The FOX Sports app is compatible with Samsung Smart TVs (2018 and above) running Tizen OS. Visit the Smart Hub Store to get the FOX Sports app. After the installation, you can activate the FOX Sports app on your Samsung Smart TV by signing in with your TV provider. Then, you can watch FS1, FS2, FOX Deportes, Big Ten Network, FOX College Sports, etc.
If you have an older Samsung TV, visit the FOX Sports website using a web browser and stream its content directly. Otherwise, install the FOX Sports app on your smartphone and use the Cast and AirPlay methods to watch live games.
FOX Sports is also available on live TV streaming services like Sling TV, fubo TV, Vidgo, DirecTV Stream, YouTube TV, and Hulu + Live TV. Therefore, you can watch FOX Sports without cable by installing these apps on your Samsung TV.
