YouTube TV Secures Deal with Fox, Ohio State vs. Texas Season Opener Will Be Aired on YouTube TV
Columbus, Ohio – Ohio State football fans can breathe a sigh of relief, YouTube TV has reached a new agreement with Fox Corp, guaranteeing that viewers will be able to watch the Buckeyes’ highly anticipated season-opening game against Texas.
On August 28, YouTube TV announced via its official X (formerly Twitter) account that it had struck a deal with Fox to maintain access to its lineup of channels, including Fox Sports, Fox News, Fox Weather, and the Fox Broadcast Network. This ensures that Ohio sports fans will not miss the Buckeyes as they kick off their 2024 season.
The deal comes after tense negotiations between YouTube TV’s parent company and Fox, following the expiration of their previous contract on August 27. Without an agreement, popular channels such as Fox Sports 1, Fox Business, and Fox News would have gone dark for subscribers. A last-minute extension was announced just before the deadline, giving the parties more time to finalize terms.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Brendan Carr even weighed in on the standoff, warning that removing Fox channels ahead of Saturday’s matchup would be a blow to millions of viewers. Carr emphasized the importance of ensuring fans can enjoy the Ohio State vs. Texas game without disruption.
While financial details of the contract remain undisclosed, this agreement ensures that YouTube TV subscribers in Columbus and across the U.S. will continue to have uninterrupted access to Fox programming—just in time for the Buckeyes’ season kickoff.
