I love watching Fox Deportes regardless of my Spanish language ability. The channel offers me access to an incredible variety of sports including soccer, American football, baseball, NASCAR, and much more. As a cord-cutter, I have several options to stream this content. Let me share what I’ve learned about accessing this channel without cable.
In a hurry? Fox Deportes is a bit harder to find than, say, ESPN. But it is still widely supported. These are our favorite streaming services that offer Fox Deportes:
- Fubo: The best streaming service for international sports also provides 150+ well-selected channels. Fubo allows you to try out its service with a free trial.
- DIRECTV STREAM: Get a great channel lineup with the best selection of RSNs in the industry. A 5-day free trial is now available for DIRECTV STREAM.
- Hulu + Live TV: This total entertainment streaming service provides a great on-demand selection and all the essential live TV channels with a 3-day free trial.
If you can’t watch your favorite sports because of your location, get ExpressVPN to access the content you deserve.

FAQ
Does Thursday Night Football air on Fox Deportes?
Fox had the rights to simulcast Thursday Night Football (TNF) games through the 2021-2022 season. However, starting in September 2022, the rights to those games will be shifting to Amazon Prime. Therefore, Fox Deportes will not broadcast TNF contests going forward. Of course, it’s likely that there will still be a way to watch these games in Spanish after the new rights deal takes effect.
