        Hi, Gary28 

        Thanks for reaching out.

        I understand that you're having some trouble with getting Fox News on your Roku device. 

        To activate Fox News on your Roku, you'll need to find the Fox News app in the Roku Channel Store, add it to your Roku device, and then sign in with your TV provider credentials.

        For more help, you can reach out to the Fox News support team.

        Hope this helps!

        Thanks,
        Roku Community Team.

    Currently, the Fox News app is a TV Everywhere app. You must have a subscription to a cable, satellite, or steaming TV service (YouTube TV, Fubo, etc...) where Fox News is part of your package. There is currently no standalone subscription to the regular Fox News Channel. The closest is Fox Nation, which is mostly second-hand Fox News.

     I pay for the Fox News Channel, why can't I watch it LIVE?

    I have tried over and over to get the fox news channel to work. I went to the Fox News Channel and they suggested I enter a seven letter and digit code but there is no place to enter it.

      Are you talking about this page?

      https://www.foxnews.com/connect

      That page is slightly confusing, but once you select your provider from the drop down list, then a box will appear allowing you to enter the code.

      It would be more clear if they said enter the code below the place where you select the provider.

      Hi Enzo11, Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely check out watchnewslive. It’s always good to have multiple options, especially when some apps require subscriptions or cable credentials. Appreciate you sharing that! menu Greggs

        It's completely free and doesn't require you to log in or register, you can watch it anytime, besides Fox News it also has many other attractive news channels like CNN, MSNBC. I also quite like the top news section which always updates the latest news regularly
