YouTube TV announced the agreement on Thursday night.
“We’re happy to share that we’ve reached a deal with Fox to keep their content on YouTube TV,” the company said on social media. “This means that Fox channels, including the Fox Broadcast Network, Fox News, and Fox Sports, remain available, and football fans will not miss any of the action this weekend.”
