This means that DirecTV customers can now access the growing amount of sporting events and programming offered by Fox Sports online. I just checked myself, and was able to view multiple NASCAR, soccer, and college basketball offerings.
This, along with the coming ability to access WatchESPN, is a boon to DirecTV’s offering and, frankly, has been a long time coming. With the increasing demand for streaming-service access, DirecTV finally has leveled the playing field with its competitors, at least in terms of sports.
The FOX Sports GO app is available for both iOS and Android, and is accessible via standard web browser.
