I love Fox Sports 2 (FS2) for finding new sports or catching up on college games, especially as it’s an easy channel to watch online without cable. I’ll explain how to stream FS2 live with Fubo, DIRECTV STREAM, Sling TV, or Hulu + Live TV.
In a hurry? There are several ways to get FS2 without cable — these are the ones I recommend:
- 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.
- Sling TV: This low-cost service allows you to select just the channel lineup you want. Save 50% on Sling TV now.
If you can’t watch your favorite sports because of your location, get ExpressVPN to access the content you deserve.

How to Watch FS2 Live Without Cable
FS2 is available on most major streaming services. Once you’ve signed up for one, download its free app onto your streaming device, log in, and select FS2 to start watching the channel live.
Fubo (Pro plan), Sling TV (Blue + Sports Extra), DIRECTV STREAM (Premier plan), and Hulu + Live TV all work with common streaming devices so you can watch on Android and iOS smartphones, smart TVs (eg Google, Samsung, LG), Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, and web browsers. Some, like Hulu, work on gaming systems too (eg, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch).
Service | Price | Channels | Reviews |
$79.99/month | 150+ | Fubo | |
$40.00/month* | 40+ | Sling | |
$82.99/month | 95+ | Hulu + Live TV | |
$169.99/month | 185+ | DIRECTV | |
$72.99/month | 100+ | YouTube TV |
DIRECTV STREAM and Sling TV don’t offer FS2 in their base plans, which makes sense considering FS2 is often an overflow channel to Fox and FS1. But upgrading to their higher packages seems expensive if all you predominantly want is FS2 — I suggest going with one of the cheaper service options or looking at all the channels each plan comes with to decide whether the upgrade is worth it.
Every service provides an unlimited cloud-based DVR (Sling’s is restricted to 50 hours) and allows streaming on multiple screens at once, at home or away.
Other Ways To Stream FS2
Fox’s official platforms provide alternative ways to watch FS2, which I’ve found useful when I’ve wanted to watch sports on the go:
- FoxSports.com: You can watch the FS2 live stream on the Fox Sports website. You have to log in with a TV provider, meaning you’ll still need to sign up for a streaming service — but this can be a quick and convenient way to watch.
- Fox Sports App: Fox’s app offers a live stream of Fox Sports content, including FS2, with the bonus of adding stats, instant scores, and alerts. As with the website, you still need to sign in with a streaming subscription. But if you have one, the app is worth checking out for the extras and ease of watching while traveling.

What Sports Does FS2 Broadcast?
Fox Sports is a division of the Fox Corporation and includes Fox Sports 1 (FS1), Fox Sports 2 (FS2), and the Fox Sports Radio Network. FS2 often features college events, women’s football, horse racing, soccer, and auto racing.
What’s the difference between FS1 and FS2?
FS1 airs the most popular live sporting events, while FS2 tends to air lesser known or overflow events. For example, FS1 might be broadcasting a FIFA World Cup qualifying match while FS2 is showing a delayed PBA event. FS2 also rebroadcasts repeats of shows first aired on FS1. This is why streaming services that offer FS2 will pair it with FS1.
Types of auto racing often shown on FS2 include:
- Motorcycle
- Drag (NHRA)
- NASCAR (eg, Xfinity Series qualifying)
FS2 is home to many soccer events; in the past I’ve seen:
- CONCACAF Gold Cup
- Canadian Premier League
- FIFA U-20 World Cup
- UEFA Nations League
- Major League
- Copa América
Some of the less common sports I’ve found on FS2 are:
- Horse racing (eg, Dubai World Cup and Belmont Stakes)
- Boxing
- Surfing
- Major League Rugby
- Roller Derby
- Wrestling
- Off-road racing
- Extreme sports
