FOX does not use one national local-channel number. The correct number depends on your local FOX affiliate, television market and provider. Enter your service-address ZIP code in the provider's current lineup tool for the most reliable result.

How to find FOX on DIRECTV

1. Open DIRECTV's current channel lineup or on-screen guide.
2. Enter the ZIP code and county for the service address.
3. Search for FOX or your affiliate's station call sign.

DIRECTV's affiliate guide confirms that FOX channel numbers vary by market. Availability can also change during a local station carriage dispute, so check the live lineup when a station is unexpectedly missing.

FOX is not FOX News or FS1

The local FOX broadcast station carries local news, network entertainment and selected sports. FOX News Channel is a national cable network on DIRECTV channel 360. FS1 is on channel 219, and FS2 is on channel 618. Finding one of those channels does not confirm that the local FOX affiliate is available.

Other ways to watch local FOX

• Antenna: A local FOX affiliate may be available free over the air if its signal reaches your address.
• Cable: The number depends on the cable company and city.
• Live TV streaming: Local FOX coverage varies by service and market, so verify the ZIP before ordering.
• FOX One and provider apps: Access and local feeds depend on current eligibility and location. Check the service before relying on it for a specific event.

If FOX is missing

Make sure the guide is using the correct home ZIP, confirm the package includes local channels, restart the receiver or app, and check for a station dispute. Antenna viewers can rescan after repositioning the antenna.
