About FOX Sports
FOX Sports is the multi-platform live sports and sports entertainment programming division of Fox Corporation. Its work combines live event coverage, studio analysis, sports journalism and digital publishing for audiences across broadcast television, cable and streaming platforms. The business serves the United States, with additional North American and international sports licensing activity.
The division formally launched on August 12, 1994, following the December 1993 agreement securing television rights to the NFL’s National Football Conference. Football remains a central part of its programming, alongside baseball, motorsports, college sports and international soccer. Its production portfolio includes regular-season competition, championship events, pregame shows and daily sports discussion programmes.
Programming and production
FOX Sports produces NFL coverage, including FOX NFL Sunday, America’s Game of the Week and Super Bowl telecasts. Its baseball programming encompasses regular-season games, League Championship Series coverage and the World Series. Motorsports coverage includes NASCAR and the Daytona 500; the division added the complete NTT IndyCar Series television package, including the Indianapolis 500, beginning in 2025.
Other major programming areas include college football and basketball, the FIFA Men’s and Women’s World Cups, and the United Football League. Studio productions complement live events with analysis, commentary and debate through programmes such as Big Noon Kickoff, First Things First and The Herd with Colin Cowherd.
Platforms and company history
The division operates FS1, FS2 and the Spanish-language Fox Deportes, alongside digital video through the FOX Sports App and sports FAST programming on Tubi. Its production capabilities span remote broadcast engineering, live transmission, master control, virtual studio production and advertising integration.
Previously situated within News Corporation and then 21st Century Fox’s Fox Networks Group structure, FOX Sports became part of the independent Fox Corporation in March 2019. It continued operating after Disney acquired other 21st Century Fox assets. The former international Fox networks and divested regional sports networks have separate operating histories and ownership.

Production methods and broadcast innovation
- The report credits the early division with pioneering the continuous on-screen score graphic known as the FoxBox, alongside high-fidelity directional audio and dynamic studio presentation.
- Its Charlotte motorsports facility uses advanced green-screen virtual sets running Unreal Engine, adding a specific production implementation beyond its general virtual-production capability.
Operating partnerships and recognition

- FOX NFL Sunday is described as Emmy Award-winning. The supplied report does not specify an award year or category, so the recognition is attributed to the programme rather than presented as a dated studio award.
