Fox Sports, also referred to as Fox Sports Media Group and stylized in all caps, is the sports programming division of the Fox Corporation that is responsible for sports broadcasts carried by the Fox broadcast network, Fox Sports 1 (FS1), Fox Sports 2 (FS2), and the Fox Sports Radio network.[1][2]
The division was formed in 1994 with Fox's acquisition of broadcast rights to
On December 14, 2017, The Walt Disney Company announced plans to acquire then-parent company 21st Century Fox for $52.4 billion, which included key assets such as the regional Fox Sports Networks (which were later sold by Disney to the Sinclair Broadcast Group), FX Networks, and Fox Sports International. Under the terms of the proposed acquisition, Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports 2, and other assets were spun off into the division's current parent company, which is independently owned by 21st Century Fox's current shareholders.[3][4]
History
Establishment
When the Fox Broadcasting Company launched in October 1986, the network's management, having seen how sports programming (in particular,
Six years later, as the league's television contracts for both the National Football Conference (NFC) and American Football Conference (AFC) divisions, and for the Sunday and Monday primetime football packages were up for renewal, Fox placed a bid for $1.58 billion to obtain the broadcast rights to the NFC. On December 17, 1993, the NFL selected Fox's bid and signed a four-year contract with the network to award it the rights to televise regular season and playoff (as well as select preseason) games from the NFC, beginning with the 1994 season; the initial contract also included the exclusive U.S. television rights to broadcast Super Bowl XXXI in 1997.[5] The deal stripped CBS of football telecasts for the first time since 1955.

In August 2011, Fox Sports announced it had reached a seven-year broadcast agreement with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), ending the mixed martial arts promotion's relationship with Spike. The deal included the rights to broadcast four live events in prime time or late night annually, as well as other UFC programming that would air on various Fox properties, including the Fox network (which aired its first UFC match in November 2011, the first time that the UFC aired an event on broadcast television), FX and Fuel TV.[29][30] The contract expired in 2019, with the UFC moving its broadcast rights to ESPN.[31]
On October 22, 2011, FIFA announced that Fox Sports had acquired rights to air its tournaments beginning in 2015, including the 2015 and 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, and the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup. In February 2015, Fox's contract was extended to 2026 (which was ultimately awarded to a joint North American bid led by the United States), in what was reported to be compensation for the rescheduling of the 2022 tournament to late-November/mid-December (which will compete with the regular seasons of the NFL).[32][33]
On August 6, 2013, Fox Sports announced a 12-year deal to broadcast the championships of the

In June 2021, it was announced that Fox would be a minority investor in a new iteration of the United States Football League (USFL), which would operate as a successor to The Spring League.[53][54][55]
In November 2021, it was announced that Fox Sports had acquired English-language rights to UEFA national team matches under a six-year deal from 2022 to 2028, replacing ESPN. This includes the UEFA Nations League beginning in June 2022, tournaments such as UEFA Euro 2024 and 2028, UEFA qualifiers for Euro and the FIFA World Cup, and UEFA-organized friendlies.[56] In January 2022, Fox announced that it would sub-license portions of this package to FuboTV, focusing on the Nations League and selected matches from the European Championships.[57][58]
In January 2022, Fox Sports reached an agreement with the New York Racing Association for the rights to the Belmont Stakes, the third leg of the horse racing triple crown, through 2030.[59]
On February 6, 2024, Fox Sports announced a joint venture with ESPN Inc. and TNT Sports to offer an as-yet-unnamed sports streaming bundle, including the three organizations' main linear sports channels and associated media rights, beginning in fall 2024.[60]
Channels
In addition to the broadcast division, Fox Sports Media Group owns other national cable sports channels and a radio network in the United States, which include:
- Fox Sports 1 – a national general sports network, which presents a wide variety of sports programming.
- Fox Sports 2 – a national general sports network, which serves as a counterpart to FS1.
- sporting eventsinvolving and programs pertaining to its member schools.
- soccermatches.
- Fox Sports Racing – a motorsports-oriented sports network operating in North American markets outside of the U.S. as a replacement for Speed, which primarily carries motorsports events from FS1 and FS2.

On August 17, 2013, the extreme sports-focused Fuel TV was rebranded as Fox Sports 2, a companion network serving primarily as an overflow channel for Fox Sports 1, along with providing supplementary sports coverage.[65]
On September 2, 2013, Fox Soccer was replaced by FXX, an entertainment-based sister network to FX with a focus on comedy programming. With the concurrent shutdown and replacement of the network, Fox Soccer's sports programming was shifted over to Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2. As a result, outside of very rare sports conflicts on both Fox Sports networks, FX no longer carries any sports programming.[66] Fox Soccer's companion premium service, Fox Soccer Plus, continues to exist and supplements soccer coverage on Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2.

