Fox One Streaming Service to Launch Before NFL Season Kicks Off

The new NFL season is just around the corner, and Fox is giving sports fans another way to see the game with Fox One, the company's new subscription streaming platform. The service will launch on Aug. 21 with a price tag of $20 per month, or $200 annually, the company announced Monday.

Fox's complete TV portfolio will be available on Fox One, and sports fans will be able to stream MLB and NFL games that air on the network. Fox News Channel, Fox Nation, Fox Sports, B1G, FS1, FS2, local Fox stations and the Fox Network are part of the programming, along with other brand channels and content.

According to a press release, live and video on-demand content will be seamlessly integrated in a "cohesive experience."

"In bringing together the full power of the FOX content portfolio in one service, we have created a great value proposition and user experience that will appeal to the cord-cutter and cord-never fans currently not served by conventional pay TV packages," Pete Distad, CEO, Fox's direct-to-consumer platform, said in a statement.

Subscribers can bundle Fox One and Fox Nation for $25 a month. If you decide to purchase the annual plan at the time of launch, you'll lock in a price equivalent to $20 per month.

The news comes ahead of Disney's launch of its new standalone ESPN streaming service slated for this fall. Fox was originally set to partner with the House of Mouse and Warner Bros. Discovery on Venu Sports, but the venture was shuttered in January, with each company pursuing its own streaming projects.
