“KeepFox.com” is a website and a campaign from Fox Corp. to alert YouTube TV subscribers about a potential blackout of Fox channels. FOX’s contract with Google’s YouTube TV to carry FOX, FS1, Big Ten Network, FOX News Channel and more is about to expire.
YouTube TV customers across the country are in danger of losing some of their favorite sports, news and entertainment programming from FOX, FOX Sports, FS1, FS2, Big Ten Network, FOX Deportes, FOX News Channel and local FOX Stations across the country.
YouTube TV customers could be deprived of some of the fall’s biggest television sporting events, including NFL on FOX, College Football on FOX, FS1 and Big Ten Network, and MLB on FOX and FS1.
Here’s a breakdown of the situation:
Contract Dispute:
- Fox’s current contract with Google’s YouTube TV is nearing its expiration date (in late August 2025).
Channels at Risk:

- Local Fox stations
- Fox Sports (FS1, FS2, and Big Ten Network)
- Fox News Channel
- Fox Business
- Fox Deportes
- And others
- If a new deal isn’t reached, YouTube TV customers could lose access to a number of Fox channels, including:
The “Keep Fox” Campaign:
- Fox is using the website
keepfox.comto encourage its viewers to contact YouTube TV and urge them to reach a new agreement. The site provides a way for subscribers to chat or get a call from YouTube TV support.
- Fox is using the website
YouTube TV’s Stance:

How to Customize FOX in Your YouTube TV Experience
1. Turn Off “Autoplay on Start”
If FOX or Fox News always shows up when you open the app:
Go into Settings on your YouTube TV app.
Disable Autoplay on Start.
This stops the app from defaulting to a channel—especially one you might not watch.
2. Hide Channels via Custom Guide
You can hide FOX channels in your custom guide:
Create a Custom Guide view.
In that view, choose which types of channels to include—or exclude FOX.
Note: Hidden channels may still appear if you switch back to the “Default” guide layout.
What’s Coming Up: Potential FOX Channel Disruption
Heads-up: FOX channels on YouTube TV may be impacted due to a contract dispute.
If no agreement is reached by 5:00 PM ET on August 27, 2025, FOX Sports, FOX Business, and FOX News could be removed from the service.
YouTube has pledged a $10 credit if the blackout is prolonged.
If you do see a disruption instead of just changing your guide layout, it may not be a glitch—but a real service change.
Summary Table
| Your Concern | Recommended Action |
|---|---|
| FOX always shows on app launch | Turn off Autoplay on Start in settings |
| FOX appears in your guide | Customize your guide and hide FOX channels where possible |
| Channels unavailable entirely | Check for service updates—FOX may be off due to contract issues |
In essence, “keepfox.com” is not a service you can get on YouTube TV; it is a public relations and lobbying effort by Fox to put pressure on YouTube TV during a contract negotiation.
