What is coming up on Fox Sports 1 (FS1) in May 2026?

In May 2026, Fox Sports 1 (FS1) is bringing a diverse and action-packed slate of spring sports directly to your screen, anchored by major league matchups and the network's staple daily studio shows. Baseball fans can catch plenty of MLB on FS1 action throughout the month, featuring exciting regular-season clashes like the Seattle Mariners visiting the Houston Astros on May 11, and the Tampa Bay Rays taking on the Baltimore Orioles on May 27. Soccer enthusiasts also have plenty to look forward to, as FS1 continues its broadcast of the Major League Soccer (MLS) regular season with key weekend matchups, including Nashville SC taking on D.C. United and the LA Galaxy facing off against the Seattle Sounders.

Beyond the diamond and the pitch, FS1's May schedule leans heavily into spring football and stock car racing. The United Football League (UFL) is deep into the back half of its 2026 regular season, with FS1 slated to host pivotal primetime matchups like the Orlando Storm battling the Houston Gamblers on May 10. Racing fans can also tune in for weekend coverage of the ARCA Menards Series, keeping the momentum going for grassroots and developmental stock car racing. When live events aren't actively taking over the broadcast, FS1's weekday lineup remains heavily driven by its popular sports talk and debate programming. You can expect the usual daily doses of hot takes, interviews, and analysis from flagship daytime studio shows like First Things First, The Herd with Colin Cowherd, and Speak, which dominate the morning and afternoon blocks to keep you caught up on all the latest sports narratives.
