What FOX broadcasts on NFL Sunday in 2026
FOX holds the NFC package for Sunday afternoons in 2026 — the games involving NFC home teams air on FOX. That’s roughly half of every Sunday afternoon window, alternating with CBS (which holds the AFC package).
FOX also carries roughly half of the Wild Card and Divisional postseason games, plus rotating Super Bowls. Thursday Night Football moved to Prime Video in 2022, so FOX no longer carries TNF.
The five legitimate streaming paths
Pick your path:
- OTA antenna (free): FOX broadcasts free over the air. A $30 antenna gets crystal-clear HD FOX in most metros. In-market games only.
- FOX Sports app: Free to download but requires a participating TV provider login (cable, vMVPD, etc.) to authenticate. No standalone purchase.
- vMVPD bundle ($82.99+/mo): YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, FuboTV — all carry FOX plus the other major broadcasters.
- FOX One: FOX’s standalone streaming offering, includes FOX broadcast + FS1 + FS2.
- Slam Dunk Zone ($39.95/mo flat): Carries FOX, CBS, NBC, ESPN, NFL Network, and 4,990+ other channels in one membership.
Why SDZ is the cheapest multi-network path
If FOX is the only thing you watch, an antenna is genuinely free and works great for in-market games. But most fans want FOX plus CBS plus the Sunday/Monday/Thursday night windows.
Slam Dunk Zone at $39.95 covers FOX, CBS, NBC, ESPN, and NFL Network for $43/mo less than YouTube TV ($82.99). 5,000+ HD channels total, 6 simultaneous device streams, AccuViewTV 24/7 support, no contract.