Technical evolution
High-definition coverage

Fox Sports began producing selected events in
During the following years, Fox would produce more sports telecasts in HD, but still fell back on using 480p widescreen for events not televised in HD.[69][70]
As of late July 2010, all sports programming broadcast by Fox-owned networks began transitioning to a format optimized for 16:9 widescreen displays, with graphics framed within a widescreen safe area rather than the 4:3 safe area, intended to be shown in a letterboxed format on standard definition feeds.[71]
Virtual reality
From 2016 until selling its virtual reality division FoxNext to Disney in 2019,[72] Fox Sports produced a limited number of game telecasts in 360-degree virtual reality, mostly college football. A TV Everywhere login was required to access the broadcast.[73]
4K coverage
In 2017, Fox Sports began to produce selected telecasts in 4K ultra-high-definition television, beginning with selected NASCAR and college basketball events, and for the 2017 season, a college football game per-week. They are primarily available via DirecTV and other supported providers.[74][75]
Fox began televising its Thursday Night Football games in 1080p upconverted to 4K with HLG HDR on September 26, 2019.[76]

Graphics, scoring bugs, and theme music
The graphics and scoring bugs used by Fox Sports have won awards and changed how sports broadcasts are presented on United States television.[citation needed] The opening notes of the theme used on the Fox network's NFL broadcasts are incorporated in iterations of other themes used on Fox Sports broadcasts. Originally, when the scoring bugs are upgraded, the previous versions were retained for one of the division's other properties for about a year; however, this practice ended in 2009. The first score bug was used for Fox's NFL coverage, and was then expanded to the network's baseball and hockey broadcasts.
One segment of the
Beginning in October 2010, the NFL on FOX theme became uniform for all Fox Sports properties beginning with the National League Championship Series that year and NASCAR races with the 2011 Budweiser Shootout. However, NASCAR and MLB broadcasts reinstated their own theme music in 2016 and 2020, respectively, and the CBB on FOX telecasts were switched over to "Roundball Rock", which was formerly used by the NBA on NBC, in 2019. Fox College Football uses a marching band rendition of the NFL theme, and USFL on FOX, which debuted in 2022, uses the standard version.
2001–2003
By 2001, the score bug was restructured as a banner positioned at the top of the screen, and was simpler than the version used today. It was first utilized that year on Fox's NASCAR coverage with the introduction of a new updated graphics package that was based on the 1998 design; the banner and updated graphics were then utilized on the network's Major League Baseball and NFL telecasts. It featured a translucent black rectangle, a baseball diamond graphic for baseball broadcasts on the far left, the team abbreviations in white with their scores in yellow boxes (the boxes were white for NFL broadcasts until Super Bowl XXXVI, when the coloring was changed to yellow), then the quarter or inning, time or number of outs, pitch count/speed (used for baseball broadcasts), and the logo of the Fox Sports event property whose game is being telecast (such as NFL on Fox or MLB on Fox) on the far right.
2003–2006
Beginning with the 2003 NFL season, the banner was upgraded as part of a new graphics package. At first, the team abbreviations were replaced with team logos, and the scores were rendered in white within black parallelograms. Unlike the previous version, the FoxBox would alternate between a black rectangle and several black parallelograms; however, it reverted to being a black rectangle beginning with the 2004 NFL season, and the team logos would later be replaced with abbreviations in the respective teams' primary colors (the colorized team abbreviations would first be utilized on postseason baseball broadcasts that year). Whenever a team scores a point or a run, the team's score and logo would flash a few times.
During baseball broadcasts, the entire banner would flash with the words "HOME RUN" and the team's name in the team's color zooming in to the center from both left and right. In late 2005, a new white banner resembling a chrome finish was introduced, and the team abbreviations became rendered in white letters in the team's main color; the new banner would then be expanded to NFL and NASCAR broadcasts. Baseball broadcasts continued to use the 2001 scoring banners and graphics in 2004 until the network's coverage of that year's postseason.
During NASCAR telecasts from 2007 to 2011, this graphics package was briefly used to weather delay updates and also used for merchandise for the Digger cam. This graphics package was also used during Prelude to the Dream at Eldora from 2005 to 2007.
2006–2010
Beginning with the 2006 NFL season, the scoring banner was upgraded again. This time, real-time scores from around the league were included as a permanent fixture on the extreme right side of the bar, while the banner's coloring changed to the colors of the team currently in possession of the ball (this coloring scheme was seen only on football broadcasts). The banner no longer flashed after the scoring of runs, touchdowns or
In 2009, this graphics package was dropped entirely for Fox's baseball telecasts and replaced with the then-current
2010–2014
At the beginning of the
2014–2017
A new graphics package for Fox Sports broadcasts was introduced for Fox's NASCAR coverage leading up to the 2014 Daytona 500. Fox Sports Midwest producer Max Leinwand described the look as being "cleaner" than the previous design.[78] The design has also been used to introduce new design conventions for some of Fox's graphics; for NASCAR, the running order ticker was replaced by a leaderboard-style display that was initially displayed as a vertical sidebar.[78][79] MLB uses a score bug at the bottom-right (initially at the bottom-left) of the screen instead of the top-left, while NFL utilized a top-left score bug with a vertical layout.
2017–2020
A new graphics package was launched on August 27, 2017, for Fox's first NFL preseason broadcast, featuring a dark flat design scheme, and shifting football to a horizontal scoreboard along the bottom of the screen (in line with all other NFL broadcasters). Upon its debut, the new football scoreboard was widely panned by viewers for its basic appearance and small text size.[80] This package was also adopted by Big Ten Network (which had previously used its own separate graphics packages),[81] and was deployed for MLB coverage on Fox and FS1 starting with the 2017 MLB postseason.[82] Fox continues to use Vizrt software, and began to increasingly utilize laptops to run its on-air graphics as opposed to full systems (maintained as backups).[82] The introduction of the package to NASCAR for the 2018 season saw Fox once again adopt a vertical leaderboard for the running order, initially within an opaque sidebar before switching to a translucent design for the Daytona 500.[83][84]
2020–present
In a move to give its individual properties distinct
New graphics were adopted by further properties beginning in 2021, including Major League Baseball (beginning with the 2021 postseason),[87] college basketball (beginning with the 2021–22 season),[86] and NASCAR (beginning with the 2022 season, similarly incorporating stylized illustrations similarly to the NFL graphics).[88] In 2023, Fox adopted a "modernized" update to the NFL graphics at Super Bowl LVII,[89][90] college football diverged with a new theme,[91][92] and NHRA coverage debuted new graphics during the U.S. Nationals (via the NHRA's partnership with SMT).[93]
Public service
In February 2008, Fox Sports announced a new charitable foundation called Fox Sports Supports, which provides grants and marketing support for health-related causes. Each organization is tied to a specific events package seen on Fox Sports.[94]
The following are the charities supported during the history of the program:
2008–2009 cycle (began with 2008 Daytona 500)
- NASCAR on Fox: Autism Speaks
- MLB on Fox: Make-A-Wish Foundation
- NFL on Fox: Children's Health Fund
- Fox College Football: Alzheimer's Association
2009–2010 cycle (began with 2009 Daytona 500)
- NASCAR on Fox: Susan G. Komen for the Cure
- MLB on Fox: The Michael J. Fox Foundation

