Networks and prime time
NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX and The CW carry most of the series people talk about. Many US networks run separate East and West Coast schedules, so check the start time shown in your player’s guide against your own time zone.
United States channel guide
US channels on Fox IPTV
American television is built around the big national networks, cable news and a busy sports calendar. This guide shows the kinds of US channels in the Fox IPTV line-up and how to check the ones your household watches before you choose a plan.
US channels at a glance
What this part of the line-up covers
News through the day
CNN, Fox News, MS NOW and CNBC cover politics and markets, while Bloomberg TV focuses on business. Rolling news is also a useful first test on a new screen because you can judge picture quality within seconds.
A season for every sport
ESPN, Fox Sports 1, NBC Sports and the league networks — NFL Network, NBA TV and MLB Network — follow the US sports year from football in the autumn to baseball in the summer.

Before you choose a plan
What to check on your free trial
- Watch a live game or a news channel at the time you normally would; evenings are when home networks are busiest.
- Check that the guide shows programme times you can use in your own time zone.
- Look for the local or regional channels your household relies on, and note any you cannot find.
- If more than one person watches US sport, decide how many screens will be on during a big game.
Watching on your devices
Setup tip for US viewing
Fire TV sticks and Android TV devices are the most common way US households add Fox IPTV to an existing TV. Big games are worth testing on a wired connection.
Questions about US channels
Good to know
Can I watch my local ABC, CBS, NBC or FOX station?
Local stations vary by city and are not all included in the sample above. Tell support the station or city you need and check it on the free trial.
Which US sports channels are in the directory?
The directory lists examples such as ESPN, ESPN2, Fox Sports 1 and 2, NBC Sports, NFL Network, NBA TV and MLB Network. The line-up can change, so check any channel you rely on.
Do programme times follow my time zone?
That depends on your player app’s guide settings. Most players let you adjust the guide time offset if listings appear an hour or more out.
