Install FOX Sports on FireStick: This guide breaks down, step by step, how to get the FOX Sports app installed on pretty much any Fire TV device out there—whether it’s the humble FireStick Lite (been there), the standard FireStick HD, the buttery-smooth FireStick 4K, the “why is this so fast?” 4K Max, or the Fire TV Cube that low-key acts like it’s running NASA software—so by the end, you’ll be watching live sports without the usual “why is this harder than it should be?”
What Is FOX Sports?
FOX Sports is basically the go-to spot when the craving hits for live games, quick highlights, breaking sports news, and those surprisingly addictive “exclusive” clips—covering the heavy hitters like the NFL, NBA, MLB, and a bunch more. It’s perfect for anyone who lives for that live-game adrenaline, but also loves replays, highlight marathons at 2 AM, and deep-dive documentaries that make sports feel weirdly cinematic (and yeah, sometimes emotional). If a FireStick is the home base for entertainment, FOX Sports is one of those apps that just belongs there—simple, stacked, and honestly hard to skip if sports are even remotely a personality trait.

Sports App Features 2026
The FOX Sports app lets you stream all that sports goodness on pretty much any compatible device as long as it’s hooked up to the internet (because of course it won’t work without Wi-Fi—nothing fun ever does). It’s an official app owned by FOX Corporation, not some sketchy knockoff with 37 ads per click, and the best part is it’s easy to grab—straight from the Amazon App Store for Fire TV devices or the Google Play Store for Android—quick download, a couple taps, and boom: sports on demand.
The app features a wide range of content, including:
- Live TV broadcasts
- On-demand videos
- Pay-per-view (PPV) events
You’ll get access to programming from:
- FOX Sports 1 (FS1)
- FOX Sports 2 (FS2)
- FOX Deportes
- Big Ten Network
- FOX Soccer Plus
These channels cover a wide variety of sports, including basketball, soccer, racing, cricket, golf, and athletics.
Is FOX Sports Free For Streaming?
The FOX Sports app doesn’t charge anything to download (love that), but don’t get too excited yet—full access is locked behind that classic “prove you pay for TV” wall, meaning a TV provider login is required, either through cable or an IPTV service that actually includes FOX Sports channels. Once the account is verified, the gates open and it stops teasing—letting you stream the good stuff like:
- Live sports events and channels
- Sports documentaries and original shows
- Pregame/post-game analysis
- Player interviews and more
FOX Sports also ranks among our top recommended apps for Amazon FireStick users.

Why FOX Sports Is Worth Installing

- FOX Deportes
- Big Ten Network
- FOX Soccer Plus
