Simply follow the instructions below for the device you want to use to activate FXNOW and start watching your favorite original shows.
How to Activate FX Networks / FXNOW on Apple TV
If you’re watching FX, FX+, FXX, or FXM content on your Apple TV, you’ll need to sign in with your TV provider using a 7-character activation code. Note: Activation is only required for full access to the entire library. Some free shows are available to watch without an account.
How to Activate FX Networks / FXNOW on Android TV
If your smart TV uses Android TV, you won’t need an activation code like you do on Apple TV. However, you’ll still need to sign in with your TV provider to access the full FX library.
How to Activate FX Networks / FXNOW on Roku TV
If you use a Roku device, here are step-by-step instructions to activate FXNOW and unlock the full library. Roku does require using an activation code.
How to Activate FX Networks / FXNOW on Fire TV
How to Stream FX Networks / FXNOW on Xbox Consoles
Both Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S consoles support the FXNOW app. Note: if you use a PlayStation console, the FXNOW app is not currently supported.
How to Stream FX Networks / FXNOW on Android & iOS
You can stream FXNOW content on most Android and iOS devices, and activation is straightforward—no activation code needed. You just need to log in using your TV provider credentials.
How to Stream FX Networks / FXNOW on TVNOW (AT&T)
If you subscribe to AT&T TVNOW, you can watch FX channels directly on that platform. FX channels are included in the Plus package (about $55/month). After making sure you’re subscribed to the right package, just log into TVNOW. You’ll be able to watch FX channels live and even record shows with the Cloud DVR feature.
How to Stream FX Networks / FXNOW on FuboTV
If you already have a FuboTV subscription, you can watch all FX channels (FX, FX+, FXX, and FXM) with the Standard package ($59/month). Simply log in to your FuboTV account and scroll through the list of live channels to find FX. Important: With a Standard FuboTV membership, you can only watch live FX, FX+, FXX, and FXM channels—not on-demand shows.
How to Stream FX Networks / FXNOW on Sling TV
If you’re a Sling TV subscriber, you’ll find FX channels in both their Orange and Blue packages—just pick one, you don’t need both! Go to the Guide tab at the top of your Sling TV interface to find the FX channels. Note: Sling TV only provides live streaming of FX channels; you won’t have access to FXNOW’s full on-demand library.
How to Stream FX Networks / FXNOW on YouTube TV
YouTube TV is another great option for streaming FX channels. With the YouTube TV FX add-on, you can stream on-demand shows, as well as record live TV with available DVR features. However, YouTube TV is the most expensive option right now. You can access FX on-demand shows from the Library tab. Without the add-on, you’re limited to live FX channels (FX, FX+, FXX, and FXM).
How to Stream FX Networks / FXNOW on Hulu TV
If you’re a Hulu subscriber, you can upgrade to Hulu with Live TV to watch all FX channels. However, this only gives you access to the live TV channels (FX, FX+, FXM, FXX)—not the full on-demand FXNOW library. Pro tip: Hulu often offers special bundle deals with Disney+, FX+, and ESPN+, so be sure to check out their promotions!
