What is coming up on the Fox channel in May 2026?

Fox’s May 2026 schedule marks the peak of the network’s spring reality wave and a heavy reliance on high-stakes sports as it bridges toward the summer season. Following the late-April conclusion of several major dramas, the month is anchored by the full-throttle momentum of its "reality dominance" block, including new episodes of Gordon Ramsay’s MasterChef (Season 16) and the high-energy game show The Floor (Season 5) on Wednesday nights. On Mondays, the testing of America’s wits continues with The 1% Club and The Quiz with Balls, while Tuesday nights remain dedicated to the rural romance of Farmer Wants a Wife (Season 4) and the survivalist thrills of Running Wild with Bear Grylls.

The network’s "Animation Domination" lineup undergoes a mid-month shift, as staples like Family Guy, Bob’s Burgers, and American Dad! continue their runs until May 17, when the block transitions into seasonal encores and special event programming. Sports fans take center stage throughout the month with Fox’s extensive live coverage of the UFL regular season on Friday nights and a packed slate of MLB Saturday Baseball marquee matchups. The adrenaline peaks on the track as well, with the NASCAR Cup Series rolling through May with high-profile races including the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway and the legendary Coca-Cola 600 on Memorial Day weekend, cementing Fox's status as the destination for live competition heading into June.

What is Fox?

Part of the programming division of Fox Corporation, Fox can refer to the collective brand of channels itself, but Fox can also mean the local channel that many TV providers include in their base plans, known as 'the Fox channel'.

Where can I watch it for free?

You can watch Fox through Fubo and DirecTV, and both offer a five-day free trial for new customers. It's available through all of Fubo's and DirecTV's streaming packages.

Local Fox channels can also be available through Sling TV plans, but do vary based on location.

YouTube TV also carries the channel in local areas.

If you are out of the country and would like to watch an upcoming Fox channel content on your favoured streaming service, you can do so by bypassing geo-restrictions by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

Frequently asked questions

Fubo (formerly fubo TV) has a number of plans: Pro, Elite, Deluxe and Sports, with a Latino package at a fraction of the cost and for a lot less channels. Add-ons are also available, if you wish to add more sports and entertainment to your package.

No, Fubo is a completely different and independent streaming provider to Amazon.

While Fubo has plenty of sports options, it lacks the Warner Bros. Discovery channels, meaning you can't watch TNT, TBS, and TruTV, which are crucial for some MLB and NBA games and other popular content.

Furthermore, due to recent developments, Fubo have also recently lost rights to the NBC channels - a huge drawback for a sports-centric service when NBC carries popular sporting events such as Sunday Night Football and English Premier League soccer.

Yes, payments are taken monthly unless you opt for a quarterly payment setup.

Yes, Fubo is available to use on a Fire Stick, as well as a number of other devices, including Roku.

Yes, you can watch Fubo on your television, by installing the app onto your Smart TV or via a web browser that's connected to your TV.

Yes, you can watch up to 10 simultaneous streams from your home location on various devices connected to your home Wi-Fi, and on three additional mobile devices from various locations away from your home.

Prices tend to rise annually, but Fubo does operate a one-year price lock guarantee.

No, Fubo doesn't give refunds for this, but doesn't lock you in to annual contract either.

Fubo could be down due to a number of reasons, such as internet connectivity, app problems or even a service outage. 

Check the Wi-Fi or home broadband you're connected to to see if there's an issue there. You can try updating or reinstalling the app, as well as checking there isn't an electrical outage in the area by testing other equipment or, specifically, other devices or apps that connect to the same internet.

There's a good chance your internet speed isn't fast enough, especially if you are experiencing buffering while streaming. 

Check there's nothing blocking or interfering with the internet hub or router, so the signal isn't being disrupted. 

Optionally, you can lower the picture quality if you are experiencing buffering, which may help it to run smoother.

This could be because the service is geo-restricted, meaning you cannot use it outside of the United States or area you are trying to access specific local channels. 

Using a VPN is a way to circumvent the issue, as Fubo is generally region and country specific.
