As of now, the FX channel is part of the lower-tier package (Plus) which costs about $55 dollars per month. Once you’ve ensured that you have access to the correct TVNOW package, all you need to do is log into the platform and you’ll be able to watch all the FX channels LIVE and even record shows using the Cloud DVR feature.
How to Steam FX Networks / FXNOW on FuboTV
If you’re a sports fan, chances are you’re already paying for a FuboTV subscription. But a less known fact is the fact that every FX channel (FX, FX+, FXX, and FXM) is already watchable via the Standard package ($59 / month package). If you’re already paying for it, you can simply watch these channels as part of the broader FuboTV interface. Just log into your account and scroll down through the list of LIVE channels. Important: You will not be able to stream specific shows using a Standard Fubu membership. You can only watch the live channels (FX, FX+ FXX, and FXM)
How to Stream FX Networks / FXNOW on Sling TV
In case you’re a Sling TV subscriber, you’ll be pleased to know that the FX channel fleet is also a part of their channel lineup. Sling TV is the cheapest option out of the bunch if your TV supplier doesn’t give you access to an FX membership. As of now, the FX lineup is part of both the Orange and Blue packages. You don’t need to get both, just pick one. You can find the FX channels by accessing your Sling interface and using the Guide tab from the ribbon menu at the top. The downside is that you don’t have on-demand access to the FXNow platform – you can only watch the LIVE channels as you’d normally do on Traditional TV cable.

Youtube TV is another great option if you’re looking to stream the full lineup of FX channels available. You can even do on-demand streaming by using the YouTube FX add-on and you also have the option to record a lot of live TV time. The major drawback is the price – As of now, YouTube TV is the most expensive option of the bunch. If you have access to the FX addon, you can watch on-demand shows from the Library tab. Else, you will be restricted to using the FX Live channels (FX, FX+, FXX, and FXM).
How to Stream FX Networks / FXNOW on Hulu TV
If you’re already a Hulu subscriber, it might make sense to invest in the Live TV package since you receive access to the entire FX library of channels.
