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.

How are you subscribing? Again, I know of no direct subscription for the regular Fox News, only Fox Nation. If you have a TV service with Fox News, then the app should work, but I don't know if it offers a live feed. Some cable/satellite services may offer streaming on devices (like Xfinity Stream), but outside your home network, some channels may not be available.

Basically, it's up to Fox News as to how and where you can watch them live.
