, and Sportsman Channel on your channel guide. Other important features include the Hulu video-on-demand library, unlimited cloud DVR and two simultaneous streams.

Watch FS1 & FS2 on Sling TV 

Sling TV offers FS1 on the Sling Blue plan and FS2 with the Sling Blue Sports Extra. This platform is much cheaper than most competitors, but you will have a shorter channel list. Still, it can be a good option for sports fans. The Sling Blue Sports extra also has MLB Network, MLB Network Strike Zone, NHL Network, NBA TV, Tennis Channel and NFL RedZone. To get ESPN, you’ll need Sling Orange. The provider also has a combined Sling Orange & Blue plan with all base channels. Some people can get select local channels on Sling Blue.

Sling TV customers can add premium networks to their package, like STARZ or Discovery Plus, but this will start to negate the lower price point pretty quickly. All plans offer 50 hours of cloud DVR storage and the Sling Orange & Blue plan has 4 simultaneous streams.

During football season, YouTube TV is the only carrier to have NFL Sunday Ticket for out-of-market games.
