cord-cutting › fxx • April 10, 2025 • The Staff

FXX (not to be confused with sister channel FX) is what you tune in for comedy series like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Dave. But mainly, FXX airs adult animated shows like Archer, Bob's Burgers, and Futurama. Fittingly, it dedicates its main slot to the king of adult cartoons, The Simpsons, which it airs marathons of in primetime.

You can stream FXX live without cable on DirecTV Stream, Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV + Hollywood Extra, or YouTube TV.

The cheapest option to watch FXX live is Sling TV + Hollywood Extra for $52/month.

FXX on Sling TV + Hollywood Extra

If you're a Sling TV subscriber looking to fortify your channel line-up, you might want to consider the Hollywood extra package—perfect if you're a movie fan and lover. It has eight channels dedicated to cinema, including SundanceTV (a treasure trove of indie gems) and Turner Classic Movies (endless classics for history film buffs). Sling Blue subscribers also get two additional channels: FXX and the FX Movie Channel, which are both subsidiaries of the Walt Disney company. Both libraries include films from 20th Century Studios, Twentieth Century Pictures, and Fox Film.

FXX on YouTube TV

If you enjoy using the DVR option, Youtube TV is arguably the best option in the market for you: it gives you unlimited DVR storage on the Cloud (accessible from any of your devices), and it saves each of your recordings for 9 months. Also, you can share Youtube TV with up to six accounts, so if you have a big family, this is a much better option than getting a bunch of cheaper Live TV subscriptions. Youtube TV allows up to three accounts of the six to watch at the same time.