- Fox College Football: Malaria No More
Gambling
In May 2019, amid the state-by-state legalization of sports betting in the United States following the repeal of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992, Fox Corporation entered into a joint venture with The Stars Group to develop gaming products under the brand Fox Bet. They included free-to-play games such as Fox Bet Super 6, and a real-money mobile sportsbook operating in several states where they are legal. The services and games were co-promoted on Fox Sports properties, including the Fox Sports 1 studio program Fox Bet Live (formerly Lock it In).[95] As part of the agreement, Fox Corporation acquired a 4.99% stake in The Stars Group,[96][97][98] which was later acquired by Flutter Entertainment. Fox holds a 2.6% minority stake in Flutter, and was given an option to acquire up to 18.5% of its U.S. division FanDuel in 2021.[99][100][101]
On July 30, 2023, it was announced that Fox Corporation and Flutter would close down their Fox Bet platform in a phased closure, starting the next day and ending on August 31. As part of the deal, Fox Corporation retained future use of the Fox Bet brand and will be relaunching Fox Bet Super 6 under a different guise later in the year.[102] Although not exactly confirmed, it was likely that Fox Corporation didn't exercise a right to acquire up to 50% of The Stars Group on the condition it was licensed, allowing themselves and Flutter to shut down Fox Bet in August 2023.[103]
Programming issues
Although the amount of sports content on the network has gradually expanded since Fox Sports was founded in 1994 (particularly since 2013), Fox's sports schedule on weekend afternoons has remained very inconsistent to this day as the majority of its sports contracts are with professional leagues and collegiate conferences associated with more widely known sporting events, with very limited supplementary coverage of
Some of the network's sports telecasts (most frequently, college football and Sunday afternoon NFL games, and the World Series) delay or outright pre-empt regularly scheduled local evening newscasts on Fox stations due to typical overruns past a set time block or pre-determined later start times; a few Fox affiliates that maintain news departments (such as WBRC in Birmingham, Alabama and WVUE-DT in New Orleans) have opted not to air or have cancelled early evening newscasts on Saturdays and Sundays due to frequent sports preemptions in that daypart, while others (such as WDAF-TV in Kansas City, Missouri) instead reschedule their weekend early evening news programs to an earlier timeslot if possible when Fox is scheduled to air an evening game or race.
Conversely, some Fox Sports programming (though never major sports, NASCAR, or college football) is delayed for later airing for several reasons.
As is done with CBS, Fox offers a flex schedule for its NFL and Major League Baseball telecasts, featuring a selection of up to four games that vary on a regional basis, allowing either one or (often) two consecutive telecasts to air on a given day depending on the Fox station's designated market.
