The 2026 MLB regular season is over and the Wild Card playoffs, which will air on NBC and Peacock, start tomorrow. (See our article on how to watch all Wild Card games for free on Peacock.) But Fox will air a large portion of the playoff games in October so heads up if you’re a baseball fan. The Fox One $99 deal could be a big home run for you.
Fox and FS1 will broadcast the National League Division Series, the National League Championship Series, and the entire World Series. And those games will stream on Fox One as well as the individual pay TV channels. If you don’t have a pay TV plan that includes Fox and FS1, the Fox One $99-for-a-year offer is worth a look before it ends Wednesday, Sept. 30.
The regular Fox One price is $199.99 a year. $99 locks in a full year at half off, which comes to about $8.25 a month. That’s cheap insurance for the next month of baseball plus NFL games on Fox, Big Ten football, FS1, your local Fox station, Fox News, Fox Business, and the rest of the Fox lineup.
And the deal will be gone after Wednesday. So you might want to act now to lock in the best price before the Fox games begin. You can see the Fox One deal here.
What Baseball Fans Will Get From Fox One
Fox carries:
• The National League Division Series
• The National League Championship Series
• Every World Series game (Game 1 is Friday, Oct. 23)
Those games also air on FS1 depending on the night. Fox One carries both. (You do not get the American League games on TBS or the Wild Card round on NBC and Peacock. This is a Fox package, not a full MLB package.)
If your team is in the NL or you just want the World Series without hunting around, this is the cleanest and cheapest standalone option. As of today, Fox does not have a monthly discount, not the annual one. (Fox One is $19.99 a month with a three-day free trial. The annual discount rate will give you Fox One for just $8.25 a month for a full year.)
Pay-TV Subscribers: Read This Before Signing Up
If you already pay for cable, satellite, or a live TV streamer that includes Fox channels (YouTube TV, Fubo, DirecTV, Spectrum, Xfinity, Dish, Hulu + Live TV, and most others), you usually do not need to buy Fox One.
Open the Fox One app or go to fox.com, choose TV Provider, and sign in with the same username and password you use for your TV service. If your package includes Fox, FS1, and the rest, the app should unlock for free. That’s the first move. Don’t pay $99 if you already have access.
But if you’re a cord cutter, and you don’t want to miss the 2026 World Series and National League playoff games, this is your chance to get a deal.
Who Should Get the Fox One $99 Deal
• Cord-cutters who don’t have Fox in a bigger bundle
• People who only want Fox sports and news without a $70–$90 live TV plan from cable, satellite or a live streaming service.
• Fans who want one simple app for World Series games plus Sunday NFL on Fox.
Bottom Line
Playoff baseball on Fox starts this week. The discounted year offer ends Sept. 30. If you already have a pay TV login that works, use that. If you don’t, $99 for a year of Fox One is a reasonable price to lock in before the postseason gets expensive and the promo disappears.
